As health testing is the number one priority to receive the award, the FBDCA Health and Genetics Committee will choose 3 nominees. The three nominees will be submitted to the board of the FBDCA for approval and sent to the Orthopedic Foundation of America, where the award winner is determined. If a nominated dog is owned or co-owned by a member of the Health and Genetics Committee or a member of the Board that person must recluse herself/himself from the rest of the selection process.
THE DEADLINE FOR NOMINATIONS IS JULY 15.
