Please CLICK HERE to view the 2023 Invitational Running Day Assignments. (Revision 08/31/2023)

Thank you for submitting your entry to run your dog in the 2023 NAVHDA Invitational Test.  One hundred and ninety-four dogs are entered to run in the five-day test to be held at Mingo Sportsman Club in Bloomingdale, Ohio, September 13-17, 2023.

PLEASE NOTE, the fields as well as the water sites which will be used for the Invitational are off limits to all training until Monday, September 18th or in the event of a “make-up” test, until Tuesday, September 19th.  If you have any questions as to the location of these sites or any other questions pertaining to the Invitational grounds, please send an email to the Invitational Grounds Committee at and someone will get back to you as soon as possible.

Running days were assigned with preference given based upon the date the entry was received.  While every effort was made to assign you the running day you requested, there were a large number of entrants who requested Wednesday and Thursday, therefore the date entries were received played a key role is assigning of the running days   If you were not assigned one of your preferred running days and would like to be placed on a wait list, please contact Mike Neiduski directly via email at with your alternate preference(s) of running day(s) as soon as possible.  Those on the wait list will be notified as openings occur.  Requests will be considered up until September 1st.

Please also inform Mike Neiduski if you will be traveling with someone to the Invitational.  We will do our best to accommodate your needs but cannot work with more than two handlers traveling together in the same vehicle as keeping a group of handlers at one site too long backs up all the venues.  Braces will be revealed to handlers prior to the opening ceremonies on each day of testing.  Should severe weather cause the cancellation of part or full day of testing, a “make-up” test will be held Monday, September 18th.  Although this is unlikely, it would be prudent to keep this in mind when making return travel plans.

On the day you are running, plan to arrive at the test grounds and be checked in no later than 6:30 a.m.  When you arrive at the grounds, go directly to the Handler Sign In Tent.  If you are running a female, even if she is spayed, please bring her with you to the check in area and proceed to the Female Check In tent after you have signed yourself in. A check of all females must be done each morning before the test can begin.

Opening ceremonies will begin promptly at 7:00 a.m. with testing beginning immediately thereafter.  Please feel free to bring your dog with you to the opening ceremonies, there will be a placard with your name as well as your dog’s name to stand next to.  This is an exciting event and can be a great photo opportunity.  If you do bring your dog with you, please always be observant of both your dog and those around you.  If you are running on Sunday and have a dog in heat, we ask that you do not bring her to the opening ceremonies so as to not interfere with other dogs running that day.

Females in season are automatically assigned to the last day the test will be held and will also be the last dogs to run at each venue.  Females in season will be quarantined to a specific area throughout the test and changes to the running order may be warranted.  If possible, it would be best to not bring any female in season to the grounds until Sunday.  Please contact Mike Neiduski as soon as you know your dog will be in season during the test so we can adjust running days accordingly.

There will be a walk-through of the test grounds Tuesday, September 12th at approximately 3:00 p.m. for any handlers that would like to attend; more information on the meeting location will be sent as we get closer to the Invitational.  Please visit the NAVHDA International website https://www.navhda.org for photographs and directions to the sites which will be posted as the information becomes available.

We expect that you will provide safe and comfortable housing for your dog throughout the day.  Dogs are to be leashed or kenneled when not testing to prevent dangerous situations or interference with the test.  Please do not approach other dogs without the owner’s permission.  Instruct your children to stay out of the testing areas and away from other dogs.

Lunches (at a cost) will be made available on the grounds Wednesday through Sunday for handlers and the gallery. The banquet will be held on Friday night; more information on the banquet, including a link to purchase tickets will be posted on the Invitational webpage soon.

There will be a designated field training area available on the grounds; signs will be posted with directions.  If you have questions on availability and ordering of training birds, contact Steve Smith at .  More information will be posted soon on the NAVHDA Invitational webpage and Buckeye Chapter website.

PLEASE NOTE:  The speed limit is 10MPH on the main entrance to Mingo.  Please always be cognizant of your speed while traveling on this entrance and allow yourself plenty of time to travel to each field and water site.

All scores will be read at the end of each test day at the Invitational Headquarters.  The timing of reading scores is dependent upon many factors which occur throughout the day and therefore can be unpredictable. As a rule of thumb, we recommend you return to Invitational Headquarters no later than 4pm.  As Sunday will could be a shorter test day, scores may be read earlier in the day.  If you are running on Sunday, we recommend you return to Headquarters as soon as you have completed testing at all sites.  If you would like, bring your dog’s pedigree to the test as the judges will be more than happy to sign it and indicate the test score your dog receives that day.

Volunteering at the Invitational is a fun and productive way to see great dog work and an outstanding way to learn more about the test.  The Invitational is an International event, which means each of us plays a part in its success.  Please consider volunteering to support those who are volunteering to support you on your big day!  If everyone who handles a dog would volunteer to work at least ONE day, there would be enough workers for all days.  We are asking everyone to volunteer using the form posted on the Invitational page of the NAVHDA website.

Test entry refunds will be made for MEDICAL reasons only.  Requests for refunds must be submitted in writing and accompanied by a verifying statement from a physician or veterinarian before the Invitational test begins. Fifty percent of the entry fee will be refunded for approved requests.  In the event of the death of the handler and/or dog, 100% of the entry fee will be refunded.  Questions pertaining to withdrawals or refunds should be directed to the Invitational Program Manager Deb Stott via email or phone 920-265-5334.

I wish you the best of luck with your training and safe travels to Ohio this fall!

Representative Fields

Double Mark Retrieve Site

Blind Retrieve Site – Please note that the send site appearing in both the picture and the diagram below may be altered at test time at the discretion of the attending Senior Judge.

Things to keep in mind for this year’s Invitational:

• Handlers may need to walk into the mesquite to flush the birds as they will be seeking shade;
  as such, it is advisable to wear chaps when running your dog in the field.
• Contrary to what you may have heard, there is very little cactus in the fields.
• As this is a Boys and Girls Ranch there is no alcohol allowed on the premises; as such, we respectfully
  request that you do not have any open alcoholic beverages while you are onsite. We also ask that you
  keep away from the horses and have no contact with any of the occupants of the Ranch.
• Please also note there is a 15MPH speed limit on the grounds.
• Trucks/SUVs are recommended due to some two track sand roads.

Running orders
Running days are primarily assigned on a “first come, first served” basis but please note that many other factors are taken into consideration when compiling the final list. Handlers will be notified which day they are running no later than April 30. Braces will be revealed to handlers on the day of testing.

Test results and plaques
All handlers will receive an official test record after the test, at no cost to the owner. It is imperative all member and dog names be correctly recorded on the entry forms to avoid errors. Co-owners will only be listed if they are listed on the dog’s record in the database. Adding a co-owner on the application will not be recognized unless it is listed in the dog’s record. Each owner who passes the Invitational will receive a plaque to commemorate their success.

Photographs 
NAVHDA will have photographers on premises to take pictures for NAVHDA and the VHD. These photographers will be allowed access to all test grounds. Please note these photos are for NAVHDA’s sole and absolute use and are not available for sale through NAVHDA. To purchase copies of the photos you must contact the photographer directly. The Invitational Photographers receive direction from NAVHDA on what and who to photograph. Any individual requests to the Invitational Photographers will be handled after they have completed their assignments for NAVHDA first.

Photographer information will be made available at and after completion of the Invitational. Due to the number of dogs and size of the grounds, not all dogs will be photographed and not all photographs will be available for purchase.

As with all NAVHDA tests, it is ultimately the handlers’ and judges’ decision whether or not to permit a photographer to walk along.

Policy for entrance acceptance

1. 1. A dog must earn a Prize I Utility score within the qualification period, which is the calendar year prior to the test.
