At the end of each fiscal year, the IHDHoF foundation -- which is made up Lanse, Jimmie, Vicki & Edie -- will meet and determine which who will receive grants from monies processed during that year. IHDHoF contributes monies to various areas of the country for the express purpose of securing and maintaining grounds for hunting dog activities, training and events,  and upkeep of new "dog" areas.

Hunting Land- Lanse is presently working with realtors in Southern Missouri. There are many ideal pieces of property 400-800 acres which would lend themselves to coon hunts, retriever grand master nationals, bird dog nationals, beagle nationals and any other national competition that involves hunting dogs.

A tentative commitment from a 30 year employee of the Missouri Department of Conservation has been made which would provide an on-site manager who not only would live there, but also manage the fields, water and woods. To be a veteran of the Missouri Department of Conservation could be of political help.

So where do we go from here?

Each inductee’s fee will go directly to provide funds for land acquisition.

Once the land has been purchased the maintenance costs and taxes will be paid by the event guide club.

All funds thereafter will be used for veterinary research grants.

 We also support grants to National Schools of Veterinary Medicine for research of cancer, thyroid, bloat, dysplasia, cardio myopathy, muscular myopathy and other diseases or conditions that affect hunting dogs.
