The Upland Gundog Association is an all breed upland hunt test organization built on the concept of evaluating a dog's ability to hunt.  We offer tests in the pointing, and flushing divisions offered at the Gundog level, and the Advanced level.  Our goal is simple; anyone who owns a hunting dog, from a single dog owner who hunts a few times per year, all the way up to a professional trainer and handler should be running our tests.  We are one of the few places to test retrievers in the upland bird hunting sector, other than the UKC test that is only offered at the "finished" level.  The Gundog level test still requires an exceptional hunting dog to pass, but is not as advanced as the finished level tests.  We are also unique in that we allow pointing labs to earn pointing titles, granted they can comply with the test rules.  One of our biggest perks, is our cost.  Our prices to run our test events are extremely reasonable and titles can be earned in a single weekend, which eliminates the need for multiple entry fees and additional travel/lodging costs.  Your dog will get 2 runs to earn their title, and then on Sunday get a third run in what we call the Open Gundog Challenge.  The Open Gundog Challenge is seperate from the hunt test portion of our event, but allows us to have some fun and potentially earn another title for our dogs.  The objective is simple for the Open Gundog Challenge: hunt and harvest 3 birds in the fastest time to win (run for both the pointer division, and the flushing division).  visit our website for more details!  www.uplandgundog.com
