Field Trial Hall of Fame - 2026 Endorsements

The Field Trial Hall of Fame was established in 1954, and since then, deserving dogs and worthy field trial personalities have been elected and honored.

There are two categories of candidates -- Dogs and Persons -- and for each, a primary focus is contributions to the sport. For Dogs, the win record is significant, not just the number of wins but primarily the quality of the wins. Production record is also important, i.e., winners produced and the quality of the wins of the Dog's offspring. On occasion, a Dog has been elected to the Field Trial Hall of Fame on the merits of one of these aspects: a win record of outstanding achievement or winners produced, contributing greatly to the quality of competition.

Insofar as Persons, contributions to the sport beyond statistics, and over a lengthy period of time, all while exhibiting integrity, sportsmanship, and character. Contributions may span several facets: club official, judge, breeder, owner, handler, reporter, landowner, patron of the sport, and usually a combination of these roles. An eligible endorsee may be living or dead; if living, they must also be at least 64 years of age. In essence, the sport was made better by their participation.
