Description: Our Chapter was formed in 1998 by a group of individuals seeking to work together to promote the versatile hunting dog as a hunting partner. Over the years we have grown into a diverse, but close-knit group, of versatile hunting dog owners and breeders. Our Members have a variety of hunting dog-related interests and participate in many hunting dog-related activities, including the JGHV, VHDF, field trials, blood tracking, obedience trials, AKC Rally, AKC Tracking, and a variety of Breed Clubs.

The North American Versatile Hunting Dog Association (NAVHDA) is a legally recognized non-profit organization dedicated to fostering, improving, promoting and protecting the versatile hunting dog in North America. Underlying these aims is the desire to serve the interests of game conservation, the prevention of cruelty to animals, and good sportsmanship, by encouraging hunters to use dogs that are well-trained in work before and after the shot, on land and in the water.
