2025 K9 Challenge
Join us for the annual HDPK9A K9 Challenge located at Delta High School.
The K9 Challenge is a friendly competition between K9 teams from Colorado, Utah and Wyoming. Admission is free to everyone, we just kindly ask you leave your dogs at home!
High Desert K9 Association is a non profit offering training and certification for K9 teams. Through donations, HDPK9A is able to offer training to members that may not be able to attend otherwise due to costs. Most importantly, HDPK9 raises funds for retired K9’s medical fees. When a K9 retires, medical fees acquired are now the expenses of the handler.
Are you interested in donating to HDPK9? Send us a message!
We’re excited to see everyone at the 2025 K9 challenge in Delta, Colorado!
2024 High Desert Police K9 Challenge
This year the High Desert Police K9 Challenge is being held in Craig, CO and being hosted by the City of Craig and Craig Police Department. This challenge is the associations way of raising money for our retired K9’s medical fund but also to send our trainers to smaller departments for their handlers to stay current on training standards and to host a regional training for our handlers to learn new techniques and sharpen their skills with their K9’s.
You can purchase raffle tickets from the handlers or you can purchase tickets through the link on our News and Events page! Stay Tuned for further information!
