181. United Field Trial Association (UFTA)

If you're like me, you're always looking for a new and fun challenge to take on with your dogs to try and extend the hunting season. One of the first people I met in the dog world, Brandon Tarquinio, invited me up to Kentucky to check out the UFTA's (United Field Trial Association) National trials. I had a blast and will definitely be participating at some events down the road! First impressions of meeting Nick the greenhorn! What is the UFTA? Trials vs Tests vs Games The different divisions within UFTA Running orders and setups How to qualify for the Nationals The layout of an actual run The point structure Efficiency is the name of the game! How to prepare for the game Steadiness requirements Handler strategy and rules Real hunting vs the game and how the dogs handle both The cost of running a trial The prize pool and money! -- Presented By: Standing Stone Supply "The perfect course for someone getting a new puppy!"
