                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

PERMITS FOR FIELD TRIALS (§ 29.1-422)

The Board is authorized to grant permits to bona fide field trial clubs and
associations to hold field trials with dogs under such regulations it deems
proper. The fee established by the Board for a field trial permit shall be an
amount sufficient to defray the costs of processing the permit and administering
the permitted activity, but shall not exceed twenty-five dollars per event. It
shall be unlawful to hold such trials without the permit herein authorized
during the closed season for game. If wild game is to be shot over or in front
of dogs engaged in such field trials, the person actually shooting must have a
license permitting him to do so.
		Captive birds of any species released and immediately shot or recovered during
such trials shall not be considered to be wild birds under this chapter or §
29.1-521.
