Performance Breeder of the Year
The breeder of record of any dog or dogs accruing the most total points will be awarded the title "CCAA Performance Breeder of the Year". In order to be considered, there must be a minimum of 400 points, ALL of which must be earned out of the category “Sport” as per the current CCAA Performance Points Schedule during the calendar year (January 1st to December 31st). This threshold is subject to board re-evaluation once points submission deadline is met. The breeder must be a CCAA member in good standing at the time of competition. There is a one hundred (100) sport point bonus for the “Performance Cane Corso of the Year”.
NOTE: Health Certification Points will be counted when matched by "Sport" category points per individual dog.
Examples:
- RN (50 "Sport" points) + PennHip (50 points) = 100 Points
- NAP (25 "Sport" points) + PennHip (50 points) ≠ 75 points. In this case, there are not enough "Sport" points to get the full value of the PennHip Cert. The counted total would be 50 points.
- CGC (25 "Temperament" points) + PennHip (50 points) ≠ 75 points. In this case, there are no "Sport" points so the counted total would be 25 points.
To be considered for any of the above titles:
- The owner of the dog must be a member in good standing of the CCAA at the time of points submission.
- Points must be submitted no later than midnight on January 31st of the following year.
- All submissions must be accompanied by proof of title or certificate. Example: copy of score sheet, title paper, certificate, etc.
- Because the title certificate may, in some cases, take time to generate, initial submission of the points may be made with out immediate proof, as long as such proof is submitted in a timely manner thereafter.
- Points must be submitted by filling out a CCAA Points Submission Sheet.
