New NAVHDA Chapter in BC

[Sasquatch]

As the closest Canadian chapter of NAVHDA (North American Versatile Hunting Dog Association) is in Edmonton, I thought I would post a message here to see if there are any versatile hunting dog owners around who are interested in starting a local chapter in BC.

If you have any interest in joining a local NAVHDA chapter, send me a message and I'll contact NAVHDA and see what is required. I have spoken with them in the past and they suggested starting a chapter in BC.

If nothing else, we can meet some other dog owners locally and maybe help each other with training.

Look forward to hearing from you!

Anything ever happen with this one?

Big Boar, I tried again a couple years ago. I figure we need 12 to 15 serious members to start a BC chapter - we came up just a bit short but way better than the first time in '05.
Didn't think it would be a good idea to start one and have it fizzle, so I let it go. There seem to be a few more guys with versatiles now, so it may be worth trying again.

Look forward to seeing your pup someday.

Well, I'm in if something should ever come up again.

I am a member of the prarie Vista NAVHDA chapter in Calgary as there is still no BC chapter. I've run my now 2yr old PP in both NA and UPT there. I think I am going to check out the all breeds pointer club in the spring but am often looking for training partners outside of organized events. Where abouts are you located. I am in Abbotsford.

I'm a Surrey griff owner and would be happy to meet up with you for some training. I have one bird launcher, a lucky launcher II, and frozen birds,,,,,even saved some deer blood and a chunk of hide for tracking.
