Barn Hunt is an independent sport, but titles are recognized by the American Kennel Club (AKC), the United Kennel Club (UKC), and the Canadian Kennel Club (CKC). To see how to get your title recognized, go to FAQs and About (AKC/UKC/CKC).
Barn Hunt holds rat care at the highest level of consideration. The rats used in Barn Hunt are beloved pets. They jump eagerly into their safe, comfortable aerated tubes and enjoy interacting with the dogs.
We’re a great sport for older dogs, and older people too! Tripod dogs can compete, and so can deaf dogs. We hope you try it, we think you’ll like it!
