HillHaven Kennels is in Wisconsin Stradivarius is the son of DC Hill Haven's Hustler.

I am not against Navhda, my issue is this... Navhda is 40 years old AKC is 125 years old. AKC titles are well documented and accepted in every record keeping organization that I am aware of, NAVHDA is not.

Are Navhda titles attached to the pedigree to show a documented history of bloodline accomplishments? I am under the impression it is not and it is solely an individual accomplishment not a pedigree accomplishment which to me doesn't incite the impression of confidence and validiy of an AKC 3 or more generation pedigree displaying that specific bloodlines accomplishments. I wish AKC would recognize Navhda titles and include their designation after the dog's registered name on the pedigree.
Let me re-emphasize I am not opposed to Navhda just wondering if it would be as beneficial to me and my goals. I do not like the clique type atmosphere I have seen at AKC events among judges judging each others dogs. I like the way Navhda tests are designed and how the judging is based off a standard as long as that standard remains rigid and precise without lowering it for a "friend" whose dog isn't deserving of the passing score. Most people who know about AKC know nothing about these qualifying tests and what takes place at them but nonetheless they will accept an AKC paper over a NAVHDA paper not that one is truly better than another it's is just that one is more recognized.

Thanks for the info on those other bloodlines, I will look them up. I will see what I have planned for that NAVHDA test in Pa during late Sept. I hope to make it out to see how things are run.
