Merit Awards

 In 2005 the Hoosier working Australian Shepherd Club began offering merit awards to club members.  

We are proud of everything our members do with their dogs and believe these accomplishments should be recognized.  Our format is different than other clubs' because of the diversity of our membership.  

 

Many own breeds other than aussies, some own non-herding breeds. 
Therefore,  these awards are not limited to ASCA sanctioned events, 
but to any sanctioned events and also service work such as pet therapy or search work.

Merit Awards will be awarded at the Christmas Party held at year-end.  

Members who have helped at club functions or done other volunteer work for the club during the Merit year are eligible to participate.

examples of club participation are, but not limited to, the following:

holding an office

helping at work days

helping at a club function, such as judges helpers at obedience, stock, etc.

setting out stock at the trial

attending work days

volunteering to be on committees, etc.

Work requirements can be documented on the Merit form by clicking the link below.  The text box at the bottom of the form can be used for this.

If you are unsure, you can just e-mail your work documentation to Michelle

Eligible members with dogs who have completed a title or performed service work between  October 1, 2007 and September 29, 2008 should click on the link below and complete the form.  

Data for 2010 will be compiled by Lynne Gish.  Please contact her with questions about the program or problems with the form.
