Welcome to the 2025 NEAA National Website

We hope that you will “Join the Hunt” for fun, education, and friendship at Purina Farms
in Gray Summit, MO June 9-14,2025.

This website is your go-to-location for all information regarding this year’s National.
Please check in here often, as information will be updated as needed between now and
the National Specialty week.

This year we will be adding some new events. A Breeder showcase event will give us a
chance to learn about other breeding programs, stud dogs, pedigrees, frozen semen.
Elkies will be available for a closer look. Please see the Breeder Showcase tab in the
Detail section of this site.

We also hope that you will join us in remembering those
dogs, owners and breeders who have gone before us by participating in the NEAA
Luminary Walk.

A candlelit Luminary accompanied by photo and dedication will be
displayed during the week for a time of reflection. For more information, please see the
Luminary Tab in the Detail section of this site.

This year, the Best of the Best competition will include a Peoples Choice award in
addition to our Best of the Best judging award. We hope you will all join us at the event
to cast your vote!

I would like to personally thank our committee people for all your hard work in putting
this event together. It truly takes a village!

See you all in June!
Debbie Walker
NEAA President
