Gueydan Duck Festival Dog Trials

As any hunter can attest, it is often not the shooting skills of the hunter but the ability and skills of man's best friend that determines whether or not the hunt is successful. A well trained dog can make even the worst hunt successful by finding those lost or wounded birds that the hunter cannot. To showcase these wonderful dogs, the Duck Festival will hold the Hunting Dog Trials on Saturday, August 28^th, 2010 North of the Old Duck Festival Park in Gueydan. Event chairman, Kip Overly, has set the registration for 8:00am with the start set for 9:00am.

There will be three categories: starter, seasoned and finished. Trophies will be awarded for first, second, third and fourth in all categories with ribbons being presented to all dogs which complete the test.
