PVSSC / AKC ANNUAL AWARDS

The Potomac Valley Standard Schnauzer Club is pleased to offer an award plaque for each new championship, grand championship (at the various levels), obedience, rally obedience, tracking, agility, lure coursing, flyball or herding title earned by its members’ dogs during a calendar year. Versatility award(s) (multiple titles which can be gained over multiple years) are also offered. 

To be eligible for an award, the dog must be owned by a PVSSC member in good standing (dues are paid on time) who has attended at least 2 PVSSC meetings or events during the awards calendar year. Co-owned dogs must have resided the majority of the awards calendar year (that is, 51%) with the PVSSC member submitting the request for the award. Members who special dogs with a handler may be asked to provide proof of custodial responsibility.
