Mock Test

Schuylkill Valley GSP Club

The Mock Test will take place on Sunday, August 30 at Freeland Kennel Club in Weatherly Pa.

The Fall Hunt test season will be here before you know it. Come join us in a Mock Hunt Test. You will be judged by AKC judges and given the opportunity to make corrections in the field. After the course you can talk to the judges about their thoughts on the brace. There are no DQ’s. In fairness to your bracemate, you must enter your dog in a level they are currently in. If you have a new dog that you feel is ready for SH but hasn’t yet done JH, please enter in JH. If you feel they are ready to move up even though you haven’t completed the level, please call Carmen (215-622-4691) before entering. This isn’t a training day, it is a Mock Hunt Test. Bitches in season run last.
