LVHRC "Top Team" Rules

Timeframe: Annual event, running September-May

Contestants: Any club member may enter. Participation in AKC, HRC, or NAHRA-sanctioned events are subject to their Club rules and restrictions. Entry can occur at any time during the competition year; however, points accrued prior to entry will not retroactively apply.

Teams: Dog, primary handler identified at the beginning of the competition year, or alternate in the absence of the primary handler.

Competition Categories:

• Master: Open to any dog that has already earned Senior Hunter (or equivalent) title at the time they enter annual competition.
• Senior: Open to any dog that has not yet earned Senior Hunter (or equivalent) title at the time they enter annual competition.
• Junior: Open to any dog that has not yet earned Junior Hunter (or equivalent) title at the time they enter annual competition.

Contestants will remain in their “entered” category throughout the competition year, even if they earn a title that would make them eligible for the next higher category.

Entry Fees:           $10 to enter annual competition
                                Individual club events will have their own entry fees to defray event costs          (birds, etc).
                                All club fees waived for youth handlers.
                                AKC, HRC, NAHRA rules and entry fees will apply to those sponsored events.
                                No additional  club fees.

Awards: Annual “traveling trophies” for each category. Ribbons for each Club-sponsored qualifying event.

Qualifying Events:

• Club Sponsored: LVHRC will host at least six qualifying events during the competition year. These could include picnic hunt tests, Super Singles competition, or any other relevant event determined by the board prior to the start of any competition year. Picnic hunt tests will be governed, to the extent possible, by AKC Retriever Hunt Test rules.
• AKC, HRC, NAHRA Sponsored: Any AKC, HRC, or NAHRA-sponsored hunt test during the competition year can potentially accrue competition points. In order to earn competition points, dogs must be entered into their “competition” category.  Dates for these events can be found in Entry Express.

Point System:
Points will be awarded throughout the year and reported via LVHRC website. Each participant is responsible for the accuracy of their own points.

• LVHRC "Super Saturday": 2 points for a qualifying Pass, plus 2 additional points for first place and 1 additional point for second place in each category.

•  LVHRC Picnic Hunt Test: 3 points for each qualifying Pass.
•  AKC, HRC, NAHRA Sponsored Hunt Tests: 5 points for each qualifying Pass.
