Formats - most conservative to less conservative?

[jim matuszewski]

Just a question, the UKC H&H sounds like it's ran a lot like a PKC hunt. Are they close to same?
In our area we mainly have LP hunts and PKC. If you wanna run diff format usually have to travel a bit.

yep pretty much the same without the money

One difference in pkc and ukc hound and hunter is no checks in pkc and in ukc checks are scored all dogs lose 20 after a minute loss and first dog to get track moving again before 3 mins is rewarded there 20 back. After 3 mins track is dead

What format promotes a dog right between Mid-West and UGBF?

PBGA and AHRA PP.....both of these formats have pretty wide variances but for the most part run a strong medium speed dog with control. PBGA runs a closer dog than PP from my limited exposure

What format promotes a dog right between Mid-West and UGBF?

I belong to a club of each style and they are NIGHT and DAY apart. I run midwest style and have a couple buddies run ubgf. I always give them heck that my rabbit is on its 3rd circle and they are STILL on their first 1/2 circle. I'll feed what i like and they do the same. we rib one another about their slow dogs and my fast ones.

mybeagles,
Do you know if the Monroe Toledo beagle club is PBGA?

[mybeagles]

SGC,

All the PBGA clubs are in PA. Monroe is PBGA. I think Toledo is different club. That would be UBGF

Thanks for all the info. We( me and my 12yr old)went to our first trial a few weeks ago and it was an Midwest and we loved it the dogs we watched were our speed and style we run anyway. We are going to run a pup in a derby in a couple weeks.

Some of you are painting this picture with an awfully wide brush. I know several people who run 4 formats with the same dog(s) LP, UKC PP,NHBA and Midwest. And they are successful at each
