The provincial delegation of Viterbo ofANUUMigrators arranged for Sunday 19 June 2016 a competition intended for pointing dogs. Wanting to be even more precise, this is a dog trial designed for English and Continental breeds, therefore the categories that will contend for the victory will be two. Furthermore, the wild chosen in this case will be the partridge. The start is scheduled at 6, with an appointment fixed at the Azienda Faunistica Venatoria "Il Casalone" which is part of the Viterbo municipality.
It is a hunting reserve set up within 400 hectares, which are intended, in particular, for fodder crops and cattle breeding. The tests of the pointing dogs will then take place at the "Albatros" sport fishing lakes. Just this year the Italian National Dog Club (ENCI) has decided to update the regulations of the events valid for dogs belonging to the pointing breeds: the tests on partridges are included among the eight recognized by the Authority.
The goal is to evaluate the performance of dogs. Judges usually demand one rather fast and sustained pace, devoid of any bending during the entire duration of the shift. The search, the firm and the consensus, then, must be such as to put in great evidence the great natural qualities of the animal, the olfactory power, the promptness of reflexes, the safety and continuity of action.
