Barn Hunt Regionals

Regional competitions are a way for dogs to be able to earn Byes (reserved spots) for entry into the Barn Hunt National each year.

Dogs compete in Hurdles, Team, and four rounds of Senior or Master courses over three days.

Regionals are open to any and all dogs with an Open title (RATO) or above. Dogs are not required to compete in a Regional to attend a National, and dogs may enter a Regional competition even if they will not be able to attend the National. Regionals will be the only opportunity for official competition in Team and Hurdles other than at the National.

Regional medals and placements will be offered, and a special Regional Q ribbon for every dog that qualifies!
