Event Process

The Colonial Bloodhound Club (CBC) encourages its members to engage in Bloodhound related events and activities that can be enjoyed by all. CBC members can request approval to hold any of the events currently available to the American Bloodhound Club (ABC). Scent Work was recently added to the list of ABC events available to the CBC. All CBC sanctioned events or trailing trails hosted in the Northeastern area will require approval by the CBC Board prior to being submitted to the ABC Event Coordinating Committee.

CBC events will adhere to the Events Planning practices of the ABC. www.americanbloodhoundclub.org Events proposed after the stated deadlines may be denied.
