DogJoy BHA Licensed Barn Hunt Trials - Day One
TWO Master Only Trials and TWO Crazy 8s Trials

BHA Licensed Barn Hunt Trials are titling events for BHA registered dogs. We are offering TWO trials per day for four days so lots of chances to FIND THAT RAT! Dogs must be registered with BHA in order to compete but all breeds are welcome! Our area follows BHA rules NOT AKC rules, so be aware of those slight changes. Competitors are responsible for knowing and understanding the rules as they vary from other scent work sports.

Moveups and day of show entries are accepted at the event if there are runs available.

We will be running THREE rings with the levels divided between the rings to minimize conflicts with other events. The judges will rotate through the rings throughout the weekend (so Judge A is in Ring 1 on Day 1, then Ring 2 on Day 2, and Ring 3 on Day 3 and so on).

Entries open May 6, 2017.
