"When I first joined five years ago, I did
not know where to begin. Club
members took me under their wings
and openly shared their knowledge and
experience with me. I believe I received
over $2000 worth of training information
my first year alone. Not to mention the
friendships I have built. I too have a
Prize II Natural Ability Hunting Dog."  -
Mark Gehrke
Western Illinois Chapter of NAVHDA was
formed in 1998 by a group of individuals
