Dalmatian Road Trials
Road trials are a Dalmatian specific event which allow Dals to demonstrate
that they still have the coaching instinct for which they were originally
bred. A Road Trial has both an obedience and an endurance component
and can be done with either a mounted or driving handler. Dals are
asked to demonstrate basic obedience, equine savy instinct and physical
fitness. At Woodwynd, we are strong believers that
a dog should be able to do what he was bred to do and look
darn good doing it. We try to offer all as many of our Dals as
possible the chance to demonstrate this skill.
