We are very similar to NAVDHA. We offer non-competitive testing as well as conformation and structure evaluation. Your dog will be evaluated to a set standard and is only measured against itself , not other dogs. As a handler or breeder you will gain more insight to the evaluation with VHDF using a 10 point system.  VHDF purposely does not award prizes, ribbons, or trophies in order to encourage handlers to test for evaluation of where their dog is in its development, and where the handler is in their training methods.  At the end of the day, if you are training for one, you are essentially training for the other.
