I know it probabally will never happen but for those that are competing in the HRC HT venues wouldn't it be cool to see a FT category recognized on the pedigree or more importantly run another "sanctioned" event

I've noticed that alot of HRC clubs are holding NAFRA test any way

BTW... don't fire up that darn bus this for disdussion only

 

[BIG DOG]

for those that said No why? and for those that said yes why are you for it

 

[2blackdogs]

I voted yes. I don't have a strong feeling either way but would like to see NAFRA associated with a registry, which UKC would provide. In the upper leavels of NAFRA it takes a quality well trained dog to earn a Master or open title. I think the titles would take on much more meaning if they could be added to a pedigree. I think that would help NAFRA grow the number of entries in their events. I'm only able to run so many events per year and I feel I need to (want to) put titles on my females that can show on their pedigrees. If something were put together with the UKC I would take more interest in running NAFRA tests. The founding club is only 1 hour from my front door. I've been to one of their test as a judge and liked the rules and format very much.

I agree and that is why I posted the poll, I have been really suprised at the number of no's as well.

I think it would help the UKC with registration#'s and might pull in some of the FT crowd in and help the NAFRA #'s as well.

NFRA has it?s own registry. Titles are included on the pedigree. Check out this example for my dog Chili:

UKC/HRC's claim to fame is a non competitive testing system and the orgs roots are based on seperation from the trial game. Why cloud over that with anything even remotely competition oriented?

Richard I understand that but I can print a a pedigree on some fancy paper w/ fancy borders, point is they are only recognized by 1 organization and that is NAFRA

Peke no one said a UKC registered retriever "must" compete in NAFRA event just another venue where your accomplishments would be Nationaly recognized

Ken I guess the AKC is cheating on its FT wife since he has HT hidden on the other side

 

[Ken Newcomb]

I think thereis a bigger difference in FT and HT then there is in NAFRA and HRC.

Big Dog,

The NFRA recognizes the titles from other organizations. If you look at Chili?s NFRA pedigree you?ll see AKC qualified all-age included and NAHRA?s grand master hunting retriever title included. If he had a HRC title that would be included also.

The NFRA cannot control what other organizations recognize. It just made sense to us to recognize all the dog?s accomplishments.

I couldn't get the page open Richard

point is there are a couple of us in our club are interested in the NAFRA but are having a hard time selling the idea to other club members

I am asumng they are thinking we are talking about NAHRA

 

[Peake]

Peake no one said a UKC registered retriever "must" compete in NAFRA event just another venue where your accomplishments would be Nationaly recognized

Good I didn't read/post "must" either. Again given UKC/HRC's origin it's the principle of not being associated with any venue competitive in nature even just under the same registry.

Big Dog,

The NFRA recognizes the titles from other organizations. If you look at Chili’s NFRA pedigree you’ll see AKC qualified all-age included and NAHRA’s grand master hunting retriever title included. If he had a HRC title that would be included also.

The NFRA cannot control what other organizations recognize. It just made sense to us to recognize all the dog’s accomplishments.

I agree with Richard. It would be nice if more people listed with NFRA (myself included). They allow for ALL titles and you have the option of pictures too. I will have my dogs soon.

Chili is a perfect example of a dog (and handler) that loves competing. They are blind to the boundaries of any one organization and venue. They do well in ALL! Good luck at the WRC. Add another title to Chili's collection.

Sorry Chris A for the confusion. I thought Chris Payne might have had something to do with it. Whoever set up RTF did an awsome job. Can't wait to see the "new"RTF!
