The Border Terrier Club of America Trophy Table
|
The trophy table at the BTCA National Specialty is truly
a sight to
behold! Many of the trophies are steeped in the history of the Club
while others are more recent additions. But all reflect the Club's
recognition of the dogs who earn the top accolades at our premier
annual event as well as the role played by their owners and breeders.
The trophies that grace our table each year fall into
two categories:
- Challenge
trophies offered
through
the Border Terrier Club of America, Inc. for competition at its shows
only.
For permanent posession the trophy must be won three times by the same
owner, not necessarily with the same dog, nor at consecutive
shows.
- Perpetual
trophies offered
through
the Border Terrier Club of America, Inc. for competition at its shows
only
These trophies cannot be retired but remain the property of the BTCA
A commemorative item
such as a
plaque or a certificate with the Trophy name and the winner's name
is given at the awards banquet for all the challenge
trophies.
The splendour of the trophy table and the treasured
commemorative items truly reflect the generosity of our members - Thank You!
Now we invite you all to share in (and perhaps
contribute to) this
work in progress and also take a walk down memory lane by selecting the
trophy name to see a list of winners or going to the end of each trophy
section for a list of National Specialty winners through the years. You
may also click on the small trophy photos shown on this page to see an
enlargement with plaque and names where possible.
Like the information on this page, the photos are a work in progress.
