Versatile Champions

Every dog our members train and every test we "prize" in is a cause for celebration. While we cannot recognize every accomplishment, we highlight our chapter's Versatile Champions

The Invitational is NAVHDA's highest level of testing. Only those dogs that have achieved a Prize I in Utility are eligible. This limits the entry to exceptional dogs who have demonstrated a high level of training and have tested their skills in the advanced work. The Invitational is a pass/fail event. Dogs that pass the test are legally renamed in the NAVHDA registry to include the letters "VC" in front of their name. 

​NCW NAVHDA is honored that MANY of our members have achieved the title of Versatile Champion. This truly is a chapter honor as it takes enormous amounts of time and teamwork to train a dog to this level.
