The Official Deutsche Wachtelhund North America,Inc (DWNA) Club Site.
The DWNA Club was formed under VDW Authority and incorporated in November, 2007.
This action was supported by the
JGHV.
We started taking memberships in January 2008. The DWNA is dedicated to the testing
and quality breeding of Wachtelhunds in North America. We provide Wachtelhund descriptions, breed
standards and testing requirements. We provide a Deutscher Wachtelhund
Forum
for owners and interested individuals to
discuss Wachtelhund breeding, training and other related issues.
We are a Deutscher Wachtelhund Rescue group. DWNA
Wachtelhunds are bred to strict German standards.

In Germany, the Wachtelhund is classified as a versatile
forest dog bred for finding sparse game over harsh conditions such as mountains,
ice and snow. They are basically flushers and will sometimes flash point,
but are also noted for going in for the kill. They are a long
haired, muscular, medium sized dogs. They make excellent bird dogs but
will work fur game also. Unlike hounds they can be called off a trail and
will return to their master. They excel at water water, retrieving, and
trailing game; they are aggressive in the hunt, but they are also loyal and
great family dog, and friendly with people. They do best living in the
home.
