Here is a chance to get out into the field with your hunting dog during the off-season in a trial designed to promote a little sportsman-like competition between the breeds. We will once again attempt to determine whether the pointing breeds, or flushing breeds, are better suited for the rigors of upland game hunting, while establishing bragging rights for the best upland bird dog.

The trial will feature planted Chukar in an effort to better simulate an actual hunting environment. Hunter-dog teams will be judged based on time, and shells expended, to shoot and retrieve three birds.

When: March 13, 2004; 7:30 a.m. sign in, first runs at 8 a.m.

Where: Prado Dog-Training Area. (Prado Regional Park) off Euclid, south of Highway 60, north of Highway 91, Chino, California.

You must register in advance to ensure a run.

Indicate on your registration form what time you would like to be assigned for your first and second choice. You must arrive one hour before your run time.

Cost: $60 registration fee for trial, ($55 for SGVQU and other QU members), $45 for reruns. Reruns will be after all first-runs are completed, if there is time and birds available. (Prado charges a $10 entry fee into the Park.)
