A versatile gun dog is one that points staunchly, stands steady to wing and shot, and retrieves furred or feathered game to hand, whether from land or water. Some more advanced versatile dogs also perform the crowning achievement of versatile performance, bloodtracking.

At Dog Years, we are experienced and equipped to train your versatile dog for hunting or testing in such organizations as NAVHDA, NADKC, or JGHV tests.

Depending on your dog’s level of experience and training, this training can take three months or more, commensurate with your goals and needs. Dog Years can provide you with a hunting companion that will hunt for you, find game, and bring it to bag, all with proper manners.
