INVOLVEMENT

We make sure our voices are heard through legislation, in local sportsmen’s clubs, fish and game meetings, and make time to volunteer.

APPEARANCE

We promote the idea that dog hunters should present themselves in a way that is ethical, respectful of other public land users, and contrary to the negative stereotypes of hunting.

EDUCATION

We mentor new sportsmen and women and advocate for youth hunting education and involvement with working dogs.

RESPECT

We leave lasting impressions after every interaction. It’s up to us to create positive reputations and rapport around hunting with our four-legged best friends.

 

NEVADA SPORTING DOG ALLIANCE’S MISSION

We are committed to being stewards of our wild places while ensuring safety and care of our dogs. In each hunting or training situation, we ensure that our dogs are safe while putting the least amount of stress possible on the pursued game.

We are firm believers in ethical discernment of harvest game to better populations as a whole. We leave our public lands better than how we find them which means…

• We are friendly with campers and hikers and others who enjoy our public lands

• We pick up trash • We drive respectfully

 A WAY OF LIFE

Originally formed in 2015, the Nevada Sporting Dog Alliance was founded to give a strong and unified voice for the broader community of sporting dog enthusiasts. We saw the need for better representation of all sporting dog owners at venues such as the State Legislature, Wildlife Commission, and County Advisory Boards, not to mention among the general public and in the media.

We work to protect the heritage of sporting dogs by engaging with decision makers and stakeholders; we defend the tradition of sporting dogs by promoting public education through transparent, honest, and informational media; and we celebrate the passion of sporting dogs and their handlers by partnering with other canine groups, communities, and agencies, both public and private, in order to foster a favorable public opinion on the use of sporting dogs, especially for hunting and conservation.

Dogs have always been involved in my outdoor adventures and it’s my passion in life.
— JASON GRAHAM, PRESIDENT
I was always amazed at how having a dog along changed the hunt - not just in the amount of success but in the overall experience of the hunt.
— JONATHAN LESPERANCE, VICE PRESIDENT
I hope to educate people about our dogs and dispel the misconceptions that our hounds are tools – my hounds are my family.
— JOE CRAWFORD, TREASURER
We aim to stand up for the amazing bond we share with our canine companions.
— BECKY COUTURE, SECRETARY
