Dracdog Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 I have just had a chance to properly read the January Dog World. They are initiating a new award to fillin the gap between Champ & Grand Champ. They are a Gold, Silver & Bronze awards you get bronze at 250, Silver at 500 and Gold at 750. I think this is a brilliant Idea as it may keep people from loosing interest in the long road between the existing Champ & Grand Champ. It is only in Qld for now but if it works they say it will hopfully go national. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owned by Shelties Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 (edited) Great idea, hope it takes off Edited January 12, 2010 by Owned by Shelties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelsun Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Interesting idea.....definately would work to keep people interested and let others know how far along they are on the track! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aziah Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 I like the idea Me too, I think it was a good move to trail it I'm sure it will be an incentive for many... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austerra Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Great idea, especially for minority breeds that find it difficult to get big points at shows (can take years for some to even get near the grand). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lappiemum Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Great idea, especially for minority breeds that find it difficult to get big points at shows (can take years for some to even get near the grand). With the new rules, its unlikely that many of the minority breeds will even get the Grand Ch status. At least this is something more to aim for...(ponders a QLD move...LOL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazz Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 I'd be more interested in something to strive for after the grand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayly Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 I hope it goes National! We would have a reason to keep showing Ruby if that was the case! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mirawee Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Sounds like a great idea to me too I also wish they would make the Grand Ch title a bit fairer and get rid of the 25 point CC bit... I don't see why breeds with higher numbers only have to beat their own breed for the title yet everyone else has to get BIG (beating the dogs with large breed numbers!)

Tambaqui Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Great Idea! Gives you a focus after the champion title! But I'm confused, are they going to give you the "Bronze Champion" Title? or is there going to be another naming for it? Like Bronze Champion [Dog Name], especially if you use it on DogzOnline or Dogs Papers/Magazine/Website. What about catalogue, would they just refer to Aust Ch or Bronze Ch? Am I just over thinking or analyzing? I'm just curious to learn more about these new awards! -Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capanash Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 I don't think it is a new title... just an award Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carluke Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 I also like the idea, similar in context to New Zealands awards, and what is awarded by some cat soceities. Cheers Kate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current name for them is Qld Bronze Award, Qld Silver Award & Qld Gold Award. I suppose if it does go national then the name will change and it will become a title. I wonder if they have had anyone apply for them yet. Maybe not seeing as it only just started. Edited January 13, 2010 by Dracdog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceilidh Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Ithink this is a great idea, gives you smaller targets to aim for after the Champion title instead of that daunting 900 points!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jsk Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 So does it apply to a dog that already has the say 250 points??? or only those that get the points from now on?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WreckitWhippet Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 I can't really see the point in having anything that is not a "title". Anyone can advertise how many points there dog or bitch is on. The clincher for me would be if it's free of charge or do you have to pay for your "award" . Would be a good money making exercise for the CCCQ wouldn't it, especially if they don;t have to reprint any certificates. The logistics of it would be a nightmare, going through all of the applications for the awards , making sure the points add up and then doing it possibly 5 times in the show career of the dog. I can't see them doing it for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
