Abstract:

Bird dog field trials date back to 1874. The purpose is the promotion and development of high-class bird dogs through competition. Mallicoat describes the National Open Shooting Dog trails held at the J. Robert Gordon Sandhills Field Trial Grounds. The grounds, which consist of 9,000 acres of the 55,000-acre Sandhills Game Land, are considered to be one of the finest facilities of its type.
