The Know How Of A Field Trial As A Sport

By Greg Poole


Everyone who owns a dog must have seen an ad somewhere about trials and wondered which one would be best for their hunting dog. There are different kinds of events for dogs and therefore, one needs to understand which field trial is best suitable for their bird dog. Ames plantation is usually the home for the national championships and it is a good place to enjoy this outdoor activity. Dogs that participate in the trials are referred to as the hunting dogs.

Before dogs are allowed to contest in the championships, there are various breeding features that are normally applied on them to make them qualified for the tests. The trainers normally test some characteristics in them before letting them compete as hunting dogs. Dogs that are affirmed as the best are normally given this title because of their performance on the trials. Nonetheless, many individuals think that some hunting dogs just get to be the finest because their breeds are the most prevailing which gives them good odds.

For example, the number of Labradors that usually compete in any trial is usually larger than that of any other breed. Does this mean that the Labradors are really that dominant or they just have an advantage because of the large numbers? However, it is more realistic to say that popularity of a certain dog is brought about by its success and not the number of its kind that participated in the field test.

Every February of every year has two weeks specifically set for the most popular field test championships across the globe. This is an event that brings together different pointers and setters in one place, always the Ames plantation for a very historic event. This is usually the national competition where dogs from different states participate.

This competition is normally so hard because only the most competent dogs participate. For a dog to be qualified they must have at least won two of the qualifier competitions that are usually set prior to the main event. Those that have previously participated over the years are however allowed to join with a minimum of second or third position in the qualifiers.

The judges usually look at the stamina shown by the dogs during the hunting and also how many birds they manage to capture. There is also a test for endurance and the manner in which they handle the hunts. For example, the judges will check if the dogs point with style during the actual hunting.

Shadow oak Bo is a male setter and it has struck twice on the Ames plantation championships. It made history in 2014 after it captured the crown after 43 years of dry spell in the setter breed. The Shadow Oak Bo is one of the only two bird dogs that have ever won the national bird dog championships within a period of a hundred years. The other one was Red Water Rex, an English Pointer. Many people feel that Shadow Oak Bo is the best bird dog that ever lived.

Many individuals who have previously tried this activity can verify that it is arguably one of the finest outdoor events to ever be created. The judges at this occasion are usually very qualified and they ensure that each dog is given the mark they merit after one hundred and eighty minutes on the limelight.
