The American Kennel Club (AKC) is monitoring a proposal by the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department that, in part, seeks to update Fis Chapter 814 regarding Field Trials. If adopted as proposed, Fis Section 814.03 – Field Trials Application Form, would be simplified to update the form’s date, provide a link to the form on the department’s website, and remove an enumerated list of information that appears on the form. It also clarifies that the permit fee (unchanged at $9.50) must be paid at the time the Field Trials Application Form is submitted to the department.
The proposed changes are available at https://gc.nh.gov/rules/register/2025/1224/2025-297%20IP%20Rule%20Fis%20801-815.pdf (pages 67-69).
Written comments to NH Fish and Game may be emailed to comments@wildlife.nh.gov before Thursday, January 22, 2026.
