English Springer Spaniel Club of Canada
VERSATILITY AWARD
Those of us who have shared our lives with an English Springer Spaniel are aware of their friendly personalities, their many talents and their willingness to join in whatever activities we undertake.
Many of us reach the top of whatever activity we choose to participate in. Some of us explore more than one activity.
However, succeeding in several diverse areas of endeavour takes a talented dog and handler as well as a commitment of time and effort. The Versatility Award is intended to recognize those dogs and handlers that excel in a number of different dog-related disciplines.
The criteria for the Versatility Award are not easy to complete. It is meant to be a special award for achievement in a variety of disciplines. In most cases it will take a number of years to complete and for many it will become in essence, a lifetime achievement award.
The award should be possible for all Springers to achieve, whether Field or Bench bred, whether of show or pet quality. Therefore there is no mandatory title to be won and there are many different areas of achievement that may qualify for the award. It is hoped that the award will stimulate interest from all Springer owners to explore other areas of participation/competition with their dogs.
As this is a Canadian award, only CKC titles will be used to determine eligibility. However, other titles may be listed on the award as well.
Membership in the English Springer Spaniel Club of Canada is a requirement as we wish to promote participation in the club. This award may give those who do not participate in conformation showing or breeding more of a reason to join the parent club of their breed. It is desirable to have people with many different interests in Springers connect with one another and share their perspectives.
The awards will presented yearly at the National Specialty Show. At the present time the awards will be administered by Norma Schaffer and Karen Spalding.
