Spoon River NAVHDA Chapter

This year our chapter has set a record for dogs passing the Utility test with prize 1 and qaulifying for the invitational.

To my knowledge only 3 past members have qaulified in 3 different years.(Hauser,Ashman,Birke).

This Year alone Sondag, Wyss, Wade, and Postin, Daniels all passed with Prize 1! and three of them with perfect scores!! Great job gentlemen (and dogs).

This is a strong sign that there is some real knowledge and talent in the chapter. I see this as a strong turning point for new members, handlers to feel confident in seeking help at our annual training days. These same people who set thier goals and trained for them, are more than happy to help others train for success. 

Congrats to the new boys on the block. May your skills and success continue to build enthusiasm and interest in the chapter.
