HCNA Fall 2025
Specialty Show & Temperament Test

October 31-November 2, 2025 | Shelby, OH

Marie Buckingham, our host, operates a dog sport facility called The Gated Dock. There, dogs and their owners can learn dock sports, obedience, Fast Cat, Barn Hunt, and other excellent sports. If you are coming with a camper or an RV, Marie has room for you. There are no hookups, but you can run a generator. Additionally, Shelby and nearby Mansfield have many hotels that are pet friendly. VRBO and AirBnB are, of course, there too.

Marie has a 2.5 year old Hovi from ex Horto Albo in Slovenia.

After studying and shadowing our colleagues in the German Hovawart Club, the RZV, our club president, Matthew Douthat, passed the judges' exam this summer at an event outside Leipzig, Germany. He will be judging this event, and we look forward to seeing all the excellent dogs at the show!

We are especially excited for the opportunity for so much sport and training we can have here.

*Note*

Temperament Testing will be conducted on Saturday, Nov. 1, with Conformation on Sunday Nov. 2 ...
