Duuuude...I want in on that as long as its a shooting trial

it would be hard as the terrain is for the very fit and they are not in great numbers

Would be a good test of a hunting dog

equally for people

For the versatile crowd there's some stuff in the works re:trials/training and there should be some stuff on tap in the Auckland region this summer. When official plans are made I'll put something up here. I'd really like to get some solid support behind it when the time comes to show that it's viable. The fact is versatile far outnumber the pointers and setters but are in low numbers at trials.

HPR Trials? I'm in!

It's gonna be pretty basic pigeon stuff to start but it's a start.

Nov 4th I believe. I'll get all the details when I head back north after the trials this weekend.

I already run my dog in P&S Trials and have tested in the NZVHDTA system as far as it is possible to. But I'm keen to be involved in developing an HPR Trial if required.

I figured you'd be into it.

We need to get all the participants we can to show that there's support there for HPR trials.

The eventual goal is shooting natural game trials like the spaniels but we have to start somewhere.

will i be able to run my pointer in these HPR trials

I don't see why not

i was wandering if it was a step to seperating the two..HPRs and P&S


ps..i will be trialling my new pointer and am keen to help out setting up HPR trials when the time comes

I see no need to separate the two.

The idea of the HPR trials is to encompass both upland bird work and retrieving and eventually allow for work on fur in an attempt to more accurately mimic hunting demands.

so we can run spaniels in them too.

If they point, sure
