About OVPDC and Ottawa Valley NAVHDA Chapter

The OVPDC and NAVHDA Chapter exists to provide opportunities for its members to train their pointing dogs in a variety of field, obedience and conformation events. The Club conducts informal training sessions throughout the year and holds special events such as NAVHDA sanctioned trials and CKC sponsored field tests.

If you enjoy the outdoors, training your dog and participation in field trials and tests, you are welcome to join the OVPDC and NAVHDA Chapter.

The Club strives to protect and advance the interest of the pointing breeds by encouraging sportsmanlike competition at dog shows, field tests and trials. The OVPDC and NAVHDA Chapter holds an annual CKC field test on Wolfe Island (Kingston) in May and also conducts NAVHDA trials and CKC conformation shows.
