    QC, Rough Shooters and Natural Game Trials

    How many of us are planning to go to these?

    I'm running both dogs at the QC (I use the term 'running' very loosely in Laina's case) on 9 Feb, will definitely attend the GSP and Waikato Rough Shooters Trials (no dates yet but Waikato is historically 25 April) and will give the Natural Game Trials a go. It is a long way to go to be disqualified though..............

    And I nearly forgot the training weekend at Rotorua (2/3 March) plus the North Islands at Tuakau plus the GSP Club champ PS trials (9/10 March).

    I have become seriously despondent about these types of events recently... OK, so a trial can determine things. only if the prerequisite tests hunting dogs, if the the trial has become the the focus... the whole thing is fucked.

    Does one have to be a member of the Waikato club to attend the Rough shooters trial?

    all trials test a dogs ability to a lesser or greater degree depending on format

    It's what we mainlanders call the pig island shooters. Rough.

    All trials have good and bad things. One thing is sure: a trial is the only possibility to compare dogs from diffrent handlers/owners , on the same ground, in the approx same conditions, weather, etc.......
    I will be the first to say that there are negative points, but so be it.

    Sure can Tussock, you can enter novice and limit trials with a crossbreed

    You can run them in open as well as long as it's a minor trial (non-championship). They are good fun.

    I think I'm gonna go to the QC just to watch and get the pup out and about as I don't have anything to run. Quin already got his QC and Axel is too young.

    I'll do all the natural game trials this year and can't wait to see the new grounds.

    I don't usually do the rough shoots as it's usually during a bad time for school.
