ISCA Annual Awards Program for Members

Annual Awards for Member Competition 2008

Through the generosity of the members listed herein, the Irish Setter Club of America, Inc. offers its Annual Special Awards for wins at events held from January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2008, if claimed by members in good standing continuously through the time when the award was earned and to the time it is presented. Trophies will be awarded automatically to the Breeders of dogs winning the Best of Breed, Best Dog, Best Bitch, Best Sire, and Best Matron trophies, providing they are members in good standing. All offerings are made with the understanding that the findings of the Board of Directors of the club as to awards shall be final.

In judging the merits of the claims, only awards made at licensed AKC shows, obedience trials, tracking trials, agility trials, rally trials, field trials, or hunting tests will be considered. Claims must be based on dog show records as published in the AKC Gazette, which will be considered the official record.

Claims submitted by members joining the Club during the course of the year will be credited only with wins made while members. Where ownership of a dog is transferred during the course of the year, either owner, if a member in good standing, may claim trophies for wins made while the dog was shown under his or her ownership only. In case of co-ownership, all owners and co-owners must be members.

IMPORTANT: If membership is not renewed by January 31 of the current year the member(s) are not eligible for awards for the previous year nor will wins be counted for current year until membership is renewed, and further it is the responsibility of the member to verify their status of membership by contacting the membership chairman, Dave Schafer at dschafer@ix.netcom.com .

Class wins and points acquired after obtaining championship status may not be claimed. In the case of ties in claims for awards based on the number of wins or number of points acquired, the award will be made to the winner which defeated the greater number of dogs.

To be eligible, a separate claim for each trophy and medal must be received by the awards chairman not later than February 28, 2009 on forms (or copies) obtained from the awards chairman or this website.
