"Just so it was purposed that the Field Trial Hall of Fame would be a firmly established institution, and that only dogs and people who had earned the right unequivocally would receive the deserved distinction of being voted into the 'Hall of Fame.'"
-- William F. Brown, Editor of the American Field, announcing the Hall of Fame, June, 1954

The endorsement period for the Field Trial Hall of Fame is now open.

This is an opportunity for members of the field trial community to help recognize the dogs and individuals whose accomplishments, dedication, and service have left a lasting impact on the sport. Eligible candidates include dogs, handlers, owners, breeders, judges, and other contributors whose efforts have helped shape the history and future of field trials.
