North America Diving Dogs - NADD

04/01/2026

Do you do any dog events with your dogs? Racing, lure coursing, fast cats, open field, hunting/hunting tests, barn hunt... the list goes on... Congress is seeking to eliminate them! People cheered when Greyhound racing establishments were shut down, but that was just the beginning of the avalanche and now this verbiage could be the start of the end of events with our dogs.

Please go to this link and submit the formal letter, or write your own. Let them know this bill is not supported. I certainly did.
