What is Wild Rose NAVHDA?

Wild Rose, a sanctioned local chapter of the North American Versatile Hunting Dog Association, was founded in 2003 and comprises members throughout the province of Alberta.

The North American Versatile Hunting Dog Association (NAVHDA) is a legally recognized nonprofit organization dedicated to fostering, improving, promoting, and protecting the versatile hunting dog in North America.

What do we do?

Alberta’s Wild Rose chapter is a small but vigorous group of versatile breed owners dedicated to honing the natural abilities of our dogs as well as increasing the training knowledge and skills of ourselves as dog handlers in order to develop excellent hunter and hunting dog teams. Our goal is to help our members become better handlers and to fully realize the potential of our versatile hunting dogs.

The chapter organizes training sessions and sponsors NAVHDA tests. We also provide a forum to share our challenges, knowledge and experiences and to strike up local training partnerships to allow us to become better dog handlers and trainers. Wild Rose has a nice mix of breeds currently represented in our chapter: German Shorthaired Pointer, German Wirehaired Pointer, German Longhaired Pointer, Brittany Spaniel, Small Munsterlander, Large Munsterlander, Vizsla, Wirehaired Pointing Griffon, Cesky Fousek, and Weimaraner.

Want to find out more about the NAVHDA versatile breeds? See the San Diego NAVHDA website for a description and picture of each breed.
