Prior to competition the dog must pass an Odor Recognition Test (ORT) on each of the target odors. The target odors are Birch, Anise and Clove. Elements of competition include box drills (container search), interior building search, exterior area search and vehicle search. Dogs have an amazing sense of smell and a natural desire to hunt and this sport encourages and develops your dog’s natural abilities.
K9 ACTIVITY CLUB PROFESSIONAL
This allows dogs to experience the fun, sniffing part of these activities without the risk, liability or requirement of professional canines. The sport borrows elements from the activities of detection canines and puts them in a recreational setting. Nosework – The National Association of Canine Scent Works (NACSW) is the governing body for a new sport entitled K9 Nose Work, which originated on the West coast but is making its way across the country. Again these title names may be added to the dog’s registered name. Generally three titles are achieved beginning with Junior Hunter (JH), followed by Senior Hunter (SH) and culminating with Master Hunter (MH). They are judged at different ability levels and as they master a level they are elevated to the next level. Their abilities are judged against a standard. Hunt Tests – These are designed to test a dog’s hunting skills for finding, pointing, flushing and retrieving birds.
Winning dogs are assigned points that lead to the title of being a Field Champion or FC to be included to the dog’s registered name. They may run with another dog in what is termed a brace and can be evaluated by judges who may follow on horseback. Like dog shows, field trials judge a dog’s ability in the field doing the aforementioned abilities. The dog judged best in breed that day can then go on and compete against all the other breeds in their group and then attempt to be judged the best dog at that show that day.įield Trials – Breeds designated in the Sporting Dog Group are hunting dogs that are especially good at hunting, pointing, flushing and retrieving game birds. Dogs and bitches must accumulate the required number of points defined by the sanctioning body (AKC, UKC, etc.) to achieve their Championship and have the right to place a CH. Points are assigned to the winners based on the entry size. Dogs are separated by sexes and judged by gender at first and then the best entered that day is chosen from among the winners. At sanctioned dog shows, dogs are judged to that standard and winners are determined. True breeders are constantly striving to meet that standard or come as close to it as possible. Titles include Novice Agility (NA) and Open Agility (OA).ĭog Shows / Conformation – Each breed has established a standard that depicts what the perfect dog in that breed should be like. Once again as in obedience titles are earned via legs. Scores are based on faults similar to horse show events. A handler’s skill in training their dog is tested as the dog must complete the course with as few errors as possible. It’s an activity that strengthens the bond between dog and handler and provides fun and exercise for both. In an agility trial, a dog demonstrates its agile nature and versatility by following cues from the handler through a timed obstacle course of jumps, tunnels, weave poles and other objects.
