All About HRAD

Hudson River Air Dogs- HRAD

Our Journey at Hudson River Air Dogs

We at Hudson River Air Dogs are a group of people who love the sport, our families, and our dogs. In 2015 a group of passionate dock diving families got together to form a new club. When it came to choosing an organization to be affiliated with, Ultimate Air Dogs was the clear choice. With the help of Milt Wilcox, and the generous spirit of so many, we were able to begin. We are a 501c7- Not-for-Profit organization. We have a dock and pool set up so members can enjoy practicing, and competing, while keeping it as affordable as possible.

We warmly invite you to join our growing family of Hudson River Air Dogs
