It has been brought to our attention that there is some false information circulating and we want to make this perfectly clear:
A **Voluntary TIER 2 Membership Purchase** is exactly that — voluntary.
No one is required to purchase a paid membership tier to use the core benefits included with the **free TIER 1 Website Membership**.
The **TIER 1 Free Website Membership** is available at no cost to handlers, breeders, and dog owners, and includes access to:
• Handler & Breeder License ID Badge
• List of owned dogs
• Dog profiles for every dog owned
• Dog points summaries
• Lifetime points and earnings
• Hunt results
• Shared dog profiles, when shared by the dog’s owner
• Shared dog points, earnings, titles summary, and online pedigree
• Pending registrations with registration updates
• New Online Pedigree System
• 5 Online Pedigree views per day
• Online Pedigree Photo Manager
• Breeder Dashboard
• Puppy paper downloads
• Past litter records
• General dog and owner search
• Handler and breeder license search
• SQ Series enrollment verification
• Search hunt results
• Other helpful NSD account tools and resources
*** All points races / standings are open for public view ***
The TIER 2 Membership is an optional paid package that provides access to additional information and features beyond the free membership.
If the additional information included in the package is not worth $100 per year to you, that is completely fine. You simply have the option not to purchase it while still enjoying all the benefits available through the free TIER 1 Website Membership.
We appreciate everyone’s support and want to make sure the facts are clear.
**************
Here is what the Tier 2 Website Membership offers!
Take your NSD membership to the next level with expanded website tools designed to help you manage, research, share, and promote your dogs with ease.
Tier 2 includes everything in Tier 1, plus additional access for members who want more information at their fingertips, more ways to promote their dogs, and more tools to stay current with NSD features and rules.
What’s Included
Dog Stats Access
View available stats for every dog you own directly from your dog list by selecting the View Stats link. This gives you quick access to important information connected to your dogs.
Hunt Records Access
Review hunt records for every dog you own by selecting the Hunt Records link in your dog list. Tier 2 makes it easier to track and review each dog’s hunt history in one convenient place.
Dog Sharing
Share your dogs with other NSD members, including Free members. Members can view dogs that are shared with them, while stats and hunt records remain available only to members with a Tier 2 website membership or higher.
Online Pedigree System
Tier 2 members receive 25 views per day on the NSD Online Pedigree System, giving you expanded access to research pedigrees and review important breeding information.
Advanced Search Tools
Unlock advanced search options, including Offspring Champion Searches to see how many champions a dog has produced. Tier 2 also includes access to Breeder, Sire, Dam Points and Earnings Searches, Sire & Dam Power Rankings, and Offspring Stats, giving members more powerful tools for research and evaluation.
NSD Advertisement Listing
Tier 2 includes 1 ad listing on the NSD Advertisement System. Your ad may be used for a Breeder/Kennel Listing, Stud Dog Listing, or Puppy Listing.
Your advertisement will be linked to all dashboards and may be edited, deleted, or replaced anytime during your active Tier 2 membership. Ads are removed when the membership ends.
SQ Hunt Audio Rulebook
Tier 2 members receive access to the SQ Hunt Audio Rulebook, making it easy to stay current on NSD hunt rules, updates, and expectations while at home, on the road, or on the go.
Built for More Access
Tier 2 Website Membership is built for members who want more control, more information, and more ways to stay connected with their dogs, records, research tools, advertisements, and NSD rules.
