"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.
