About Spoon River Chapter

NAVHDA

 
NAVHDA stands for the North American Versatile Hunting Dog Association. It is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting and preserving versatile hunting dog breeds. NAVHDA was founded in 1969 with the goal of fostering and improving the skills of hunting dogs, particularly versatile breeds capable of performing a variety of tasks related to hunting. 

Our Focus

The primary focus of NAVHDA is on versatile gun dogs, which are breeds that can excel in various aspects of hunting, including pointing, retrieving, and tracking. These breeds are typically used for upland game bird and waterfowl hunting, and they are expected to be versatile and adaptable to different terrains and game species.  

Our Mission

NAVHDA promotes responsible dog ownership, breeding practices, and conservation efforts to preserve natural habitats and wildlife. The organization encourages education and training for both dogs and handlers to ensure that versatile hunting dogs perform effectively and ethically in the field.
