While I don't push the issue of NAVHDA I do suggest it. It is too far for me to go to a NAVHDA event and kind of hard to push it if I don't go myself. It is a standard to which if enough pups from one breeding Score/place, the breeder can win an award. Another, my dog is better than yours. This is just my opinion and therefore do not buy from these breeders myself. I raise hunting GWP dogs and good ones at that. I don't need to drive several hundred miles to a test to prove it. It is proven in the feilds and waterways as well as repeat buyers. Get what you want, if the breeder wants to hard ass you, that is his loss, find one that will work with you to find what you want.
GOOD LUCK
