CCKC introduces new awards for home-bred
and handled champions and versatile performance dogs

These awards recognize the achievements of club members and their dogs. Therefore, the titles must be earned while the dog is owned by a member of the club. Titles earned before the owner joined the club and titles earned by the dog prior to acquisition by the club member are not eligible.

Applications for the awards will be made on a form approved by the board and will be due to the awards chairman by November 30 each year. The first awards will be made at the 2006 annual meeting and may include all such achievements no matter when they were earned. In subsequent years, only dogs that have achieved their third title and owner bred and handled dogs that have earned their championship from December 1-November 30 will be eligible.


Versatility award

This award will be given to dogs that have achieved titles in three disciplines recognized by the AKC or the breed parent club. AKC-recognized breeds, including breeds in the miscellaneous class and the AKC Foundation Stock Service, are eligible.

The AKC titles include a breed championship; obedience; Rally-O; agility; tracking; earthdog; herding; hunting; lure coursing and any other events sanctioned by AKC. (Canine Good Citizen is not a title and will not be recognized as such.)

Breed parent club titles include certifications awarded for breed-related skills such as herding, water rescue, carting, sledding,packing, trailing, weight pulls, etc.

Titles offered by clubs, groups, or associations other than the breed parent club or the AKC are not eligible.


Bred-by exhibitor championship

This award will be given to members who show a dog they bred to a championship by accumulating all points as an owner-handler. Points need not be earned from the bred-by class.

Award forms for the bred-by exhibitor championship can be downloaded here; forms for the versatility award are available here.
