The 2026 Field Trial Specialty will be held on the Western Kentucky Wildlife Area in Grahamville Kentucky, September 22-24, 2026. The Wildlife Area is a premier Retriever Training area near Paducah, KY and is the area used for many field trial, hunt tests, and HRC events including THREE National Retriever Championships (including 2026), Master Hunt Tests, and HRC Grands. To enter the event and preview the premium, we will be using Entry Express<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

In addition to the NFTS, there is an all-breed field trial on the grounds Thursday-Saturday prior to the Specialty and several all-breed trials within driving distance the weekend following the Specialty. All these events will be listed on Entry Express<\/a>.<\/p>

Training areas prior to the NFTS are being solicited and will also be listed as they become identified.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t

We hope to see you all in Kentucky!<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
