AWARDS ... How to Apply for Them

The objectives of the Honors and Awards Committee are to:

A.     Recognize excellence in performance with an award for the member-owned #1     French bulldogs in Obedience, Agility, and Rally for each calendar year. Ranking shall be determined by member reporting until Front and Finish completes its plans for a rating system, which will then be used.  Click here for an application form.

B.     Recognize excellence in conformation with an award for the member-owned French bulldog with the most Breed Points (according to the Canine Chronicle breed  point system) for each calendar year.

C.     Recognize excellence in breeding by honoring each member who has bred 15 or   more French bulldogs that have earned their AKC conformation championships under any owners. Members will submit proper documentation in order to qualify. 

D.     Recognize excellence in Junior Showmanship by honoring any member's child or resident grandchild who places in the top twenty Juniors handling French Bulldogs during the calendar year as listed by TopJunior.com.

E.     Recognize with the Owner Handler award the person who is the owner and exclusive handler for ALL points submitted for consideration of the French bulldog earning the greatest number of points in AKC licensed or member shows. After 2009, an application form will be submitted by those Owner Handlers applying for the award.  Click here for an application form.

F.     Recognize those dogs completing the requirements for the Registry of Merit during the calendar year. Requirements for the four ROM levels and information on how to apply are here on the FBDCA website.

G.     Recognize with an Ambassador of the Breed Award an FBDCA member who has visibly and prominently promoted the breed within the AKC and around the country. By acting as Ambassadors of the Breed, these individuals are educating others in a grass-roots way that is important for our breed.  Club members may nominate individuals for consideration in this category. The Honors and Awards committee will make a recommendation to the FBDCA Board, which will have final approval.  This is not intended as an annual award, but will be given only on those occasions when clearly merited.

H.     Recognize with the Janis Hampton Award for Service an FBDCA member who has rendered exceptional service to the club and the breed over an extended period of time. It is not to be awarded for competition or breeding, for which there are other awards. The Janis Hampton Award is subject to FBDCA Board approval.  This is not intended as an annual award, but will be given only on those occasions when clearly merited.

 

 

Special Needs

French Bulldogs have special needs and are not for everyone.  Living with them is not the same as looking at them and admiring them.  See whether this is the breed for you.
