2025 Hall of Fame Nominations Requested

2025 Hall of Fame Nominations Requested

2025 Hall of Fame Nominations

The Hall of Fame committee is once again seeking your nominations for Hall of Fame inductees for Houndsmen/women, running hounds, sires, dams, etc.

Deadline for nominations is January 21, 2025.

Let's all do this---For the Foxhunter (Houndsmen/women), you’re welcome to nominate living and deceased to be considered by the selection committee.

The committee will require that each nomination you make for Houndsmen/women, running hounds, sires, dams, greatest crosses, etc., include “Facts” and information that the explain what that individual accomplished and did to deserve to be considered for Hall of Fame induction.

Examples of the information we’re seeking includes:
a. What involvement did the individual have with organizing field trial associations, what accomplishments have they made judging, what champions have they made, what crosses have they made, what have they done to support the Masters or National organizations, participating on oversite committee’s, etc.
b. What championships did a hound win or what trials did they place in. What offspring have they produced to carry on their bloodline. What made that particular hound great, etc.

Note- Simply, stating a person was funny or a nice person or gave you your first hound or entered field trials every week somewhere does not provide adequate information for the committee to consider as “Hall of Fame” worthy.

The information you provide will assist and help the selection committee in making the final decisions for 2025.

Below, for your review is the complete list of Hall of Fame Inductees through 2024, so repeat nominations of inductees can be avoided.
