About Us

The SEHC is one of eight chapters of Group North America and serves Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee. GNA is one of 34 regional groups belonging to VDD.

The Deutsch Drahthaar was created in Germany in the late 19th century by a small group of dedicated breeders who set out to develop a versatile hunting dog that would satisfy all aspects of German hunting in field, forest, and water. This group of breeders succeeded in creating a versatile hunting dog that took its traits from the best dogs of the existing coarse hair breeds, cross bred with the shorthair blood. These ancestors included the Stichelhaar, Pudelpointer, Griffon, and the Deutsch-Kurzhaar.
