ya i think youre right, it would make sense they would send an invite to everyone since they need so many volunteers each day..i think it would be a great experience to see some real good dog work and since its people from all over it would be great to meet so many members :D only thing is since i posted this lori from the GWP club called me and i just set up jersey for her JH test the same weekend, im sending out the paperwork tomorrow so i think i will try to do her JH test sunday and volunteer saturday for the invitational or visa versa :wink: i know the JH test is an entry level test some dont bother doing but my husband and i are really excited to get into any event with her and learn new things about the tests and handling her :D ...ruth

the JH test and NAVHDA invitational isnt until sept :D after talking to a few folks who know where jerseys at in her training theyve advised strongly against her going into the JH test because shes steady to flush and it may undo what she has learned so far so we are going to listen to the advice and i believe she will be taking her SH while with the trainer this winter..thanks again, ruth...

If you have aspirations to run your dog in the Invitational at some point in the future, you'd be well served to volunteer this year. It would help you with your training / handling as you'd have a much better idea of what you and your dog will be up against after having actually witnessed the test, as opposed to just reading the test rules on the NAVHDA website. On top of that, you'll have a great time getting to know the other NAVHDA folks there, and watching some nice dog work.
