Hunt Testing Upland Poodles

PCA UPLAND RULESUpland Hunt Tests & Tournaments

There are different types of hunting tests, reflecting the different types of bird hunting. - retriever tests (on land and in the water), pointer tests, and flushing or upland tests.  There are also versatility tests which include both upland and retriever work.  It is the upland and versatility tests that we are interested in on the Upland Poodle website.  

Currently there are few places where a poodle can be tested and certified at upland hunting.  With the start of the Poodle Club of America's Upland Hunting Program, the opportunities for poodles have been expanded. 

 

The following organizations allow poodles to participate in their upland or versatile gundog tests and tournaments. 

 
 

PCA - (Poodle Club of America) - has a three level upland program, and a two level versatility program.  
HRC (Hunting Retriever Club) - has an upper level upland title (UH) and a top level versatility title (GRHRCH).  
NAHRA - (North American Hunting Retriever Association) - has three upper level versatility titles.  
UGA - (Upland Gundog Association) - is a new organization, now offering events with two levels of titling.  
Tournaments - various tournaments, including the National Bird Dog Circuit, sometimes allow poodles to compete.
