| Barn Hunt A new-ish dog sport and we're trying it this coming weekend! Yay. Barn Hunt Association LLC | The sport for vermin hunting dogs of all sizes Anyone else heard of it or tried it yet? I'm hoping to get Jackson his RATI (Instinct) title this weekend. Then there's another trial in October where we'll go for the next step.

| I've never heard of it, but it sounds interesting. Will be checking up to see how it goes for the two of you this weekend.

| What a great idea! Bailey loves to fetch a leather glove I have for him and he shakes it feverishly as if it is a rat! I often thought it would be great for him to use his instincts on live rats I've seen it on tv and Yorkies sure get the job done... and quick! |

| That would perfect for my parents jack mix, he is always catching rats in their garage and shaking them to death |

| We've done it but only fun tests. Haven't actually competed yet. The dogs seem to really enjoy it. |

| A member in my agility class does it and I am planning on trying as soon as we can get an opprotunity. So far, it hasn't come to my area, but I think there will be a workshop next year that we'll be attending, for sure. I'm really eager to try this sport. I think a Yorkie in Barn Hunt will be like a Border Collie in Agility!

| I just looked at the calendar. I wish there were some closer to me as I KNOW my boys would really get into it, especially Ricky. Boy~this would be something really fun to start around our area. There are lots of barns here in Michigan to play in!! Last edited by theporkieyorkie; 09-23-2013 at 11:34 AM. |
