TGK & the American Drentsche Patrijshond Association

​Jenna and I would like to take a quick moment to tell you a little bit about the American Drentsche Patrijshond Association. 

Despite our previous relationship with the other domestic Drent organization, we stopped being heard, or valued some time ago. Now we no longer feel represented by their mission, vision, or conduct. 

We aren't alone. The ADPA was envisioned by some Drent enthusiasts who thought things could be better and in short order all active Drent breeders, and those seeking to breed in the near future, came together and left the other organization to found the ADPA.

The ADPA is about building a supportive community of Drentsche Patrijshond fanciers who wish to celebrate, promote, preserve, and advance the breed through education and mentorship, continuous improvement of thoughtful breeding practices, and enjoyable community events and exhibitions. The ADPA is recognized by the American Kennel Club, and is a legal non-profit entity. 

If you are interested in joining a breed Association that is interested in working together to create synergy and community, or even if you just want a place to share your silly Drent photos and stories, then look no further than the APDA!

The ADPA is currently accepting applications for charter memberships (help us ensure the organization is set up for success and get a super cool limited edition t-shirt) as well as regular annual single and family memberships!

As always, if you have questions, comments, feedback, or would like to chat - we are here, please just reach out.
