I bought my first pup from Jeff. Knows his stuff and is (or was) heavily involved in NAVHDA.

Interesting. I had not heard about the VHDF until now. Is it an offshoot of NAVHDA or did that group have issues?

How they test is different. Or that's my understanding at least.

Post by: RC3 on October 29, 2013, 02:46:03 PM: VHDF is something they started because some breeders decided they wanted more from their testing system. In a NAVHDA test two dogs can be a prize 1 with 4's across the board and you wouldn't be able to tell from the score which dog was better or better in what area's, weaker in other, etc. So they score it on a 10 pt system to better differentiate between the dogs. Its a lot like the German tests but with a lot less emphasis on fur tracking and more emphasis on the field work and search. You can check it out for yourself www.vhdf.org (http://www.vhdf.org)

Post by: DogZilla on January 02, 2014, 03:48:52 PM: Kelly's dogs are real go getters, born to hunt. Hope you're young. They'd run the legs of someone my age.... Jeff's dogs a big solid workhorses, have a bit of DD in some if not all.

VHDF vs NAVHDA: Testing is pretty close to the same but how the tests are scored is entirely different. NAVHDA uses a 4 point system while VHDF uses a ten point system. You get a much more accurate evaluation of a dog in the ten point system.
