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.

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: 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. • Not all titling organizations are recognized under this program (for example, only CKC or AKC Earthdog titles, or Barn Hunt Association Barn Hunt titles, are eligible for points for ratting sports in the CTCC Versatility Award Program). • Please contact a committee member prior to submitting your application if you have questions about the eligibility of a title, a titling organization, or a particular achievement.
