Annual Trophies and Awards
For awards involving three scores, all three scores
must be submitted on the same form if two were earned in prior years. At least
the third score must have been earned in the current calendar year.
For awards involving titling in two activities, which title was earned first
does not matter but both must have been earned by the end of the current calendar
year. Example: For the Likka award, the dog may have earned an obedience title
in January and a Flyball title in November and still be eligible for this award.
The purpose is to recognize dogs competing in multiple activities.
Only obedience scores in Novice, Open and Utility are eligible (does not include
Rally or Non-Regular classes).
While working towards a title indicates that eligible scores do
not include any earned after the 3rd qualifying leg. Scores in any class
indicates that eligible scores include those earned after receiving 3rd qualifying
score but prior to official notification of the title.
