| The Club has several annual awards that
are presented at our Annual General Meeting. Annual Awards include: |
| The following criteria are effective as of February 17, 2007, |
 | In order to be considered applicable toward annual
trophies and awards, participation, qualifying points, scores, legs, and titles must be
earned while the owner is a member in good standing of the BCLRC. If a member’s
membership has lapsed because of dues being in arrears, their activities may not be
considered towards these awards. |
| Only Labrador Retrievers are eligible for annual awards.
|
| The dog must by owned or co-owned by the member applying and possess an individual
CKC registration, Event Registration Number (ERN) or Performance Event Number (PEN).
|
| Unless otherwise noted, only accomplishments earned in Canada will be considered. |
|
|
This award is based on all wins by the
Puppy before the age of twelve months and will be counted in the calendar year in which
he/she reaches one year of age. Show Puppy of the Year will be determined on the basis of
wins in Canadian Kennel Club (CKC) conformation shows. The highest number of
points attained at a show to will go towards the annual number of points. Ten bonus points
will be awarded if the wins occur at a breed specialty. For the BCLRC specialty, the puppy
will also earn 1 bonus point for each puppy defeated, not including the puppy being
considered.
Points:
| Best Puppy in Breed 5 points
|
| Best Puppy in Group 15 points
|
| Best Puppy in Show 25 points
|
| Specialty bonus + 10 points
|
| BCLRC specialty bonus + 1 point per dog defeated
|
As an example, if a puppy wins Best Puppy in Show, the dog
will be credited with 25 points for that show, not 5 + 15 + 25. If the show was a breed
specialty (e.g. Island Pacific, Labrador Retriever Club), an additional 10 points will be
earned for a total of 35 for that show. |
|
This award is based on the largest number of Labradors defeated in
Breed competition in licensed CKC conformation shows.
Breed Level
Only Labradors with the following placements may count defeats as
follows:
| Winners Dog/Bitch, - count all Labradors of the same sex
defeated in class competition,
|
| Best of Winners - count all Labradors of both sexes defeated in
class competition,
|
| Best of Breed - count all Labradors defeated in the competition
|
| Best of Opposite Sex - count all Labradors

placements will be the above plus the following:
| 1st in Class
|
| Best Canadian Bred
|
| Judge’s Award of Merit
|
Group Level
Three (3) points will be awarded for each breed defeated.
ie: If 12 breeds compete in the group then:
| 1st in group would defeat 11 breeds and get 3 x 11 = 33 points
|
| 2nd in group would defeat 10 breeds and get 3 x 10 = 30 points
|
| 3rd in group would defeat 9 breeds and get 3 x 9 = 27 points
|
| 4th in group would defeat 8 breeds and get 3 x 8 = 24 points
|

Awarded in celebration of the First Dog in Canada to earn the title GRAND MASTER
HUNTER, "ALICIA", CHOICE ACTION ALICIA, WCX,
GMH Trained and Handled by Geoff Cake
To be awarded annually to the Club Member's dog accumulating the highest number of
hunt test points from Canadian Kennel Club approved hunt tests in one year. Points are
based on the following formula and applied to qualifying legs and titles awarded from
January 1 to December 31st in any one year. Only legs and titles completed in the calendar
year count for points that year. There is no carry over of points from one year to the
next. Legs for a title may be earned in more than one year but only those legs and titles
earned in the year under consideration are considered for the trophy.
Junior Hunter
Junior Hunter qualifying legs count for 1 point per leg to a maximum of 4 points.
Junior legs completed beyond the first four are no longer counted.
The Junior Hunter Title is counted as 1 point.
Maximum Junior Hunter Points are 5 points.
Senior Hunter
Senior Hunter qualifying legs count for 2 points per leg to a maximum of 8 points.
Senior legs completed beyond the first four are no longer counted.
The Senior Hunter Title is counted as 2 points.
Maximum Senior Hunter Points are 10 points.
Master Hunter
Master Hunter qualifying legs count for 3 points per leg with no maximum points in
any one year. Master points earned after the Master Hunter Title is earned will continue
to count for 3 points except for those earned within the same year as the Grand Master
Title is earned (see below).
The Master Hunter title is counted as 3 points.
No maximum Master Hunter points until the Grand Master title is completed.
Grand Master Hunter
Master Hunter qualifying legs will continue to count as 3 points each until the
calendar year when Grand Master Title is earned. Any Master legs earned within the same
calendar year as the Grand Master Title is earned will count for 5 points per leg.
Grand Master Hunter Title is counted as 5 points.
The calendar year, following the year that the Grand Master Title is earned, the
Grand Master dog is no longer eligible to compete for this trophy.
It is possible for a dog to count as many legs and titles as they qualify for in
any one calendar year subject to the above maximums for each title. Examples of how this
point formula works include:
| If a dog qualifies for all the legs for a Junior and Senior Title in one year, the
dog would have 14 or 15 points depending if they completed 3 or 4 Junior legs.
|
| A Senior plus Master Title would be worth 28 points if all legs for both titles
were completed in one calendar year |
| Five legs plus a Master title would add up to 18 points
|
| If 2 more Master legs are completed along with the Master legs and title above it
would add up to 24 points. |
| A dog who completes the last three legs need to earn a Grand Master Title would
receive 5 points for each leg earned in the year of the title plus 5 points for the title
for a total of 20 points. |
If a tie in points occurs, the dog earned the highest title in the year will be
the winner. If that does not resolve the tie, it will be shared jointly for the year.
If the BCLRC Society makes a decision not to continue to award this trophy as
stipulated here or if the society/club is dissolved, the trophy will be returned to Geoff
Cake. If that is not possible, it will be returned to Gord McGhie. If that is not
possible, it will be returned to Barry Kolodychuck. Any changes made to the awarding of
this title will need to be approved by Geoff Cake. If that isn't possible, approval for
change will follow the order above |
|
This award is based on the single highest qualifying
scores in CKC traditional (i.e. not Rally) obedience classes. |

Donated by Heather Ferguson.
This trophy is to be awarded to the dog that actively
participates in the most different types of events.
Gordon Ferguson's Teak was primarily a field dog. She was
high point qualifying dog in Canadian Field Trials for 1998. She did, as an aside, therapy
work, obedience, agility, flyball, carting (draft dog). She had just started tracking and
at home was an assistant dog for Heather's late father, picking up things he dropped,
getting drinks from the fridge - she could open and closed the door plus alerting if he
fell.
The challenge was, as it was felt by many handlers that
field dogs could only do field, that it would be too confusing and beyond their focus to
do other things, as well as reducing their ability to compete in Field Trials.
The original intent was to have a field dog that showed
versatility in other events, at least two, in order to qualify. The dog does not have to
be primarily a field dog, as long as the dog is actively participating in multiple events.
Participation is defined as showing/competing in sanctioned shows, tests, trials or
matches by Canadian organizations (i.e. CKC, AAC, CARO). It also includes taking classes,
seminars and training towards skills such as search and rescue.
A title is not a prerequisite and doesn't influence the
award system. Example: Dog A may title in show and compete in obedience and field work,
but Dog B participates in show, field, obedience, and agility then dog B is the more
versatile.
Events of the same type are considered to be one, due to the
similar nature of the skills required. Field work (field trials, hunt, working
certificate) are considered to be one event. Obedience work (traditional obedience, rally,
canine good neighbour) are also considered to be one event
It is also for Canadian events only.
When presented the Club agreed to honour the spirit of the
award and follow the guidelines laid out. If no Lab meets the qualifications of
participating in three separate events then it is not to be presented for that year.
These criteria are not subject to change, as per the donor,

Donated by Cheryl Young.
The award is offered in memory of the exceptional
performance in 2005 of CH Makaila’s Black Saxon, JH WC CD, call name "Oban"
owned by Sandra and Paul Bunt. Oban who was lost in a tragic accident
late that year before he was three years old after having earned his CD, JH
and CH within a 12 month period.
This award is an achievement award presented by the BCLRC
as an annual award when a Labrador Retriever owned by a member of the Club
displays performance excellence and versatility of skills, typical of the
Labrador breed, as follows:
Before the age of three years, the dog earns titles in
three separate disciplines at events sanctioned by the CKC in Conformation,
and Hunt Test or Field Trial, and Obedience. All contributing legs and
points must be achieved within a 12 month period. |
