Walking Shooting Dog winners at the 2009 National Red Setter Field Trial Club trialsSupporting Walking Stakes supports The Purest Challenge!
Walking Field Trials are without a doubt, the foundation of our sport. They may also may provide us with our long term salvation. Unfortunately, multiple modern constraints including but not restricted to; diminishing natural resources (i.e.grounds & wild birds), negative public sentiment towards hunting sports and the current perhaps even future economic condition are all concerns which are creeping ever closer to curtailing or even terminating our mutual activities.Walking handler field trial have a multiplicity of benefits including an affordable entry point for new postulants into our time honored sport. Let's not forget that FIELD TRIALING offers a viable ECO FRIENDLY (Ecologically &Economically) program of family oriented outdoor sporting activitites for both spectators and sporting dog enthusiasts.
