A big success
The Coppa Italia took place on Saturday 28 and Sunday 29 January on the grounds of Crotone, in the Municipality of Cutro, with following dogs on fox (single-couple-wetsuit categories), organized by the Italian Hunting Federation in collaboration with Federcaccia Calabria and the Provincial Section of Crotone. The test, reserved for teams of three hunters (single and pairs cat.) and teams of four hunters (mute cat.), owners or handlers of tracking dogs, has met with great success. The land in the immediate vicinity of Crotone and the Papanice hamlet, mainly characterized by Mediterranean scrub, proved to be optimal for carrying out the test itself. A special thanks goes to the organizing section, the provincial Federcaccia of Crotone, which under the guidance of President Angelo Madia, with commitment and extreme dedication took care of every detail both in the organizational phase and in carrying out the test, with particular attention to the competitors which has been given the opportunity to beat suitable areas and with the presence of wild.
