DEFINITION OF LICENSED HUNTS

Regular licensed hunt: A UKC regular licensed event hosted by an approved UKC/HRC Club. All three categories (Started, Seasoned and Finished) must be offered at every regular licensed hunt other than the International Grand Hunt. The three categories will be run simultaneously. These tests range from the Started Hunt Test, which is the least complex in testing; to the Seasoned, a slightly more difficult category; to the Finished Hunt Test, which is considered by far the most demanding of these three tests. The Finished category requires the hunting retriever to prove ability, skill, natural
instinct, tenacity and control.

An HRC Club may host a UKC licensed Upland Hunt test(s) in one of three ways: a. with its regularly scheduled licensed hunt; b. on a different day as a separate licensed event; or c. on a different day from a separate licensed event, hosting two Upland Hunts in one day.
