What is Wisconsin River Chapter - NAVHDA?

Welcome to the Wisconsin River NAVHDA Chapter website!  We are centered in Dane County and serve primarily the south central Wisconsin area.  Our membership has a mix of experienced and novice handlers who love working together to share their knowledge and experience in the development of our versatile hunting dogs.   Some members are passionate hunters and trainers who are striving for a NAVHDA prize, while others are simply interested in improving their dog’s hunting skills at our monthly training days.  Whatever your interest or level of experience, we will help you achieve the best for you and your dog.

WRC has a cooperative spirit that encourages all members to actively participate in the Chapter activities. We encourage members to volunteer for various tasks, from coordinating a lunch at a training day to working at one of the test events sponsored by our Chapter.

All handlers benefit from attending chapter activities.  These include training days, handler clinics, training seminars, apprentice judge training, spring and fall tests,
e-collar and equipment training, mock tests, and veterinary health advice.

We are versatile pointing gun dog enthusiasts with a passion for enjoying our well trained dogs. We have joined together for training and testing to improve our dogs, to enhance our dog handling abilities, and ultimately improve the versatile breeds.

Ok! But what do I get as a member of WRC?
As a member of WRC you will find new friends dedicated to helping you train your dog to be a pointing and retrieving hunting companion. Our members will provide a buddy system for training, providing the necessary support while you learn to train. You will be ensured access to grounds and birds for training, and a gun dog test to measure your dog's stock as a versatile gun dog. You will have access to this website and our monthly chapter newsletters to inform and educate you about NAVHDA and WRC activities. NAVDHA International has additional support that you can check out at www.navhda.org.
