Endeavor Drents

Proud to be charter members of the American Drentsche Patrijshond Association! We love our helpful and kind community.

In the last year alone, ADPA members produced five litters, earned 30+ AKC titles, completed multiple NAVHDA hunt tests, launched a North American Drent Health Survey pilot, premiered our first Drentflix video, hosted a Drent booth at AKC’s NYC Meet the Breeds, sponsored our first Open Shows, developed multiple ADPA award programs, were featured three different magazines, and more.

This is what an active, growing breed club looks like.

If you own a Drent, your dog is part of this story. Joining the ADPA means you are too. Your membership directly supports the work being done to grow this breed in America and advance our path toward AKC recognition. Whether you support our mission with your dues, your ideas, or your volunteer efforts - it all makes a difference for the future of the Drent.

Membership Month is underway. See comments for how to join us.

Strider: 💜 Best of Opposite 💜 (By default)

Pending AKC confirmation, Strider and Winnie both sit at 5 CM points now!

I am especially proud of Strider this weekend for showing his heart out for me. As a young, 2-yr old dog, he can sometimes lack focus in the ring because he much prefers to sniff the floor or look anywhere except straight ahead 😂 These past 3 days he held his head up in the ring, moved well for me, and was a great teammate. Outside the ring, everyone he greeted got lost in his eyes as he begged for cuddles. Love my sweet boy 🥰

A huge shoutout to our lovely friends who came to the show every day to support us! The Open show had an audience every day. It was super awesome that all 3 Drents present this weekend were able to earn at least 1 point 😊

Winnie had a great weekend at the Rogue Valley Kennel Club shows, earning her very first

💚🩷Best in Open Show💚🩷
win on Saturday, and winning the breed in shows #1 and #3 against a lineup of excellent examples of the breed. We are proud of her as she continues to mature and show us her love of the show ring 🥰

A wonderful weekend in a beautiful park, and lovely time spent with friends! (In heat stroke-inducing temperatures 😂) So appreciative as always of clubs that are willing to support the FSS and Miscellaneous breeds 🫶🏽

On May 31st, Winnie took the NAVHDA Natural Ability Test in Madras, OR which was held by the Central Oregon NAVHDA Chapter.

Although she unfortunately received no prize due to having some mixed feelings about going for a swim, we are extremely proud of the work she gave us in the field, earning the highest possible scores in Use of Nose, Pointing, and Tracking.

We are excited to keep up with her training this summer!

Thank you to Emily Delaplain for the pictures.
