The club has become involved in a new dog sport, Barn Hunt.
We passed our requirements and are considered a Barn Hunt club with the Barn Hunt Association.

The weather has finally broken and we are ready to do our outdoor barn hunt sessions.  The first session will be Friday, May 4 at 6 PM.  There are two outdoor rings, a smaller ring for Instinct and Novice and a larger ring for Open, Advanced and Masters.  Practices in the smaller ring will be directed with help offered for training your dog to this sport.  Practices in the larger ring will be self directed for those who are already past the Novice level and want practice at the higher levels. 
In case of rain, there will be a Novice ring set up inside the barn.  Go to Roseland Barn Hunt on Facebook for notices on the practice sessions and other offerings.  Or contact Kris by phone or at roselandfarm@aol.com if you do not use facebook.

In addition, private sessions will also be offered.  Contact Kris Fletcher by phone (585-747-3482), on the Roseland Barn Hunt Facebook page or via email at roselandfarm@aol.com for arrangements, pricing, etc.

 

Here are pictures of the four rats who were doing the GVKC Barn Hunt Practices in 2017.  Two of them developed mammary tumors and crossed the rat rainbow bridge early in 2017.  But we acquired more rats and our total to date is 9 females.
