“SportDOG Brand® employees and customers have so much in common with Ruffed Grouse Society members that a national-level sponsorship like this just makes sense,” said Lance Tracy, SportDOG Brand® Director. “The RGS has a long and respected history of making a difference, and we’re proud that we can help them achieve their worthwhile goals.”

SportDOG Brand® supports conservation organizations such as the RGS with product donations, in-kind services, and as a forum for furthering the group’s conservation message. Through its support of established conservation organizations, fledgling conservation groups and participation in local “on the ground” habitat improvement projects, to name just a few of its initial commitments, SportDOG Brand® is committed to giving something back to the causes that its customers and employees care about.

Part of SportDOG’s RGS sponsorship involves the donation of a number of its new UplandHunter™ 1850 units, a combination beeper and training system, and DSL-400 beepers, both of which are designed for pointing dogs. The RGS will make these products available for sale or auction at various fundraisers and banquets, with the proceeds being used to further its conservation and education initiatives.

Established in 1961, the Ruffed Grouse Society is headquartered in Coraopolis, Pennsylvania. To find our more about the RGS, visit www.ruffedgrousesociety.org.
