🐾 GPLRC AKC Fun Hunt — hosted by Greater Pittsburgh Labrador Retriever Club
📅 Sunday, August 30, 2026 · starts the conclusion of the WC Test
📍 GPLRC Training Grounds

What we'll do: This will be an AKC Fun Hunt judged to the standard of each stake.

Kevin Buckley and Susie Knapp will "judge" the dogs and provide feedback on handler and dog performance.

Handler's should run their dogs as if they are running an actual hunt test.

This is a great opportunity to gauge your readiness for a test.

All levels will run from the same setup adapted to the level of the dog running.

Each level will run a land and water series and all dogs are eligible to run the second series, regardless of performance in the first series.

No live flyers will be used for this event.

Fees: $15 per dog
