The Chukar Challenge is a fun, competitive event for all pointing breeds.

Classic / Saturday

The June Chukar Challenge Classic on Saturday has separate events for Pointers and Flushers/Spaniels. This is your chance to work your dog on some good flying chukar partridges and hone your shooting skills in a fun and competitive event.

Format: Participants will have 20 minutes for their dog to find 3 birds. Pointing dogs must point the birds. Handler and gunner will enter the field with a limited number of shotgun shells. Challenge points are awarded for number of birds found (up to 3), pointing ability, retrieves, birds in the bag, and number of shells remaining at the end of their run. Placements are given. Participants can do their own shooting or bring a friend to gun for them. Club members will be available if you need a gunner. Participants in all events should watch the AKC Gunner Safety video.

The activity fee for each run per person with a dog is $125. This includes three (3) chukars.
