Truffle Training Day
Saturday, 29 November
Conford, Hampshire
We’re delighted that Daniele Noris is travelling to the UK for the weekend of 29th and 30th November. The Saturday is a training day for Lagotto (and their owners, of course!).
The day comprises our presentation “Truffles, Truffle Dogs and Truffle Hunting”, interspersed with hands-on training starting from a complete introduction to truffles and moving on into the woodland searching for truffles that we will have hidden and buried. Daniele’s experienced truffle dog, Fata, will be on hand to demonstrate how it is done! A light lunch and an early supper is included.
Numbers are limited and pre-booking/pre-payment are required to secure your place. Details available via the link below:
Sunday, 30th is a Truffle Test judged by Daniele for dogs with some experience, with rules based on some of the Italian breed club’s standards. Details will be posted below once finalised…
