We will post more info as the first trial comes together.
This is an American Field sanctioned, US Complete Shooting Dog Association (http://www.uscomplete.org/) sanctioned, walking trial. We will run the Shooting Dog and Derby at the Silo course and will use the Barn course for Puppy stake. We run 2 trials per year, March 14 & 15 this year, weekend 11 and Sept 12 & 13, weekend 37. We will request the same weekends each year. We will be paying purses in the Open events, along with Rosettes. Amateurs stakes will be given Rosettes.
We would love to see entries from all the pointing breeds and the Amateur Shooting Dog stake would be a great stake for folks new to AF field trials to enter, compete and enjoy what we do in this format. If you want to review the rules, again go to the US Complete Web site and review the rules for this format.
The club is a member of the Association of Michigan Field Trial Clubs and all of our stakes will qualify for Michigan Walking Dog of the Year standings. Additionally, as a sanctioned club with US Complete, points will be earned for US Complete Dog and Hander of the year in both Open and Amateur and also the US Complete Invitational Championship.
The Highland Field Trial Club will run its first trial March 14-15, 2009 at the Highland Field Trial grounds in Highland, MI. This will be a U.S. Complete walking trial. Stakes to be run: Open Shooting Dog, Open Derby, Open Puppy, Amateur Shooting Dog. An Amateur Derby will be run time permitting.
