Our inaugural North American Sport Dog Association Trial
GBAEC is pleased to announce approval for our inaugural North American Sport Dog Association Trial on April 25-26!
The North American Sport Dog Association (NASDA) was formed in 2016 to demonstrate the breadth of a dog's olfactory abilities. Trials are designed to resemble both historic working and competitive field work as closely as possible. NASDA Working Dog Trials offer an opportunity for all dogs to engage in scent games previously open to only a select few breeds and working dogs. Competing teams can get titles and championships that showcase their merits and abilities within hunt and search situations.
Many dogs can earn titles in some or all level 1 classes in one weekend!
Entries are open! See the EVENTS PAGE for the premium.
You do need a NASDA number to play. It is a one time registration! Click the button below to register your dog with NASDA.
Come try Earthdog!
Each month from May to August, GBAEC holds a training day from 9 - 1 at our site in Gardner, MA.
AKC eligible breeds for earthdog are generally the smaller terriers, miniature schnauzers, dachshunds and min pins that can fit in the 9" x 9” tunnels.
Check out the Events page for our training dates and the form to sign up. The form is open the week before each training session.
If you have any questions about training, please contact Kate Pfluke.
