The ABB trials follow, starting with Novice judged by Steve Wain,
on Monday 26th March, at Irby-upon-Humber, North Lincolnshire.

Sadly the Autumn trials had to be cancelled because of the threat of Foot and Mouth Disease.
Meanwhile multi-breed Clean Boot trials were held in Belgium, judged by Tim Foulger, and the Netherlands Bloodhound Club held their trials in October with judges from England; Mrs Sue Wheeler and Mrs Jo Franks.

The Bloodhound Club Autumn Trials were to be held in the first week of October, near Canterbury in Kent.
However, after the Schedules had been posted to the usual competitors, the outbreak of Foot and Mouth Disease
in Surrey scuffered plans, and these trials had to be cancelled.
Fortunately the Kelperland Trophy Stake, was able to go ahead,
with the hounds that qualified at the Spring trials.
This was judged by Peter Brown, on 25th November, at St. Leonards, Buckinghamshire.
The Kelperland Trophy 2007 was won by
Robertson's Trailfinder Endearing by Floralis, ( handled by Alan Taylor).
 
The first Bloodhound Club trials event of 2007 was to be the Millvery Trophy Stake,
held on 28th January, and judged by Jo Franks.
The trophy was not awarded.
