On Sunday, March 22, 2026, the Delaware Valley Bird Dog Club held its fifth trial. This trial was run on several locations through State Game Lands 127. Handlers and dogs performed throughout partly cloudy skies and temperatures from 40 to 50 degrees.
Throughout the day, 16 woodcock were moved on nine braces. All dogs, along with their handlers, completed their braces until the judges' call of stoppage due to time.

We would like to thank all those who came and participated in this trial and assisted with the foundation of the trial, course development, traveling from course to course, and participating. Things were running very smoothly, and we are looking forward to holding this trial again next year.
