If you're like me, you're always looking for a new and fun challenge to take on with your dogs to try and extend the hunting season. One of the first people I met in the dog world, Brandon Tarquinio, invited me up to Kentucky to check out the UFTA's (United Field Trial Association) National trials. I had a blast and will definitely be participating at some events down the road!
