About Us

* Conservation of game through the development of trained retrievers.

* Founded in 1983, NAHRA is the first organization dedicated to preserving the skills of a hunting retriever.

* NAHRA originated the use of "standards" to test retriever skills using realistic hunting scenarios.

* Dogs compete against a set of standards set forth in our rule book, not each other.

* Advanced titles require dogs to demonstrate proficiency in both upland and waterfowl work.

* Field tests are realistic, simulated hunting scenarios, with distances and conditions that hunters would encounter in the field.

* NAHRA has affiliated clubs throughout the U.S. and Canada. Find a Club.
