Versatile Dog Award

The Versatile Dog award is presented to the BTCA member in good standing whose Bedlington Terrier earns titles in three (3) of the ten (10) available AKC events. In the case of co-ownership at least one owner must be a current member in good standing of the BTCA. In the case of multiple ownership, the award plaque will be presented to the person who is listed first on the dog’s AKC registration papers who is a current member in good standing of the BTCA. The same dog can only win this award once. In the event that some of the titles were earned prior to the owner becoming a member, the most recent title must have been earned after the owner became a BTCA club member. To receive the award, the owner must contact Lucy Heyman, the BTCA awards chairperson, at awards@bedlingtonamerica.com, by January 31st of the year in which the award is to be presented with the following information:

  1. Names of the titles earned
