FORT DETROIT GOLDEN RETRIEVER CLUB ANNUAL AWARDS AND CHALLENGE TROPHIES

The Fort Detroit Golden Retriever Club offers to all its members yearly recognition at the annual banquet in the form of an engraved plaque showing the name of the dog and the individual plates engraved for the following: All AKC titles earned, GRCA Working Certificate, Working Certificate Excellent, Show Dog Hall of Fame, Obedience Dog Hall of Fame, Field Dog Hall of Fame, Agility Dog Hall of Fame, Two Star (**) and Three Star (***) status, Outstanding Sire, Outstanding Dam, Versatility Certificate, Versatility Excellent Certificate, Certificate of Conformation Assessment, and all Fort Detroit Challenge Trophy Winnings. Requests for plaques and title plates should be sent to the Club Statistician on the proper form.

The Club also will award achievement certificates (not plaques) for titles earned from the Canadian Kennel Club, United Kennel Club, and States Kennel Club. Requests for the certificates should be sent to the Club Statistician on the proper form.

The Club honors dogs with outstanding achievements by awarding its challenge trophies to those dogs excelling in the three areas of conformation, performance, and field work during the challenge period. These trophies are engraved with the dog’s name, owner’s name and the year won. They are kept by the recipient for one year and then are returned to the Club Statistician for presentation to the following year’s honoree at the next banquet.
