About The Vereinigter CanAm Deutsch Kurzhaar Club
(VCDKK)
Many friends
of the hunting Deutsch Kurzhaar (DK) in North American
and Germany, including breeders, owners and Verbandsrichter's (club judges) expressed an interest in
forming a Deutsch Kurzhaar club that would exclusively
embrace the German traditions of breed purity and
testing. In order to facilitate the integration of
members from both Canada and the United States of
America a Deutsch Kurzhaar Breed Club was established
that exemplifies the spirit and intent of the German
breeding and testing system for the Deutsch Kurzhaar.
To that
end, with the encouragement and approval of the
Deutsch-Kurzhaar Verband, e.V. (DKV), in December of
2006 the Vereinigter [United] CanAm Deutsch Kurzhaar
Klub (VCDKK) was renamed and began to move forward with
new leadership.
The focus of the VCDKK is to promote the Deutsch
Kurzhaar (DK) through proven and established performance
testing and breeding practices in order to preserve the
integrity of one of the worlds’ premier versatile
hunting companions.
Under the umbrella of the DKV, the VCDKK adheres and
abides by the strict testing rules of the
Jagdgebrauchshundverband e. V. (JGHV) and has drafted
by-laws that reflect and emphasize breeding regulations
and practices that are important to the consistent
development of a capable and biddable versatile hunting
dog.
Our executive board and many VCDKK members have years of
experience and a broad spectrum of knowledge with
respect to the training, testing and hunting of the DK.
Many of them are intimately familiar with and practice
the breeding strategies that have successfully evolved
the versatile hunting Deutsch Kurzhaar.
The VCDKK welcomes hunters who are experienced DK
supporters and novice members alike. In fact, any
licensed hunter who wishes to support our breed is
welcome in the VCDKK. The VCDDK prides
itself on making every effort to aid our members by
offering training and testing opportunities.
The
versatile hunting DK is our pride and our passion
and we will make every effort to maintain the true
versatility of the DK breed. In addition we
steadfastly abide by the time tested and
proven performance testing program of the DKV. The
VCDKK follows the letter the well
established German testing and breeding system that is
intended to consistently produce the most capable
versatile hunting companion that any serious hunter
would be proud to live with and hunt by.
