Versatility Award
Please direct all applications and questions to our Program
Coordinator.
Versatility Award Requirements
Dogs must accumulate 5 points, with at
least one point from each of the 3 categories (conformation,
obedience (including rally, obedience and agility), TT/CGN.
Note that points are counted for the highest level achieved in a
category. Under the Obedience Category points may be earned
in obedience, rally and agility, since they each require totally
different types of training. Maximum points available are
Conformation (4); Obedience (6); Obedience/Tracking (6);
Obedience/Rally (4); Obedience/Agility (6); CGN/TT (2). Note
that in Agility, titles can be earned in both the Standard
Classes and Jumpers with Weaves (JWW) Classes, either regular or
preferred level. However, versatility points are awarded only
for the highest title earned, regardless of course or level.
No additional points will be awarded for
Rally Advanced Excellent (RAE) title
EXAMPLE: A dog with the following
accomplishments would earn the following points.
CH 3 Points in Conformation
CDX 3 Points in Obedience
CGN 1 Point (Canine Good
Neighbour)
Versatility Excellent Award Requirements
Dogs must accumulate 10 points, with at
least one point from each of the three categories.
Note – TT
and CGN have been grouped together due to the fact both are a
basic test of the dog’s temperament and ability to interact with
other dogs and humans in a social manner.
Applying for a Versatility Award
It is the responsibility of the owner of an
eligible dog to apply for either the versatility award or the
versatility excellent award. The application should include
copies of the dog’s CKC registration certificate, and the latest
CKC certificate reflecting all the necessary titles. In the
case of a dog that has conformation points but not a
Championship, a copy of the record of the 1-point or better win
as it appears in the CKC publication must be provided.
The application information should be sent
to the PCOC Versatility Cordinator at least 6 weeks prior to the PCOC National Specialty Show to provide adequate time to prepare
the awards for presentation. If it is likely that the dog will
complete the requirements for the award at the national
specialty, the application information should still be sent at
least 6 weeks in advance, with an explanatory note about the
missing title(s). This will allow for the award to be available
for presentation if the requirements are completed before the
PCOC versatility awards presentation.
Application information should be sent to
the National Specialty Show Committee. But the application
itself should be sent to our VA Program Coordinator, as
indicated below.
