Here’s what you can expect:

We welcome all levels & equip handlers with the training needed to be successful.
Our club members reside across Alberta, Saskatchewan & B.C. and include first time versatile dog owners, dedicated hunters, professional dog trainers, versatile dog breeders and show ring competitors. We believe that when members invest in their dogs’ training, they will develop their versatile dogs into ‘finished’ hunting partners and amazing companions they will enjoy for years to come.
