What
is unique about Deutsch Langhaar Gruppe Nordamerika? What
is the difference between a Deutsch Langhaar (DL) and a German Longhair
Pointer (GLP)? Certified DL bred to Certified DL= DL puppies. These DL puppies are the offspring of certified DLs bred in accordance to the DL Breeding Regulations set forth by the Deutsch Langhaar Verband (DLV). All puppies whelped in Deutsch Langhaar Gruppe Nordamerika are registered with the DLV in Germany, receive a registration number from the DLV, along with an official German pedigree (Ahnentafel) issued by the DLV, under the umbrella of the VDH and JGHV. DL puppies are tattooed with that registration number in their right ear before they leave the breeder's kennel . These are Deutsch Langhaars. In order for DL puppies to receive an Ahnentafel, the breeder must be a member of Gruppe Nordamerika and thereby agree to the bylaws, rules and regulations and breeding rules and regulations. Non-Certified DL bred to DL (or Non-Certified DL) = GLP puppies. These puppies are the offspring of DLs, of which one or both parents were not certified for breeding by the Deutsch Langhaar Verband (DLV) OR the breeding did not meet DLV Breed Regulations AND requirements set forth by the DLV. These puppies therefore are NOT Deutsch Langhaars, but German Longhair Pointers and CANNOT BE REGISTERED under a sanctioned and regulated breed club. These GLP puppies ARE NOT registered with the DLV in Germany, they WILL NOT receive a registration number from the DLV AND WILL NOT receive an official German pedigree (Ahnentafel) issued by the DLV. Since all breed related activity must be processed through Gruppe Nordamerika, those breeding outside of Gruppe Nordamerika and thereby against DLV Breeding Regulations, will not receive Ahnentafels for puppies. Puppies born out of German regulation can only be registered as GLPs. DL bred to GLP= GLP puppies. The DL was bred out of German regulation. Puppies are GLPs. GLP bred to GLP = GLP puppies. Unregistered dogs or dogs bred under a different registry outside of the Deutsch Langhaar breed standards and regulations. What registered dogs are eligible for testing in the JGHV and can they be breed certified through the Deutsch Langhaar Verband? According to the Deutsch Langhaar Breeding Regulations, the successful completion of JGHV(Jagdgebrauchshundverband) performance tests is required to identify the dog’s natural abilities and suitability to hunt. Dogs registered in a recognized breed book of a breed club affiliated with the JGHV are eligible for entry in a JGHV test. Dogs bred in foreign countries that possess a pedigree recognized by the FCI and are a member of a breed book or registry recognized by a JGHV member club are eligible for admittance to a JGHV test. According to the Deutsch Langhaar Breeding Regulations, Deutsch-Langhaar dogs in other countries are defined as those Deutsch-Langhaar Pointing Dogs that are from purebred litters whelped in other countries. Other countries may have breeding requirements different from those in Germany. Their DL dogs in terms of type may differ from those bred in Germany. For this reason, Deutsch-Langhaar dogs from other countries are to be screened carefully for their natural abilities, performance, hardness, type, conformation, coat and temperament before any such dog may be used for breeding in Germany. The approval of the Breeding Commission is required before a Deutsch-Langhaar dog from another country may be used for breeding in Germany. This requirement is to guarantee that no undesirable traits will be imported to the domestic breed by importing foreign blood into our gene pool. This rule also applies to foreign litters that are raised in Germany. Does membership in Deutsch Langhaar Gruppe Nordamerika require that members own Deutsch Langhaars exclusively? NO. Several members own other breeds of dogs other than the DL, including Chesapeke Bay Retrievers, Drathaars, etc. Deutsch Langhaar Gruppe Nordamerika bylaws state in accordance with the policies of the DLV, that breeding outside of rules and regulations of the DLV and Breeding Commission is forbidden. Therefore a Gruppe Nordamerika member cannot maintain nor support a breeding program for the GLP, or breed a Deutsch Langhaar out of regulation. Members who own GLPs are welcome as members of Gruppe Nordamerika as long as they do not breed their GLPs. A Gruppe Nordamerika member is permitted to maintain another breeding program of an unrelated breed, such as Deutsch Kurzhaars, English Pointers, etc. The DL-GNA membership is primarily comprised of hunters first and foremost and all are welcome as members regardless of what dog breed they hunt behind. Can

other organizations? As
