Welcome to The United Field and Retrieving

ARCHIVED INFORMATION WEB PAGE


A gundog's natural instinct is to retrieve. Retrieving Trials provide a perfect avenue for these dogs to express their natural abilities, have fun, and exercise.

Our sport simulates hunting conditions where the dog's ability to retrieve is tested over various terrain and conditions commonly found in hunting scenarios. The dogs retrieve Dokken Dead Fowl Trainers (artificial game) in varied areas, including dams, creeks, thick marsh, or sparse paddocks. Because a gundog's instinct is to retrieve, they revel in the challenge of finding the artificial game. Our sport not only provides a great form of exercise for these dogs but also provides excellent stimulation.

We strive to make our competitions a friendly and social environment where our competitors can have fun competing with their canine companions and enjoy the camaraderie and friendships that develop with people of similar interests.

We hope you enjoy your visit to the UFR Website, and we'll see you at our next UFR Trial.

The aim of a retrieving trial is to test gundogs under conditions as close as possible to those in natural field shooting. Artificial game is used in SSAA retrieving trials for the retrieve.
