  • Versatility Award Application 2021 Revision
    The Cairn Terrier Club of Canada Versatility Award Program Versatility Award: To earn a Versatility Award, a dog must demonstrate versatility through achievement in a variety of dog sports and activities. Versatility Excellent Award: To earn a Versatility Excellent Award, a dog must not only show versatility through achievement in a variety of dog sports and activities, but must also demonstrate advancement beyond a beginner’s level in several of these activities. This award thus has a requirement for a minimum of 2 points per activity in at least 4 Categories. A dog that earns the Versatility Excellent award must also demonstrate that it conforms to the Breed Standard in structure/temperament and/or function, resulting in a requirement for Conformation and/or Earthdog/Barn Hunt titles. Definitions: Category: A group of related sports or activities. Activity An individual activity or sport within a designated category. Where there is more than one activity per category, points may be claimed for each activity. Level: Title or performance level (each line in the table represents a level). Where more than one titling organization offers titles for a particular activity, points will be awarded for only a single titling organization at each level. Please note that not all titles are awarded points. • For some titling organizations, only higher-level titles are awarded points (for example, points are awarded in Barn Hunt for titles at the Open level and above, while points are awarded for Tricks titles at the Advanced level and above). • No additional points are awarded for titles higher than those listed in the tables.
