history
The Union
In 1947 the Württembergisch-Badischer Dressageverband für Schutz- und Polizeihunde (WBDV) was founded, which was joined by Palatinate clubs shortly after it was founded. In 1972 the club was renamed the Südwestdeutscher Hundesportverband (swhv). The swhv is a purely sports-oriented association.
Memberships and umbrella organizations
In the south, the Württembergisch-Baden Dressage Association for Protection and Police Dogs merged with Rhineland-Palatinate (WBDV) and the state associations from Hesse, Bavaria and Berlin to form the Association of South German Working Dogs (VSGV). This became the Association of State Associations for German Working Dogs (VLDG), which the German Protection Dog Association (DSV) also joined.
The VLDG merged with the DVG in 1977 to form the German Dog Sports Association (dhv), with the respective member associations becoming independent members of the dhv. The DVG has been an independent association in the VDH since 2013.
