You must have successfully handled a dog that you trained through a VJP, HZP, and VGP within the last 4 years. 2. Must have attended the "Introduction to the JGHV" seminar within the last 3 years. 3. Have a Chapter Chairman email a letter of recommendation to the DoJD. 4. Must have been a member of VDD-GNA for at least 3 years.

You will enjoy being able to Judge these awesome dogs! ***************************************************************************** Are you in the dog house? Well the best way to get out of the dog house is to give them a dog! A Duetsch Drahthaar puppy of course! Check out the Breeders page for puppies in the SEHC. Make someone very happy! ***************************************************************************** DOG FOOD RECALL: On December 6, 2011, The Procter & Gamble Company (P&G) announced a recall of a single lot of Iams ProActive Health Smart Puppy dry dog due to Aflatoxin levels that were above the acceptable limit.
