Hunt Test Introduction, Monday April 14, 2025
Would you like to learn more about hound hunt tests? Would you like an opportunity for your Fauve to give it a try? If so, please join us on Monday, April 14, 8:00 AM – approximately 1:00 PM at the Middle Georgia Beagle Club Grounds. The address is 530 Hickory Drive, Roberta GA.
People and dogs of all experience levels are welcome – – this will be a fun introductory event. We will have an AKC Field Rep there, along with a couple Beagle trial judges who will answer questions and help us get started. It should be fun for you and your dogs! There is a building with a restroom on the property. Bring your own chair, snacks and water, and you will want to wear shoes and pants that are appropriate for walking in a field. Your dog can wear a tracking collar, if you wish. The grounds are securely fenced.
