National IGP Championship

On behalf of the AWDF, DVG America, and Wild West Dog Sport Club welcomes you to the 2024 AWDF IGP Championship in Hilmar, California April 5-7th.
The California Central Valley offers many exciting things to experience in addition to attending the National Championship. Within a two-hour drive you can visit Yosemite, Napa Valley, and the San Francisco Bay. Hilmar and Turlock offer many dining options including Hilmar Cheese Factory and Dustbowl Brewing Company, two local favorites. For those interested in local California wines, Lodi, approximately 45 minutes north of the stadium, has guided wine tours and tastings through beautiful local wineries.
Hilmar High School is our event stadium, with the stadium events taking place on a football field with a track surround and large permanent bleachers for spectators. This year's Championship will have vendors, raffle drawings, Judge's dinner and Draw Night activities. We have access to a beautiful fenced practice field for obedience and protection a short drive from the hotel, stadium, and dining. Practice tracking information will be available at the host hotel in the welcome packet.
