The Crown Championship provides a retriever (a dog) and handler to develop the best all-around team by managing hunt tests, field trials and hunt savvy situations in an outdoor competitive format. The competition exclusively uses an artificial or simulated bird. This exclusivity allows all dogs and handlers a chance for consistency and equality during testing and hunting scenarios.
