After Hitler's seizure of power in 1933, the Reichsverband für die Deutsche Hundewesen (RDH) was established as a "unitary organization" and the DKH, Delegierten-Commission and Verband von Vereinen zur Prüfung von Gebrauchshunden zur Jagd were incorporated into these.

Managing Director of the RDH Konrad Most was appointed in 1933 to the Reichsabrichtewart für Diensthunde.

After the dissolution of the RH, ordered by the Allies, on 1 January 1946[3] was his board member Franz Bazille (1933 Reichsausstellungswart in the RDH) involved in the founding of the VDH on 11 June 1949.

The former managing director of the DKH from 1933 Franz Bazille was appointed honorary president in 1952 and remained that until his death on 12 October 1952.

The Verband für das Deutsche Hundewesen represents Germany in the Fédération Cynologique Internationale.

In addition there are the extraordinary members of the de:Jagdgesichtshundverband (JGHV), which is responsible for the testing of hunting dogs, and two greyhound racing clubs.

In the AZG is since 1998[2] The de:Begleithundprüfung i.e. compulsory examination, i.e. condition for participation in Dog sports.

Within the VDH the Arbeitsgemeinschaft der Zuchtvereine und Gebrauchshundverbände (AZG) existed since 30 September 1956.

In the AZG is since 1998[8] The de:Begleithundprüfung compulsory examination, i.e. condition for participation in dog sports.
