    HPR would need a tracking element also.Why not run them through GSP club?
    Run with it! now matter how you start it will just develop--it dont have to be a polished diamond to start with
    Tweed or not to Tweed that is the question

    That's the starting format. Ultimately I hope it will be a shooting trial on pheasants and hares/rabbits with a water retrieve added.

    I think a tracking section is a waste of time. In my experience, any track a human can lay is extremely easy for any half decent dog to complete and it ends up taking up loads of time and real estate to lay the tracks.

    I'm not sure of a way to do it but I would like to see it be a part of the format eventually if a decent solution can be developed. For the time being it isn't included.
