AKC Spaniel Hunt Test Seminar for Judges and Handlers (with Hunt Test) – Fall 2021

Friday, September 17, 2021
Rebel Ridge Farms,
Elkton MD

MSDA hosted a unique AKC Spaniel Hunt Test Seminar for Judges and Handlers in conjunction with our September Hunt Tests. This event was presented by Tom Meyer (AKC lead rep for Spaniel Hunt Tests/Field Trials) and was conducted entirely in the field, revolving around a licensed AKC Spaniel Hunt Test. Tom conducted the seminar as he was judging the test with one other judge, and used the actual field set-ups and dog performances for teaching in lieu of a classroom lecture.

Thanks to Tom Meyer and all of the participants and volunteers.

If you have any questions about how the seminar and hunt test were conducted or have some follow-up comments, please contact the Event Chair, Steve Surprenant (Surprenant@mdsportingdog.org).
