IMPORTANT NOTE: 

• Bitches in season will not be permitted to run

RUNNING ORDER: 

Dogs may be run in an order different from the order in which they are drawn when, in the opinion of the Judges or Hunting Test Committee,

such will result in a reasonable and desirable saving of time or in the conduct of the event. This provision does not apply to late arrivals.

BIRDS: Quail and/or chukar partridges shall be used in the land series of Junior, Senior and Master Hunting Tests.
