The Spokane Bird Dog Association (SBDA) was founded in 1974 to support members in training their own bird dogs. We're an organization of bird dog enthusiasts who believe that one of the most cherished relationships is between a person and his or her dog. We further believe that hunting is an American Heritage to be enjoyed as much by our grandchildren as by our grandparents. The SBDA is for any bird dog enthusiast. We welcome pointer, flusher and retriever owners alike, as well as individuals who share our interests and values, but may not own a dog at the present time. We are of the firm belief that the use of a "trained" hunting dog conserves game by bringing all downed game to the hunter's bag. We understand the importance of habitat and therefore are involved in conservation efforts such as building, distributing and maintaining bird feeders and planting habitat for all wildlife populations. Membership is comprised of people who own pointing and/or retrieving breeds. Many of our members also participate in the following organizations: AKC Field Trials, North American Hunting Retriever Association, Canadian Kennel Club, American Kennel Club, National Shoot to Retrieve Association, Ducks Unlimited, and Pheasants Forever.
