About the Lifetime Achievement Awards for Dogs:
Purpose: Lifetime Achievement Awards are intended to honor FBDCA member-owned dogs who have achieved significant distinction in an AKC recognized activity other than conformation. A dog may only earn one of these awards once, and the award is given for extraordinary lifetime achievement.
Application & Award:
The Lifetime Achievement Awards will not necessarily be given yearly. Members who believe there is a dog worthy of such an award may nominate their own dog or any dog owned by another member in writing no later than the deadline set yearly by the Honors & Awards Committee of any calendar year for award at that year’s FBDCA Awards Banquet. Awards will only be given upon a recommendation of a majority of the Honors & Awards Committee with approval by the FBDCA Board. The deadline to nominate any dog for a lifetime achievement award for this year is July 31. Please submit your nomination to the FBDCA Honors & Awards Committee Chair, Paul Raleigh, at pvraleigh@gmail.com, before the annual deadline, which is July 31, for this year's Awards Banquet.
Note: The AKC Master title in 4 Scent Work elements will be a requirement for consideration for the Ava Award for Outstanding Lifetime Achievement in Scent Work.
