What Trial Events does everyone like to take part in?
North American Gun Dog Association...it's founded in CO, by Mike Hatfield. Website addresss is www.nagdog.com . I don't have any trials in my area, but it looks pretty interesting!
We have run Rusti in AKC Hunt Tests, NAVHDA, and AKC Puppy Walking Trials.
Staci is currently on the AKC Field Trial Circuit and is being run by a pro. We have seen her first Puppy Trial and hopefully this fall we will get to see some of the Open Gun Dog Trials that she will run in. She is way too big a runner for us to see much, however, my husband likes to ride in the gallery. I usually get to see her at the start and at the finish.

United Field Trialer's Association (UFTA) nobody at the top making money, all volunteer board, rules changes are voted on once a year and any member can vote, scored not judged so reduced personal opinion, all membership and sanctioning fees go towards the purse at the Nationals, local trials for Ch points, DOY points, and plaques so cheaper and less pressured, single dog in the field (except doubles teams) so race against clock and conditions not another dog, consistency (two runs totaled) required in Open Division
