Leatherstocking Hunting Retriever Association

Leatherstocking Hunting Retriever Association "Conservation of game through the development of trained retrievers" Tests are designed to simulate a day's hunt in the field.

The NAHRA concept is based solely on simulating real hunting situations, both upland hunting and waterfowling. The purpose is not to confront the dog with trick problems, but rather to test the dog's natural ability and acquired training. Under the NAHRA concept, the objective is to recover the bird as quickly and efficiently as possible, to create the least amount of disturbance in the marsh and

field and to give the hunter the maximum amount of time to actually take game. Dogs are placed in five categories based on ability not age: Beginner, Started, Hunter, Intermediate, and Senior. Dogs do not compete against one another for placements, but rather their performances are judged individually against a "standard."
