Northwest Test

Breed Testing Events

Coming to a test is a great way to see our dogs, learn about our breeding and testing program, and determine if you would like to get a dog and become part of the action. Visitors are welcome to view the test. If you are already a member, please consider attending and volunteering too! Our test site is located at at 840 Cinebar Road, Silver Creek, Washington (20 miles east of Chehalis). We are most grateful to Larry and Nancy Mason for the use of their property. The quality of the water, fields, and woods and their proximity to each other makes this an excellent place to test dogs at all levels. We also use this test site for exposure and training days.

We have generally been sharing testing events with the Rocky Mountain Chapter; spring tests are conducted in Idaho with the Rocky Mountain group and we hold the Fall test in Washington.

Next Scheduled Test: Sept 7 & 8, 2019 (Saturday and Sunday 8:00 AM)
