North American Ring Association

Welcome North American Ring Sport! You’ll see awesome jumping, complex obedience, and a hair-raising duel of speed, courage, and wits between decoy and dog. This sport has been evolving into its present form in France for just about one century. Introduced to North America in 1986, it has been attracting a great deal in interest in the sport dog community. There are an ever-growing number of trials giving club. The North American Ring Sport Association (N.A.R.A.) is the governing organization and maintains a liaison with the parent French organization which operates under the auspices of the S.C.C (Societe Centrale Canine), the French equivalent of the AKC. Titles earned here are recognized internationally. Recognized trials are now offered in several countries, including Mexico, Canada, and other places.
