NOTES
Wessala Pride of Golden Pine was donated in 1985. For a year, there was a lot of controversy between the donor, Marilu Semans and various Board members as she did not want it to be a challenge trophy. From her handwritten letter of Feb. 27, 1985: "Would you make sure, please, that the donor is Mrs. Josiah T. Semans so that Jo Semans is an integral part. Thank you. Unless we get this done, there won't be anyone left who will know who we are! Young people with Golden Pine in their pedigree look at me as though I had been reincarnated! "
She finally did accept the terms. The trophy is described as a 12" Revere bowl mounted on a walnut or mahogany base. There is an article and a picture of the trophy in the GRNews--unfortunately the copy I have is undated but it's part of the series on trophies that Ruthe S. Berendsen did.

NOTES
Subject: Gilnockie Challenge Cup
There was no resolution per se on this. It and the Rockhaven Speedwell Pluto Challenge Cup were donated at the same time and were the first trophies given to the GRCA. Both were donated by Mr and Mrs S S Magoffin, to recognize the equal importance of specialty club field trials and bench shows.
The Gilnockie Cup was named after B.M. Armstrong, of Gilnockie fame, who was instrumental in securing the recognition of the golden retriever as a separate breed in both the Canadian and American kennel clubs.
There is a two-page article in the GRN in March/April 1991 on the Gilnockie trophy and one in March/April 1990 on the Pluto trophy. I can send you copies of both of these if you don't have them.

THE BILL LESTER MEMORIAL AWARD
GOLDEN RETRIEVER CLUB OF AMERICA
WESTERN REGIONAL AREA
There appears to have been some recent confusion regarding the prestigious Bill Lester memorial Award. It is not new—it has been in existence since 1955.
Mr. William B. Lester, Bill to all of us, was an officer of the parent club and a resident of the West Coast. He was very much interested in furthering dual Golden Retrievers. He felt that Goldens should be able to work in the fields and that they should be beautiful, and he also felt that they should not only win on the bench, but be capable in the field. He supported and placed in both bench shows and field trials.
Bill had been a test pilot for new airplanes in the 40’s and early 50’s. He also tested pilots from time to time to check their abilities for commercial airlines.
After all this, he was injured in a hit and run accident near Salinas, lost his ability to speak, and lay for over a year in the hospital. In 1955 a group of people, mostly Californians, put together a sum of money to buy a silver trophy called the Bill Lester Memorial Award. The award would go to the owner and dog which had shown the most competence in field trials and show in the same calendar year. At that time the trophy was a challenge trophy and could be retired after winning three times, though not necessarily with the same dog. A committee combined of show and field trial people were to make the decision. The committee would consist of six (not more than nine) and be people that were competing in both field and bench. The first committee selected were people from Southern California, the Bay Region and the Northern section, which included Washington and Oregon. There were also alternates, in case any of these people could not serve. Later it was found that two from each region were enough, with the chairman to cast the deciding vote if there was a conflict.
The dog would compete in both show and field in the same calendar year, and would be judged on the basis of age and accomplishments suited to that age. It should compete in licensed AKC trials and licensed shows, as both are competitive, and have rankings as to difficulty and achievement. For example, if the dog was outstanding in the Derby, and also placed in show, this was taken into consideration, while dogs more than two years would have to achieve in qualifying stakes and in bench, and/or in Open, Amateur Open and Bench, all in the same calendar year. This would help us assess dogs of different ages and in different stages of competition.
The first two winners in successive years, was dual Ch. Craigmatr’s Dustrack, owned by Dr. Forest L. Flashman. Dr. Flashman won it a third time with Ch. Tule Topper, a dog that had done very well on the bench and also had done will in qualifying stakes. At this time Dr. Flashman could have retired the trophy, but preferred to rededicate it as a perpetual trophy, never to be retired, and on the same basis and conditions under which he had won.
The next winner was Ch. Donnybrook, owned by Edward Sumpter of Washington. This dog was the outstanding Derby Dog of his day. He ran in 12-15 Derby stakes and placed in many of them, including several firsts. He won a 5 pointy major on the bench within two weeks after his strenuous Derby season, and soon completed his bench championship. Donnybrook and his owner Mr. Edward Sumpter were the 4th winner and the first to win under the new dedication.

CH AFC RONAKERS NOVATO CAIN by Gertrude Fischer
Mr.Desmond Mactavish bought a Golden Retriever puppy approximately four years old - the puppy was registered Ronakers Novato Cain. Mr. Mactavish decided to call the dog "Bow" as a short quick call name. He enjoyed the puppy and furthered his education in several ways. He noticed the quickness to learn, the dog's interest in the field, and his general happy personality. When Mr. Mactavish went on a trip, he left the dog with Mr. William Agnew who continued his field training. Mr. Agnew is an amateur, a popular and talented field trial judge, and an excellent filed trial marshal. He enjoyed t r a i n in g B ow . O n M r. Mactavish's return, he took over the training and furthered the dog in the field and entered and ran Bow in field trials. The results of t his training, along with Mr. Mactavish's continued interest, were successes in several field trials on the Pacific Coast. In one, he earned the necessary first place win in t he amateur stake to give Bow his amateur field trial chmpion title. In 1970, Mr'. Mactavish sent Bow on the show circuit in March and again in November after the west coast trial season was over and Bow completed his bench championship. Bow continued his successes in 1970 in field trials, getting several seconds in the amateur, some thirds, some fourths, some JAM 's and the ne cessary first place to compete in the 1971 National Amateur stake. So he did compete in both areas, bench and field, in the same calendar year which entitled him for consideration for t he Bill Lester Award, This was voted upon by a committee selected by the Chairman and approved by our regional Vice President, Mrs. Roberta Anderson.
The Bill Lester Memorial Award was established in 1954 in memory of Mr. William (Bill) Lester who believed that a Golden Retrievercould compete in both the show ring and field trials the same year. Mr. Lester had been interested in genetics and had worked with Mr. Henry deRoulet in his breeding program. They had been following suggestions by Ojvind Winge of Denmark, and had some success in their program . Mr, Lester was seriously injured in an accident and was ill for several months before he died. The western region had appreciated his interest so much that they se t aside some money for a beautiful sterling silver award The name of each winner is inscribed on the sterling silver piece and a smaller replica in silver plate of the piece is given to the winner to keep. Originally, the award could be won permanently af ter three wins, but not necessarily with the same dog. The late Dr. Forrest Flashman won the award three times, and rededicated it as a perpetual trophy. He won it a fourth time - t hen it was won by Mr.and Mrs. James Humphrey in 1960 wit h Tish II of Golden Anno Nuevo, t he only female to get her name on the silver bowl. The next time it was won was in 1964 when Mary and Edward Sumpter’s - outstanding derby dog, Ch. Donneybrook won it. His derby record had not been equaled in thirty years, and has not been equaled since that time by any dog of any breed. Although there were several people who might have competed favorably, their interest did not include both bench and field the same year, and so our current winner is AFC Ch. Ronakers Novato Cain, owned and enjoyed by Tav (Desmond Mactavish).

Taken from Vol. VII NO. 1 of The Golden Retriever News February, 1958 News of the passing of one of the breeds outstanding dogs was received near the end of 1957. Ch AFC Lorelei's Golden Rockbottom UD owned by Reinhard M Bischoff died during the night of December 22, 1957. Rocky had developed a small hematoma in one ear which was operated on. He never came out of the anesthetic and died by Bish's bedside.
A beautiful tribute written by "Torch" Flinn, who knew Rocky so well, follows:
"Nature bestows true greatness on so few on her children and Rocky, from the first, showed the signs of physical perfection, speed, courage, and intelligence that marked him as one apart.
With maturity he more than fulfilled his promise by becoming the only dog to ever attain the heights in every phase of dog work--A bench champion of far above average caliber evidenced by his many sporting group wins and best in show--A trial dog whose unfailing nose, bird sense, keenness, and speed never left him even at an age when dogs are expected to slow up--An obedience dog who in 1-1/2 years completed all three degrees among the highest scorers.
In his extremely short career as a sire he produced 6 champions and several qualified field trial dogs. Those who were fortunate enough to breed to him in his early youth should consider themselves honored and privileged to carry on his heritage."
* Honorary member of the GRCA Dual Champions Hall of Fame. The AKC does not recognize a Show Champion & Amateur Field Champion as a Dual Champion.
Editors note: Rocky's sire goes back within 3 generations to the famous breeding of CH Speedwell Pluto & Saffron Chipmonk. Rocky is in the background of many of our present day competitors through his most noted son - CH Little Joe of Tigathoe.

Sharon picked Ric up at 7 weeks of age and immediately started training him for his long and illustrious career. They were a team hard to beat for many years.
Shown winning his 100 th High in Trial, Ric was still competing at 13 years of age. He earned a 200 in Open B at the age of 12 in Houston, Texas. He earned over 3600 lifetime OTCH points (according to the old, original point system) and is still ranked nationally in the top ten. Ric won Super Dog at the Gaines Regional in Ann Arbor in April 1980 and went on to place 3rd at the 1980 Classic in Denver, Colorado (where he met Barty, his father).
Ric was the Ken L Ration Obedience winner in 1982 and 1983. He traveled with Sharon (He went everywhere with her) to New York City when they received their first Ken L Ration Award. He won the GRCA Toby Trigger award in 1982 and 1983.

Jeff Pepper moved that
whereas, the Golden Retriever Club of England has presented a beautiful bronze trophy depicting a reclining Golden Retriever and two pheasants, in celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the Golden Retriever Club of America,
and whereas, there was no formal instructions as to the awarding of this trophy,
and whereas, the G.R.C.A Board of Directors has established four Veteran Conformation Classes (two for dogs and two for bitches) at the National Specialty in order to acknowledge our magnificent veterans,
therefore, be it hereby resolved that the bronze statue trophy presented to the Golden Retriever Club of America by the Golden Retriever Club of England be awarded to the Best Veteran in Conformation Classes (owned by a G.R.C.A. member) at the National Specialty, commencing with the 50th National Specialty to be held in September, 1989, in Boulder, Colorado.

29. THE GOLDEN RETRIEVER CLUB -- ENGLAND, BEST VETERAN TROPHY
II $1,860.00 II
Awarded annually to the Best Veteran in Conformation Classes, owned by a GRCA member, at the National Specialty.
DONOR: Golden Retriever Club of England.
DESCRIPTION: This is a bronze trophy depicting a reclining Golden Retriever and two pheasants. The bronze measures 3" high by 6 1/4" wide x 3 7/8" deep. A narrow plate below reads "Golden Retriever of America 50th Anniversary, Presented by the Golden Retriever Club". This is placed on an overall 6-sided, 4-tiered base with an overall height of 13 1/8". The top oval wooden tier measures 1 3/8" high. The second tier down measures 4 1/4" high. The third tier down measures 6 7/8" high, while the foot measures 7/8" high by 15" wide x 9 1/2" deep. The overall weight measures 12.25 lb. The sculptor is Hilary Nightingale. She is most likely an English artist who is now deceased as no information was found for her.
The Shidoni Foundry near Santa Fe, New Mexico was sent detailed photos and specifications for many bronzes in this appraisal. They supplied replacement costs for these trophies, both the bronzes and the bases, as well as the plates and engravings. Their phone number is 505-988-8001. These estimates can be found in the addendum. They assume that enough of the original bronze image is intact so that they can make a good mold of the work into which the molten bronze is poured . Since they don't fabricate the piece from scratch, they can reproduce the image cheaply. The GRCA may want to consider having molds made by Shidoni of the more expensive bronzes prior to damage or loss. This would greatly facilitate their cheap replacement in the event of a loss. If the GRCA were to have to hire an artist to remake a model from scratch, replacement costs would be much higher, up to $2 ,000. higher. CONDITION: Excellent V

In reference to the BOB challenge trophy, Ch Sassafras Batteries Not Included SDHF OS. We are in the process of remaking and renaming the trophy in his Great Grandson's name Ch Summit's Mister Bojangles SDHF OS.
I know you need to know the construction of this trophy. A portion of it is finished and the remainder of it is being done by an artist from CA Any changes are under your discretion. Description of the honor:
It is to have a base made of basic white marble with gold lacing. The base is only eight Inches wide (In case of fire place mantles) and twenty inches long by ten inches high. There will be enough room for one hundred present and future breed winner honoree' s names. There plates will be done in gold. Over this marble base slightly off to the right will be a bronze statue of a golden resembling Hobo in a lying position . Directly behind it is an eight by ten inch laser cut crystal piece resembling Hobo that is base lit. The whole trophy when appeared at by front view will only be twenty by twenty inches.
There is nothing absurd or overdone with this trophy. Neither is it too fragile. It definitely will be an elegant original classic.
It will be securely crated with easy assembly. Finish date is in August. It will reside with Susan Lusa, Hobo's first owner. Her residence is in the Seattle area. It will remain there until it is to be delivered and unveiled at the Seattle national.
We are excited and honored to display this piece at future nationals and in other golden retriever fancier's homes. If you have any questions please contact Sue Lusa at (206) 498-2229 or Beth Johnson at (920) 246-5029.
Graciously, Hobo's ovmers
Susan Lusa, Beth Johnson and Rev Alan Klessig

HISTORICAL NOTES
FC RIP -- THE FIRST GOLDEN FIELD TRIAL CHAMPION IN NORTH AMERICA
A86933 11-23-35 -- 8-24-41 Breeder, John K. Wallace Owner, Paul Bakewell III
Rip was the last puppy sold in the litter produced by two English imported Goldens, Speedwell Rueben and Speedwell Tango, who later completed her show championship. "Speedwell" was the kennel name of Mr. and Mrs. Evers-Swindell in England, who had also bred and exported the influential Am.-Can.Ch. Speedwell Pluto. Both Reuben and Tango had been imported by John K. Wallace of St Louis, Missouri, in the middle 1930s. Rip was a gangly youngster, rich golden in color, with a distinctive white blaze down the middle of his face. White markings were not at all uncommon in those days.
For the princely sum of $35.00, Rip went to a young man named Paul Bakewell III. Wallace got Bakewell interested in the very new sport of retriever trials, and Rip made his first trial placement at the first trial held by the Mississippi Valley Kennel Club in April of 1938, taking 2nd in a Non-winners stake (precursor to the Qualifying). MVKC was one of the first clubs in the Midwest to hold retriever trials; both John K Wallace and his brother, Mahlon B Wallace (Audlon Kennels), were early members and supporters. Many of MVKC's trials were held at the Dardenne Hunting Club at Pereque, on the shores of the Mississippi River north of St. Louis.
Rip had a few placements in amateur stakes, which at that time did not carry championship- points, with Bakewell handling, and then his first placement in Open All-Age was a 2nd in April of 1939. After a string of a 4th and 3 seconds, he completed his FC with a first at the MVKC trial in October 1939. From then on, Rip was on a roll. By November he had earned Hall of Fame status with GRCA. In one memorable 8 day period in November of 1940, he won three consecutive firsts at trials on the East Coast.
Paul Bakewell handed his dog in Open stakes in a day when owners almost never ventured outside Amateur or the lesser stakes, and the owners' own professionals trained and handled the dogs. The long-legged, muscular Rip was deemed by some to be "jittery" on the line, and bets were made as to when he would break -- but he never did. He is reported to have retrieved under judgment some 236 birds without a miss-- a remarkable record.
Rip won the Field & Stream Cup, open to all breeds, in 1939 and 1940, and the GRCA's Gilnockie Challenge Cup three successive years (1939, 1940, 1941). The GRCA's FC Rip Challenge Trophy is offered in his memory for the dog owned by a member of the GRCA that places highest in the National Specialty field trial.
His lifetime points total 63- accumulated in less than 2 1/2 years, and that doesn't include the 4 fourth places in Open, and the Amateur placements (neither of which carried points then); those would have added 9 more points. He qualified for the National Retriever Championship in 1941, but died before he had the opportunity to try to add that to his laurels. He was not even six years old -- who knows what might have been, had his time been longer.
Six of Rip's offspring earned QAA (***) status, and one was a show champion with field placements. He was the grandsire of the first Dual Champion Golden (DCh Stilrovin Rip's Pride), two other FChs and a Best in show winner, and great-grandsire of NFC- FC-AFC Beautywood's Tamarack. Rip's name will still be found far back in the pedigrees of many fine Goldens in all areas of endeavor.
Paul Bakewell had other retrievers at this Deer Creek kennels, both Goldens and Labradors, but Rip was the FIRST in so many ways; and no doubt nothing could quite replace him.

HISTORICAL NOTES:
From the Sungold Website: Here are a couple early photos of Val Walker (Fisher) and her Goldens.
Val with the 1st "Lad", circa 1952
Val with the 2nd "Lad", circa 1957
About Us
Goldens have been part of our family since 1948, when Val’s folks purchased their first “Lad” as a hunting dog. He was a grandson of Stilrovin Bullet and Gilnockie Coquette, the famous pair who produced a number of early Field Champs. In 1955, Val’s father purchased his 2nd hunting golden, another “Lad”. This dog was a son of FC-AFC OakDcreek’s Sir Dorchester and out of a daughter of NFC Beautywood Tamarack. It was this dog that fueled the Fisher’s interest in Field Trials, and he was run in AKC licensed trials in the late 50’s. At that time, Val was more interested in horses than dogs. That was to change in 1965. The 3rd Lad was purchased, and he became FC-AFC Misty’s Sungold Lad, CDX. Initially purchased as a hunting dog, “Lad” was taken to his 1st “fun” trial in the summer of '65. Val was too bashful to run him, so Dad did, and won the puppy stake! Val took over from there, and among other things, became the youngest woman handler to ever run a dog in a National Retriever Championship. Lad became the 1st Golden to win two Double Headers. He won a number of trophies for high point field Golden in the Nation. He was the all time high-point Golden for many years, and was the first Golden to be elected to the Retriever Field Trial Hall of Fame.
Val ran Lad and later FC-AFC Sungold Sprite CD in Retriever Field trials in the NW, where she met Jay Walker in 1970 at the National Amateur Championship. Jay was running the youngest dog in the trial, FC-AFC Ern Bar’s Twinkle Boots (Lab). They married in 1971, and with Val’s Goldens and Jay’s Labs, established their kennel in Medford, Oregon retaining Sungold for Goldens and Trieven for the Labradors.
Besides field trials, Jay and Val share a common interest in hunting. Val was the 1st woman to get a hunter’s safety card in Washington state at the age of 13 and did a lot of pheasant hunting with her father. Jay and Val hunted waterfowl in the Klamath Basin, along with Pheasant, Quail and Chukar in Eastern Oregon. They always used their Field Champion Goldens and Labs hunting, proving those who claimed field trial dogs can’t hunt wrong !
After being involved with competitive field trials for over 35 years , Walker’s decided to make a move to Wyoming. Jay had become an ardent big game hunter, and Wyoming is certainly the place to pursue that interest! With so many things to do, from riding in the mountains and fly fishing in the summer, to hunting big game and birds in the fall and winter, Walkers decided to take a hiatus from competitive field trials. Both had judged National and National Amateur Retriever Trials. Jay was past President of the National Amateur Club, and was on the AKC Committee which set up the original blueprint for the Hunt Tests. They had finished over 22 AKC Field and Amateur Field Champion titles on their dogs, as well as several Senior and Master Hunters. It was decided it was time to just enjoy the dogs and hunting! With bird and waterfowl hunting in the winter and early spring, to horse backing in the mountains and fly fishing in the summer and big game hunting in the fall, there is just no time for training field trial dogs at present ! Val does have a young female she co-owns with Terry Woods of Fresno, California which is running in Field Trials, and recently became one of the very few Qualified All Age female Goldens in the Nation!
The Walker ranch in Wyoming consists of 2,500 acres of excellent bird habitat, on which was developed a Hunt Club. Pheasant, quail and chukar inhabit the ranch, and offer fantastic hunting opportunities. Waterfowl hunting of both duck and geese in the area is very good and in the coming year, the Walker’s will have two good sized lakes for additional Waterfowl habitat.

Valerie Fisher Walker has generously donated a lovely sterling bowl to be known as the FC-AFC Misty’s Sungold Lad, CDX Perpetual Trophy.
PURPOSE… to be awarded annually to the winner of the Amateur all-age stake at the trial designated by the Club as its annual Specialty Trial, providing the owner and dogs handler is/are members of the GRCA. The stake must have sufficient qualified dogs to carry Championship points and will not be awarded in any year that it does not.
“Lad” has been the high point golden for the last five years, he is the only Golden to win two double- headers and is not only the high-point living golden, but is high point golden of all time. Ha has been amateur handled to all of his points. I guess Val and “Lad” were a natural to donate the Amateur all-age trophy at the first GRCA Amateur. We all thank you so much.

Christopher Burton - Beau Brummel Trophy
By Ruthe S. Berendsen
Reprinted from GR News January/February 1978
the time, enthusiasm and money to breed Goldens as a hobby, producing gundogs for himself and his friends. At one rime his Rockhaven Kennels had 98 Goldens in residence. Col.Magoffin lived in Vancouver but he was from Minnesota and often returned there for hunting.
Thus Goldens were introduced ro the Mid• west where the first field trials were started in 1935. The Mid-West became the center of retriever activity and it was there that Goldens first became well known, because of their beauty, grace and efficiency. The founding of the GRCA could be considered a family affair. Mrs. Magoffin was a sister to Ralph and Ben Boalt and to Mrs. Henry 8. Christian. Between them can be found almost all of the foundation lines of the breed . . . Rockhaven , Gilnockie, Stilrovin, Beavertail , Gunnerman and Goldwood .. and all were very influential in the formation of the Golden Retriever Club of America. Although some Goldens were known to have been in Canada and the States prior to 1932, it was the combination of Speedwell Pluto, Col. Magoffin and his next Golden acquisitions (litter sisters Saffron Cipmonk and Saffron Penelope) that led to serious interest in the breed. Breedings of Pluto and Cipmonk or Penelope are behind almost any North American-bred Golden Retriever.
According to people who saw AM.-CAN. CH. SPEED• WELL PLUTO and his get, we were most fortunate to have had him as our prepotent foundation sire. Before coming to Canada, in England he had a placement in a field trial and a third at a conformation show. He was a magnificent animal - big, powerful, handsome and courageous. Although not run in trials in North America, he was an exceptional This lovely new trophy was offered for the first time at the gundog, retrieving for hours off high rocks into the icy 1977 National Specialty in California. It was given by waters of Vancouver Bay. He was the first American Christopher Burton in mem ory of his first Golden, Champion and had a BlS at Puget Sound in 1933, as well as ROCKHAVEN BEAU BRUMMEL (Can.•*•). It is a Canadian placements. perpetual trophy to be awarded each year to the GRCA member who owns and handles the Golden placing highest in the Derby Stake at the National Specialty. Researching the background for this article has been a joy! Who does nor thrill to the details of how it all hap pened, for if even one thing had been different, we would not now have what are "our" beloved Goldens! I could not contact Mr. Burton for background, as he retired in August and he and Mrs. Burton left Vancouver for a I n a letter written July 4, 1963 to visit to his native England. Needing information about Mrs. M. C. Zwang, Mr. Burton wrote: "Sam Beau Brummel, naturally I called Betty Gay. Betty had Magoffin and I were talking Retrievers at his information about all of Mr. Burton 's Goldens, and home in 1932 and I said 'Why don't you get a between us, we came up with this article. Golden? My family has shot over them in We hope to get more de• tails about Beau Brummel from Mr. England for years.' And so then and there I Burton when he re turns from England. wrote a cable to my brother-in-law in England and asked him to find a good young Golden not It It was through Mr. Burton that Col.S S. Magoffin imported his first over 3 years and out came Speedwell Pluto. For Golden Retriever, SPEEDWELL PLUTO, who was the my Suggestion Sam gave me the pick of the foundation sire of North American Goldens. Col. Magoffin had litter ex Saffron Cipmonk by Speedwell Pluto. I have Pluto's grandson today." That pick of the litter puppy from Pluto ex Chipmonk was ROCK HAVEN BEAU BRUMMEL (Can.•••). He was whelped in April 1936. In 1939, Mr. Burton went into the Army for the duration of World War I I. Lt. Col. Burton returned to civilian life in 1946. In 1947, at 11, Beau Brummel was bred co Rockhaven Betty and produced a litter Beau Brummel died in Dec. 1948, at 12 years and 8 months. The Golden Mr. Burton selected from the Brummel ex Betty litter became Rockhaven Beau Royal (Can.***), who was bred at 9, and Mr. Burton 's selection from this breeding became Vic's Winsome Beau York (Can.***), who was born in 1957. York was bred to a Canadian bitch from Goldrange Kennels. It would be interesting to find out how many Golden pedigrees go back to these three breedings. There were significant similarities in Mr.Burton's three Goldens. Each one was qualified to run in Canadian Open All-Age Stakes, and each one had a long life. Mr. Burton is a true gentleman, in all the ways one may use the word. We thank him for his great service to the foundation of the breed in North America .

Chris Miele discussed the GRCA EXCELLENCE IN AGILITY TROPHY. The original intent of the trophy was to encourage people with Golden Retrievers to compete in agility. The statistics for the trophy are difficult to compute. Chris would like to revise the requirements for the trophy to make it a trophy to be awarded for performance at the National Specialty.
(RESOLUTION NS 04-94).
Chris Miele moved that whereas the GRCA Excellence in Agility Trophy was adopted by the GRCA Board of Directors by Resolution 99-35, and was first awarded in 2000, and whereas the statistics for this Trophy are difficult to compute and the guidelines for the trophy do not meet the original goals for the awarding of the trophy, be it hereby resolved that Resolution 99-35 be amended and the following requirements for winning the trophy be adopted:
The GRCA Excellence in Agility Trophy will be awarded to the GRCA member whose dog or bitch achieves the following at the National Specialty Agility Trial:
1. The Golden who has a Double Q in the Excellent A or B class at the National Specialty Agility Trial. Jump heights are combined.
2. If there are several dogs who meet the first qualification, the next consideration is the dog who is the most seconds under standard course time in the combined Standard and Jumpers courses.
3. The third level tie breaker would be the dog who has the faster course time in the standard class.
4. If there are 2 days of agility, both days will be combined. The dog with two Double Q’s and the lowest combined times would be awarded the trophy. (Note: The board determined that there would only be ONE event of each kind at the National Specialty.)
5. The Agility Trial Chair is responsible for reporting the result to the Trophy Curator at the completion of the Trial.
6. If there is no Agility Trial offered at the National Specialty, or if no dog attains a Double Q, the trophy will not be awarded for that year.
Motion was seconded by Terry Thornton and prevailed by the following vote:

NOTES
August 18, 2004
GRCA Excellence in Agility Trophy
Donated by Chris Miele
This trophy was first awarded at the 2000 National Specialty.
The trophy is to be awarded to the GRCA member in good standing, whose Golden Retriever achieves the highest number of points within a calendar year, according to the attached point schedule. Resolution 99-35.
The point schedule is currently as follows:
1 point for every clean round with a score of 100 at the Excellent A or Excellent B level in both Standard and Jumpers classes.
Additional points of fraction sof a point are awarded for each second or fraction of a second under the applicable Standard Course Time.
In the case of a tie, preference is given to the dog with the highest number of points in the Standard Class and if there is still a tie, then the total number of placements will be considered.
For the secondary tie breaker, placements will count 5 points for first place, 4 points for second place, 2 points for third place and one point for fourth place.
When this trophy was proposed, AKC agility was in its infancy It is in its current form lacking the element of surprise and does not reward the up and coming dog in Excellent.
Furthermore, it does not meet one of the original goals of stimulating interest in the sport of agility for the Golden Retriever.
I would like to propose the following revision to the Excellence in Agility Trophy: That this become a National Specialty Trophy awarded to the dog or bitch who achieves the following at the National Specialty Agility Trial:
1. The Golden who has a Double Q in the Excellent B or Excellent BP class at the National Specialty Agility Trial. Jump heights are to be combined. 2. If there are several dogs who meet the first qualification, the next consideration is the dog who is the most seconds under standard course time in the combined Standard and Jumpers courses. 3. The third level tie breaker would be the dog who has the faster course time in the standard class. 4. If there are 2 days of agility, both days will be combined. So the dog with two double q’s and the lowest combined times would be awarded the trophy.

This is a perpetual trophy to be awarded annually to the highest scoring Golden Retriever owned by a member in good standing of the GRCA in a regular obedience class who is also shown in a regular conformation class at the show designated as the GRCA National Specialty. The dog/bitch may be shown by a handler. The high score in obedience is to be handicapped to allow the more difficult classes a bonus point:
OBEDIENCE REQUIREMENTS
1. The owner/handler must register their intention to compete for this trophy with the Obedience Chairman. The dog must be shown in a regular obedience class and a regular conformation class. 2. To be eligible for the trophy, the dog must have a score of at least 190 points and must compete in, but not necessarily place or win, in conformation. 3. The Obedience classes for consideration for the trophy are: Novice A & B Open A & B Utility A & B
The highest scoring dog/bitch would then be handicapped as follows to allow a bonus point added to the score to reflect the increased difficulty of the Open and Utility classes: Novice - 0 Open - 1 Utility - 2
4. If two or more dogs have the same score, a run-off would be required. It is the responsibility of the owner/handler to be present at the end of obedience competition to participate in this run-off. If only one dog in a run-off competition appears, this dog will be designated the winner by default.
Should all run-off participants not appear in a prompt manner, the winner will be designated as the dog from the highest class: i.e. Utility B, Utility A, Open B, Open A, Novice B, Novice A.
CONFORMATION REQUIREMENTS
1. The owner/handler must register their intention to compete for this trophy with the Conformation Chairman. They must be shown in a regular obedience class, with a minimum qualifying score of 190 or higher, and a regular conformation class. 2. The conformation classes for consideration for the trophy are:
Puppy 6-9 months, 9-12 months
12-18 months
Novice
Bred By Exhibitor
American Bred
Open
Best of Breed
3. 3. Dogs competing in Best of Breed by virtue of a win from a non-regular class are not eligible to compete for this trophy.
This trophy is a crystal piece made by Steuben titled "best friend". It is 6 1/2 inches high and crafted by Taf Lebel Schaefer in l999. Steuben describes it as follows:
'The "true blue, best friend" qualities of steadfast loyalty, faithful companionship and protective vigilance are elegantly captured in the shimmering abstract form of our dog. The relaxed posture suggests happiness and contentment, while the engaging and intelligent eyes reveal resilience and courage.
The cost of this piece is $995.00 and with the NY sales tax of 82.09, the total cost of the piece is $1077.09. We will have a custom base made for this piece which will provide a secure place for it on top, a brass plate with the name of the trophy will be on the front of the base and there will be brass plates on the other three sides for 24 to 30 names depending on the final size of the base. The base will be sturdy, but not too heavy and we will also provide a very secure shipping case for the trophy. Both the base and packing case will be custom made to exactly fit the crystal piece so the final dimensions will not be available until the piece is approved so we may purchase it and arrange for the custom work. The total weight will be well under 40 pounds. The price will be determined after the piece is purchased and taken to have the base customized.
