NSTRA FIELD TRIALS
NSTRA Field Trials provide competition with others who enjoy bird dogs, in a sportsmanlike environment under hunting conditions. During a 30 minute brace the dogs are primarily judged on finds and retrieves. Additional scores are given for ground cover, obedience and honoring another dogs point if the situation arises. At the end of the day the dog with the highest score wins.
