Gordy and Mike practicing ‘backing’ with their Brittanys. When hunting with 2 dogs the ‘back’ dog will honor the front dogs point, and wait for them to flush and often retriever with their handler. This demonstrates immense obedience of a bird dog who wants so badly to get the bird! Good job guys! #navhda #navhdatraining #bird #dogs #birddogs #bird #dog #birddog #uglydogs #bearded #dogs #beardeddogs #beardeddogsrule #natural #ability #naturalabilitytest #naturalabilitytesttraining #naturalability
Training day this weekend was a lot of fun! Gordy showed us his VC Luna, Mike is working on a new pup, John is working with Luca for his NA test next month, and Eric’s dog has a VERY serious face for the birds! #navhdatrainingday #navhda #goodd

Chris and Behr enjoying a little quality time. Who else is looking forward to getting into training and having some off-season fun with their pup?

On the warmest day of the year, it's hard to remember all the hard work you put in on the coldest days of the year. Cory Hetzel shared this beautiful winter pic.

What a perfect day to get the grounds, and the training pond, in tip top shape! Thanks to everyone from WRCNAVHDA and HRC. Can't wait to get the pups swimming soon!

A lot of firsts today! First group training of the year for our chapter, first sunburn for many of us, and, pictured here, some pups got their first look at a bird.

On opening day of pheasant season, Rupert pointed his first bird and I (Micah) somehow shot it. He was about 7 months old and I was one proud dog dad.

We had a fun morning duck hunting. Choco had some great retrieves and enjoyed watching the skies with us for more incoming ducks. When it was time to quit, you could see the disappointment in her expression. (Pictured here are Choco and Jacob.)

We are pleased to announce that the Greater Green Bay Community Foundation awarded a $2,000 grant to the Wisconsin River Chapter NAVHDA. WRC Secretary Mike Murray's Spinone "Titan" is especially thankful.   This donation specifically increases flexibility for the WRC NAVHDA to secure a replacement for the chapter’s aging trailer. A new trailer will provide not just adequate space for storing the equipment necessary to run our training and testing events, it also increases the highway safety. The larger trailer will enable storage and safe transportation of all chapter training gear. This donation supports our chapter’s mission to help members fully enjoy the process of training their hunting dog companions and improves our ability to host chapter tests and activities in a broader geographical area.   Thanks to Sean & Rachel Bielmeier for their involvement in this donation process. If you’ve never met their dog, Benny, stop and say Hi to this bundle of enthusiasm.   The WRC NAVHDA was established in 1998. We help our members develop good handling skills to train their dogs; produce happy, well-mannered hunting companions; and ultimately improve the versatile breeds by evaluating these goals through field testing. Members are a mix of novice and experienced handlers willing to help each other bring the best out of their dogs and their relationship with the outdoors.

Getting your dog off to a good start is the most a handler can do in the tracking portion of NAVHDA's Natural Ability test....the rest is up to the dog. WRC Training Director Jake Zeuske gives chapter members some tips on what to look for and how best to release your dog on the track.
Successful double test weekend! A big thank you to all of our dedicated WRC members who volunteered to make sure the test went off without a hitch at both locations. We couldn't do it without you! Congratulations to all who tested a dog this weekend
