The ARHA-NKC is the fastest growing registry and field trial association for rabbit hounds in America.  With 170  Clubs Nationwide, the ARHA-NKC sanctions field trials for Beagles.  All beagles are eligible for registry with the ARHA-NKC. Our field trials are divided into divisions which feature all the different running styles of rabbit hounds.  Fast tracking hounds compete in Little Pack and Big Pack.  Medium speed hounds compete in Progressive Pack, and the tighter line-control hounds compete in Gundog Pack and Gundog Brace.  We also have bench competitions at our hunts which are judged on the hound's conformation to the breed standard.

The NKC/ARHA will not tolerate any form of animal abuse.  If you mistreat your dog , (which includes dog fighting) the National Kennel club will contact the proper authorities and the owner of the dog will be ban for life.
