I’ve been trying to find some information about Field Trials for some time now. The rules and information about these events are not easy to come by.
Fortunately, a few friends pointed me to some info. Here’s what they showed I me. This info cleared up some of the questions I had about. I hope it does the same for you. If you know of any more resources, please send them my way: gregg@dogsanddoubles.com.
