I think this would be a great rule change. I also think that should be the rule for all outside hunts .We have FOXHOUNDS we are at a FOXHOUND field trial not a fox and deer trial.
How many of you have judged on the outside and busted your butt to get to a race and you cant score the hounds because they are running a deer.
I know the biggest concern will be a low number of hounds entered at trials,but maybe we will pick a true FOXHOUND. Anyone who has never been to a broke dog trial needs to attend one.
JUST MY OPINION. GOOD LUCK.

WOW! I C THE TIME CHANGE KEPT SOME OF U UP ALL NIGHT. I'M PROUD OF ALL THE HARD WORK PUT FOURTH BY EVERYBODY, BUT IN THE END I'M GONNA LOAD MINE UP PUSH BUTTONS, POP CAPS, HOOT, HOLLA, RAISE HELL, CATCH FOXES, AND ENJOY MYSELF ON ONE OF THESE OLD COUNTRY DIRT ROADS WITH MY FRIENDS! HAPPY HUNTING TO EVERYONE! POLITICS AINT MY THING.

Well the USO should be able to go back to laurinburg then, 50 dogs shouldn't be a problem

I guess the ones that have doubt could care less if they had a fox dog or a deer dog...I guess you can keep it like it is and have a deer dog champion!!! I am with Matt...rather run and catch cat and fox anyway....I guess since I have never made a dog a field champion there is no need to start now...but it seems like some where in the rules it says if a dog is worthy of being a foxhound champion in there some where...if he runs deer...HECK NO!! Have fun anyway...
