Barn Hunt is a newer sport in which dogs hunt for rats hiding in tubes hidden in a lot of hay bales. There are decoy tubes too that don't have rats, but do have rat litter. While the is not a traditional sport for swissies, our dogs all love this game. We are very lucky to have a training and trial location (Lucky Dog Events, New Salem, MA) very close by to our house, so we attend more barn hunts that we would if we had to travel far.
As of the beginning of 2023, Helix is the only swissy with a Senior title, Helix and Arty are 2 of 7 with Open titles and we hold 20% of the Novice titles in our breed.
