Invitational - Congratulations to the Hickory Run Chapters newest Versatile Champions! Just so you know, every dog that was invited to the Invitational test had to be an awesome dog to make it that far. Those that received a PASS completed each aspect of the Invitational test under each situation they were confronted with on their test day and to a standard judged By numerous NAVHDA Senior Judges.
All of our Invitational people trained extremely hard this past year, put thousands of miles on their vehicles and made the time necessary in their lives to participate in this test.
Congratulations to!

Thank all the Hickory Run volunteers who showed up in Ohio and gave a hand to help make the Invitational a huge success. The Hickory Run chapter was noticed and was well received by NAHVDA National as well as the Buckeye Chapter by all the help we sent. We were referred to by many as the "PA" group.
