Welcome to the UFTA

Founded in 2001 by a dedicated group of field trialers and bird dog enthusiasts, The United Field Trialer's Association provides a competitive venue for field trial competitors who appreciate having a fair and consistent system for measuring a dog's performance. UFTA's scoring system for field events eliminates bias on the part of the judges and focuses on the dog and handler's ability to locate and harvest birds in a safe and sportsmanlike manner.

If you have questions or comments, please contact us at Toby & Stephanie Trivett, 494 Stonebridge Lane, Todd, NC 28684 or [email protected] for questions or if we can help in any way. Or call us at 336-620-2644

Thank You
