The purpose is to invite members and prospective members to meet and work with their dogs. It is an introduction to resources available in ABDA.  This is a great opportunity to see different breeds of pointing dogs and flushing dogs. If you are considering a new dog or puppy, this event may help you find the breed you like. You will see what can be expected of finished dogs of all breeds.

Provide an opportunity for people to work their dogs on live birds.

Provide examples of hunt test event requirements with dogs in the field.

Provide potential for training discussions, demonstrations, and developing mentorship for dog handling.

Conduct a mock junior hunt test for pointing breeds.
