Testing Information

NAVHDA has a complete testing program to evaluate your dog's progress from Natural Ability, up to and including Versatile Champion. For more information on testing, visit the NAVHDA website.

The Southern Adirondack Chapter is sponsoring a NAVHDA Natural Ability, Utility Preparatory and Utility sanctioned tests both in the spring and fall. Natural Ability test evaluates the dog's natural abilities before they are 16 months of age.  The birds that we will be using in the bird field will be Chuckar Partridge. To apply for our test please fill out an official  NAVHDA test application. The official Test Entry form may be accessed either by going to the International Web Site under the Testing Page, or by going to our web site on the testing page. The chapter will be handling the ordering of birds.
