Annual Awards

Conformation :  

The Challenge Trophy for Best Westie by Breed, Group and Best in Show Points
For this award, all dogs defeated at the Best of Breed, Group, and Best in Show levels are totalled and the dog or bitch with the most dogs defeated wins. Winner must have defeated 1 dog at the breed level.

The Lee Outerbridge Memorial Trophy
For the breeder of Best Westie - Challenge Trophy Winner.

CWHWTC Trophy for Best in Breed Wins
This award is calculated on the number of dogs defeated at the Best of Breed level. In case of a tie, the number of wins is the deciding factor. Winner must have defeated 1 dog at the breed level.

The Adams Memorial Trophy
For the breeder of Best in Breed Wins - CWHWTC Trophy Winner.

CWHWTC Trophy For Best of Opposite Sex Wins
This award is calculated on the number of dogs defeated at the Best Opposite Sex level. In case of a tie, the number of wins is the deciding factor.  

The Bradley Award for Winners Dog (Up To Completion of Title)
Since all dogs need 10 points to get their title, this award is calculated on the number of dogs defeated until the dog or bitch has reached 10 points. No wins after the 10 CKC points are obtained are counted unless a 3 point win at one show gives said dog or bitch 11 points, in which case the last show where the 10 points are obtained is then counted, as there is no way to separate these points and dogs defeated. If a Group win was obtained, then the number of Best of Breed dogs defeated is subtracted from the total dogs defeated for the Group win. 

The B.G. Frame Memorial Trophy for Winners Bitch (Up To Completion of Title)
This is calculated in the same way as the Bradley Award for Winners Dog.

The Jeudwine Award for Best of Winners (Up To Completion of Title)
This award is calculated on the number of dogs defeated at the Best of Winners level. In case of a tie, the number of wins is the deciding factor.

The Manderly Puppy Challenge Award
Donated by Lillian Palmer. This award is calculated on the number of dogs defeated in any Group and Best of Breed as well as Best Puppy in Group and Best Puppy in Show placing. Puppies are automatically awarded 2 points for a Best Puppy in Group win and 3 points for a Best Puppy in Show win. Should a Group placing be obtained by a puppy, then the number of dogs defeated at the Breed level will be subtracted.

The Bencruachen Award
For the breeder of Best Puppy - The Manderly Puppy Challenge Award winner.

The Skyehigh Trophy for Best Bred By Exhibitor Dog
Donated by Lindy Barrow. This award is calculated on the number of dogs defeated at the Breed, Group and Best in Show level. Again, if a Group win is obtained, the number of dogs defeated at the Breed level will be deducted. The breeder and the owner of the dog must be the same person without regard to the person handling the dog in the ring.
.

The Carter Memorial Trophy for Best Bred By Exhibitor Bitch
Donated by Ken & Joan Carter. This award is calculated the same way as the Bred By Exhibitor Dog award. 

Obedience

CWHWTC Obedience Trophy for Highest Points in competing at Companion Dog level (Novice)
The dog obtaining the highest total of the first three qualifying scores of C.D. wins. All three qualifying scores must be obtained in one calendar year. The winner receives a keeper trophy and a certificate.

The Raglan Award for Highest Total CDX and UD Scores
Penny Bell Scorer's Raglan Kennels first offered this plaque in 1982. This award takes the total qualifying scores obtained in CDX and UD trials for one calendar year and adds them together.  The dog obtaining the highest total then wins the award.

The Raglan Award for Highest CDX and UD Average Scores
Penny Bell Scorer proposed this trophy so that dogs that did not campaign but had a great average score could also be honoured. The average score is obtained by dividing the total of all the scores obtained in C.D.X. and U.D. trials for one calendar year by the total number of trials. The dog with the highest average wins. The winner's name is engraved onto the trophy and the winner receives a certificate.

The Scottlands Fiona Memorial Trophy
This trophy was given by Monique Courtois in memory of Froufrou (Can. Am. Bah. Bda. Mex. Int'l. Ch. Scottlands Fiona, Can. Am. Mex. UD, Bda. PR CDX, Bah. CD, TT). This trophy is awarded to a Westie who has obtained a Utility Dog title in a minimum of two different  countries. In the case more than one dog applies in a given year, all dogs shall be awarded the trophy. The Utility Dog titles  need not be obtained in one calendar year, but the dog's owner must be a CWHWTC member in those year(s).  The winner's and dog's names are engraved on the trophy and the winner receives a certificate. 

Special Awards

Hill'n Vale Award for Versatility
Ann Budge first offered the Hill'n Vale Award for Versatility in 1986 for dogs receiving degrees from three of the four areas of competition - Obedience, Conformation, Tracking and Go-to-Ground. The dog needs not be alive at the present time to apply. The Westie must be owned by a member of the Club;  in addition the owner must be a member for the period in which at least one title of the three was earned. There is no limit to the number of dogs receiving the award in one year.  The CG title may be won in the U.S.A.  The A.W.T.A. operates in both countries and the title can be won only once.  The CKC recognizes a CG awarded in American and Canadian soils.  The award goes to the dog but is presented to the owner who put the last of the 3 titles on it.

Burcharon Super Dog Award 
Four titles or degrees are recognized from the following areas of dog endeavours: Obedience, Conformation, Tracking, Go-to-Ground, Agility, Flyball, Scent Hurdling, and a Temperament type test. Only one title from each area counts as one of the four required titles or degrees. (For example, under the Temperament type test area, a dog can use only one of Canine Good Citizen (CGC), or Therapy Dog International (TDI), or Temperament Test (TT) towards the Burcharon Super Dog Award. All titles must be awarded by a Canadian organisation, unless there is only one international title giving body. The Westie must be owned by a member of the Club for the period in which at least one title, and/or degree of the four was earned.

Qualifications

1. All CWHWTC Awards are open to members only. All members must be in good standing and all co-owners must be members in order for the dog to qualify for the awards.

2. Since no results are carried over from previous years, the current year is the only one that will apply. As this is the case, and in order to avoid any confusion on some of the awards for which a specific criteria is required, i.e. Bred by Exhibitor awards, if a dog is listed as being co-owned in January Dogs in Canada and then somewhere during the year, the co-ownership changes or the ownership changes to someone else, then that dog is disqualified from competing for the award that requires that specific criteria for that year. This makes the awards much fairer in that some members may not be aware that you can make this type of change and still qualify for an award.

3. The information is based on the information published in Dogs in Canada .  Results are calculated from January 1 to December 31 st. Results are not carried over from one year to another. Members should note that if the information is published incorrectly, they should inform CKC so that it can be amended in next issue; otherwise, the information is calculated as published.

4. With regard to the Scottlands Fiona Memorial Trophy, the Hill'n Vale Award for Versatility and the Burcharon Trophy for Super Dog, since these results are not published in Dogs in Canada and since the Club doesn't know all the dogs competing, if you feel you qualify for one of these awards, please contact the secretary listing the titles and when they were obtained and providing copies of certificates or titles as proof of said titles so that you may qualify.

Tabulations

1. If a group win is obtained, the points for the breed are counted, then any dogs defeated at the Breed level are subtracted from the total number of dogs defeated for the Group Win.

2. If a Best in Show is obtained, the points for the breed and group are counted, then any dogs defeated at the Breed and Group Level are subtracted from the total number of dogs defeated for Best in Show.

3. For Flyball, the title giving body is North American Flyball Association, (NAFA); for Agility, the Agility Association of Canada, (AAC) and the Canadian Kennel Club (CKC); for Go-to-Ground, the American Working Terrier Association, (AWTA) and the CKC and for Scent Hurdling, the CKC.
