SUMMARY OF RULES AND REGULATIONS for PBGVCA Hunting Tests A complete copy of the PBGVCA Rules and Regulations with desirable qualities and faulty actions in hunting PBGVs can be viewed at http://www.pbgvca.org/images/BreedInfo/PBGVCA-Hunt-Rules-6-14-2010.pdf Hunting Tests shall be open to all AKC registered or ILP/PAL registered Petits Bassets Griffons Vendéens of six months of age or over on the first day of the event. Spayed or neutered hounds are eligible for entry. No person acting in the capacity of Hunting Tests Secretary may judge at the event for which that person is acting as Hunting Tests Secretary. Any dog may be entered in a hunt test stake for which it is eligible, however, it must be noted on the supplementary entry form, if an advertised judge, alternate judge or any member of their family has owned, sold, held under license, boarded, trained or handled the dog within one year of the starting date of the Hunt Test, as this person may not judge the hound. For purposes of this Section, the words “any member of his family” shall include a spouse, a sibling, a parent or a child, whether natural or adopted, of the Judge in question, but shall not extend to other blood or legal relationships. At the conclusion of the judging for each test, the club shall provide, for the Judges’ signatures, the Hunting Test Score Sheets for each pack judged, showing full particulars of all dogs judged. Titles are awarded based on application to PBGVCA as defined in the Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen Hunt Tests Rules and Standard Procedures. Purpose: The purpose of Hunting Tests for Petits Bassets Griffons Vendéens is to afford an opportunity to demonstrate an individual hound’s ability to perform in a manner consistent with the demands of actual hunting conditions. Testing in this manner is to gauge the hound’s hunting ability, desirable qualities that indicate ability to be effective and efficient in the pursuit of quarry. Time and Running Order: Running order will be assigned by public "Draw" before the beginning of each test. Packs may be mixed sexes. Bitches in season may not be on the test field. Fees will be refunded for bitches that come in season after the closing date or a substitution may be made. No hounds shall be put down after 30 minutes following official sunset. The Hunting Test Committee and the Judges shall be responsible for enforcement of this Procedure. Marshals: It shall be the duty of one Marshal to assist the Judges and to carry out their instructions, including regulating and controlling the gallery & seeing to it that the gallery is kept separate from and behind the Judges, and that no one in the gallery talks to the Judges while the dogs are down. Other Marshals shall see to it that hounds are ready when called, and assist the Hunting Test Committee in all other matters necessary for the smooth and expeditious running of each Test. Gallery: No person shall make any remarks nor give any information which might affect the actions of the persons handling the hounds or the running of the hounds unless information is specifically requested by the Judges. Any person so offending may be expelled from the running grounds on orders from the Judges, and points of merit shall not be allowed any hound whose handler acts upon such information. The Judges must be informed of any such misconduct before the close of the running of the hound(s) in which it occurs, and their decision shall be final. Handlers: When hounds are cast, a handler may speak, whistle, sound a horn to his hound or work in any way he may deem proper, if not contrary to these Procedures, unless otherwise instructed by the Judges. Hounds must show reasonable obedience to their handler’s commands. Each hound under judgment must wear a different colored hunt collar or stretch band for easy identification by the Judges. The Judges’ evaluation forms will have this collar color and the handler’s last name. (Personal collars worn in addition to the colored hunt collar or stretch band must have a fixed circumference with no hanging tags.) No owner or handler shall have any right to question or refuse to follow the Judges’ orders. Owners and handlers must keep themselves informed as to the running order and progress of the judging and must be ready within hailing distance when their hounds are called by the Marshal on instruction from the Judges. Severe Training or Correction: The Hunting Test Committee and the Judges shall not permit severe disciplining of hounds on any part of the grounds. The Committee shall investigate any reports of such conduct or of any other conduct prejudicial to the best interests of purebred dogs, PBGVCA Hunt Tests, or the American Kennel Club, according to Chapter 6, Section 5 of the Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen Hunt Tests Rules and Standard Procedures.
