Providing Competitive Hunting Opportunities to Bird Hunters Nationwide
The North American Gun Dog Association (NAGDA) provides bird dog owners the opportunity to improve their hunting skills and develop the instinctive abilities of their four-legged partners. NAGDA welcomes hunters from all walks of life and encourages participation by men and women of all ages and dogs of all skill levels. A total of nine divisions allow hunters to compete at a level suited to both themselves and their dogs, and encourages youth participation as a means of educating today's up-and-comers about safe hunting practices in a fun and competitive environment.
Sanctioned NAGDA events are held across the country at affiliated hunt club year-round, with Nationals being held at the beginning of April every year.
