General Questions
Q: What is the NAVHDA Member Portal?
A: The NAVHDA Member Portal is a new online platform designed to enhance the membership experience for North American Versatile Hunting Dog Association (NAVHDA) members. It provides a range of tools and features for managing personal profiles, dog profiles, directories, and test management.
Q: How do I access the NAVHDA Member Portal?
A: To access the portal, follow this link https://www.navhda.org/register/ and log in using your member number. If you don’t know your member number, you can find it on the label of your latest VHD Magazine. Multi-factor authentication is an optional setting you can enable in your “My Account” dashboard outside of the Portal.
Q: Why is the website telling me there is a mismatch with my information when I try to Register my login?
Q: Why can't I reset my password?
A: If you received the reset password link and were told that the link is invalid, that means you DO have an account with the website, but that you are encountering an overprotective bug. If you did NOT receive an email, this may mean you never registered your login or that the login was registered under a different email.
For either scenario, please reach out to for assistance.
