NAHRA

The North American Hunting Retriever Association (NAHRA) preserves the heritage of hunting with retrievers and conserving upland and waterfowl game by developing trained hunting dogs.

Through performance-based Field Tests, NAHRA evaluates retrievers against defined standards—not against each other—to recognize dogs that meet real hunting needs. Dogs earn titles at different performance levels and some are invited to participate in Regional Events and the NAHRA Invitational. NAHRA fosters a strong sense of community, encouraging families to participate, enjoy the outdoors, and celebrate their dogs’ achievements together!
