"YOUNG HANDLER’S ANNUAL ACHIEVEMENT AWARD"

Points may be scored by young handlers ( 13 to 20 years of age ) for handling animals in normal conformation classes at GSDCV Championship Shows, Working Dog Club Show, State Breed Exhibition, GSDCV Open Show, & Show Classes at Club Fun Days.

The Trophy is to reward our Younger Handlers for their participation, with bonus points awarded if their animal finishes "on the pegs".

The winner each year will be awarded the Trophy at the Club AGM.

Scoring system: 5 points awarded for each animal handled at a Championship

Show (includes Working Dog Club) or State Breed Exhibition, with 2 bonus points for finishing "on the pegs" (1^st to 10^th place); 3 points for each animal handled at GSDCV Open Show or Club Fun Days, with 1 bonus point for placings (1^st to 5^th place).

NOTE: Handlers must be at least 13 years old, to handle dogs in conformation classes at these events. Results and classes handled must be notified to the Show Secretary before leaving the venue, for each event.

"JUNIOR HANDLER OF THE YEAR TROPHY"

Points will be accumulated for results in Child Handler’s classes conducted at GSDCV Shows and Fun Days throughout the year. The annual winners in each category –

"Under 12 years" and "12 to 16 years" will be awarded the

"Junior Handler of the Year" trophies at the Club AGM.

Scoring System: Points will be awarded for placings in "Child Handlers" classes at each Show or Fun Day, with the winner gaining points equal to the number of competitors in the class, and 1 point less for each subsequent placing. (eg. If 5 entered in class – 1^st place = 5 pts, 2^nd place = 4 points, 3^rd place = 3 points, etc.)

Results will be recorded by the Secretary at each event, and forwarded to the club Show Manager, who will keep annual records of results towards the trophies.
