About The Club

Gudbrandsdal Fuglehundklubb was founded in 1997. This happened when Ottadalen Fuglehundklubb decided to expand the club’s catchment area, and focus on getting members from the southern part of Gudbrandsdalen as well.

Ottadalen Fuglehundklubb was founded in 1987, and the first elected chairman was Ole Jonny Runningen. Åge Dalheim, Bjørn Bjørgen and Knut Sørli were among the driving forces behind starting the club. Since then, these enthusiasts have held the position of leaders in Ottadalen and Gudbrandsdal Fuglehundklubb: Halvor Romstad, Arne Hovde, Magnar Steen, Hans Arne Nielsen,, John Petter Teigen, Arne Olav Kleiven, Bjørn Bjørgen, Solfrid Aateigen Ulen, Kjersti Reksen and Håvard Otto Rudi. Today, Torfinn Stenersen is the leader of the club.

Over the years, the club has organized many hunting trials and exhibitions, as well as club trials in clay pigeon shooting, retrieving, pigeon cups and hunting trials.

As of today, the club organizes three hunting trials and an exhibition a year as regular events. There is an autumn trial in the high mountains and forest, as well as a winter trial in the high mountains. The high mountains trials are better known as the Sjodal trials.
