Awards Program


The VCDKK has several awards that honor both the DK’s owner-handler and the DK. Except for

the VGP award, which is provided by the club and a certificate which is presented to owners of

liters earning a Breeder Award, all other awards are in the form of plaques and are obtained

through our provider. It is the responsibility of the owner-handler to initiate the contact with

the provider to order and pay for these awards. Those wanting to order plaques are requested

to refer to the Tests, Zuchtschau, and Breeder Award order forms for ordering instruction.

Awards are for VCDKK members in good standing.

Plaque sizes are 5 x7 in. (youth), 6 x 8 in. (adult) for test and Zuchtschau categories,

and 8x10 in. for Breeder Awards.

Plaques will be a gold full metal sheet with a cherry wood colored base.
