The Versatile Hunting Dog Federation (VHDF) is a group of dedicated versatile hunting dog owners and breeders.
We are a testing organization for all pointing breeds.
Our purpose is to offer bird hunters and breeders of pointing dogs tests that will help them evaluate their individual dogs as well as help breeders evaluate the strengths, weaknesses, and over-all performance of their breeding programs.
We offer three tests:
- Hunting Aptitude Evaluation: This is a puppy test.
- Advanced Hunting Aptitude Evaluation: This is an intermediate test for dogs up to approximately two and a half years of age.
- Performance Evaluation: This is a test on both land and water for the finished hunting dog.
