Today from 9am until 4pm, thirty Vizsla owners got together for a Demystifying Field Trials and Hunt Test seminar.

First off was two hours in the club room.  Randy Berry, professional trainer and handler, explains to Vizsla owners the "how-tos" of field trialing.  Good questions and discussions about the sport of field trialing.

Then it was out into his training field for how he starts out a very young pup; a little older pup; then Bailey was used to show green broke dog field work and finally finished dual champion Vizsla, Tommy by Tommy.

A good lunch was cooked up and then we all went back into the club house for a couple more hours on hunt test overview and more on field trialing by long time Vizsla owners and judges.
Just before Bailey's first ever run in a Master Hunt Test last Saturday

Great sharing of knowledge and stories of how to succeed in these sports.  Thanks to those that put this together.  Time very well spent!
