Cover Dog Trials
Episode 53
Wednesday, 19 February, 2025

Professional handler and trainer Tammy Chaffee of Pioneer Kennels joins me to talk about Cover Dog trials. These are unique walking field trials run on wild grouse and woodcock under UKC/American Field rules. In this episode, we explore how these trials differ from traditional horseback trials with pen-raised birds, what judges are looking for, and the unpredictable challenges of working in thick cover. You can get in touch with Tammy via her Pioneer Kennels Facebook page. For more information about Cover Dog trials, check out the Cover Dog Field Trial Message Board or the Cover Dogs Facebook group. The Accidental Bird Dog Podcast is sponsored by OnX Hunt and Boss Shotshells. We are part of the HerUpland Podcast Network.
