Welcome Statement
NSDTRC-USA Region 7 Welcomes you to the 2014 National Specialty Hunt Test! A special
thank you to Clinton County Farmers and Sportsmen Association for allowing us to utilize these
beautiful grounds. Please help maintain the natural beauty of these grounds by picking up your
litter. We would also like to thank our judges Bob Bush, Tom Manion, Patty McCabe, Leslie
Philips, Joe Smithberger,and Ed Zawodny, our committee, and all volunteers for helping to make
this event possible. We ask that all handlers be willing to pitch in and help where needed thereby
making it possible for everyone to enjoy the day.
The building located at 301 Batson Rd will serve as the headquarters for the event. Any preordered meals will be served inside the building. Meals may be ordered on the club website:
http://nsdtrc-usa.org/product-category/meals/ There is ample seating inside the building as well
as restrooms.
Please cooperate with the members of the hunt test committee. They have been instructed to
adhere to the running order as closely as possible; if you have a conflict, are running multiple
dogs in different stakes, or if you arrive late, please speak to a committee member immediately.
Day of Test Entries Will Not Be Accepted.
It is important that you watch the test dog and hear the Judges' scenario and instructions so that
you will understand the test and what is expected of you and your dog. You should also be
familiar with the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever Club (USA) Rules and Regulations for the
BRT/WC/WCI/WCX. Please note the WCI & WCX will be run under the same judges. The
WCX dogs land series will run first, followed by the WCI land. The same will be true for the
water series.
Dogs may not be entered in more than one stake and bitches in season are not allowed to run in
the test. (see refunds) Please remember that appropriate hunting attire (camouflage or dark
clothing) is required for all handlers and the gallery.
Cell phones, beepers and pagers should be turned off in the gallery and near the line. They have
the potential to significantly disturb the working dogs, handlers and judges. In the spirit of good
sportsmanship leave your electronic devices in your vehicle.
Please be courteous to the marshals, judges and workers who graciously give their time and
expertise to support this event.
If you have questions feel free to ask the marshals.
Have fun and Good Luck!
