About this episode
Just because you get involved in NAVHDA doesnt mean you have to aim for the Invitational test. Perhaps a dog that prizes in the Utility Preparatory Test is the right level dog for you and your goals. Pete Aplikowski joins us again to discuss the elements of a UPT dog and how they may line up with the average person wanting a hunting dog. Perhaps getting people to test in the UPT will eventually lead to more people wanting to train and test a higher level.
