Utility Test
In the field, a versatile dog
should exhibit a fine nose, staunch
pointing and the desire to search for,
track and retrieve game in a
cooperative manner. A versatile dog
needs to further prove his
independence, stamina and quality
of nose by transferring his search
for, and retrieving of game, to the
water. NAVHDA's testing program
provides an opportunity for dogs to
exhibit these characteristics while
remaining obedient and in control at
all times. True versatile dogs should
perform all tasks with enthusiasm
and be willing to work with, and
for, their handlers.
The
North
American
Versatile Hunting Dog Association
is a nonprofit corporation whose
purpose is to foster, promote, and
improve the versatile hunting dog
breeds in North America; to
conserve game by using well trained
reliable hunting dogs before and
after the shot; and to aid in the
prevention of cruelty to animals by
discouraging
nonselective
and
uncontrolled
breeding,
which
produces unwanted and uncared for
dogs.
