Gun Dog It Yourself

181. United Field Trial Association (UFTA)

Listen Later

If you're like me, you're always looking for a new and fun challenge to take on with your dogs to try and extend the hunting season. One of the first people I met in the dog world, Brandon Tarquinio, invited me up to Kentucky to check out the UFTA's (United Field Trial Association) National trials. I had a blast and will definitely be participating at some events down the road!

  • First impressions of meeting Nick the greenhorn!
  • What is the UFTA?
  • Trials vs Tests vs Games
  • The different divisions within UFTA
  • Running orders and setups
  • How to qualify for the Nationals
  • The layout of an actual run
  • The point structure
  • Efficiency is the name of the game!
  • How to prepare for the game
  • Steadiness requirements
  • Handler strategy and rules
  • Real hunting vs the game and how the dogs handle both
  • The cost of running a trial
  • The prize pool and money!
