Truffles hunting
A timeless tradition, a modern challenge
Rooted in a centuries-old tradition, truffle hunting has long been an art passed down through generations. Originally, truffle hunters relied on trained dogs to navigate dense forests, using their incredible sense of smell to uncover these prized treasures hidden beneath the earth.
Our Truffle Hunting Trials honor this heritage by simulating real-life truffle hunting in the woods, creating an authentic and challenging experience. These competitions are designed to enhance the natural abilities of working truffle dogs while also welcoming newcomers and passionate dogs owners who dream of training their dogs for this incredible skill or just enjoy the thrill of this exciting sport!
Join us and be part of a legendary tradition, where nature, instinct, and teamwork come together in a truly unique challenge!
