Flat-Coated Retriever Society of Canada

FCRSC AWARDS

FCRSC AWARDS

The current Awards system was launched in 2000 and coincided with the 25th Anniversary of the Society. The goal of the Awards is to encourage club members to work with their dogs and to celebrate their accomplishments.

Some choose to try and reach the pinnacle at one specific event while others enjoy working in multiple venues. Consequently, the Awards were designed to reward both preferences by recognizing Outstanding Achievements, the All-Round Retriever, and Versatility Dogs.  Dogs eligible for an award must be owned by a club member, both at the time the requirements are completed and at the time of application for the award. For awards that require more than one title/achievement, the owner of the dog must be a member of the FCRSC when the last title/achievement was earned. The club members do not need to be a Canadian resident to qualify, however all the titles and achievements must be earned in Canada.  The award form for the current year is available in the FCRSC Members area.
