Sudbury and District Kennel Club
Spaniel Field Trial

May 6 and May 7 2006

This event has been completed for 2006.
 
For more information please contact via email given below.

This event is licensed by the Canadian Kennel Club and the purpose is to test the hunting skills of English Springer Spaniels. It is to be held as close to hunting conditions as possible and Spaniels from the US and Canada will be competing for Championship points. Because live birds will be released all spectators must wear an article of hunter orange in order to be visible to our gunners. This is our first Spring Trial and hopefully, we will have more in the future. Our fall trial has been scheduled for October and we will be applying to the Canadian Kennel Club for dates. Lunch and refreshments will be available on the ground both days.
