The program honors dogs who earn titles in three of the AKC Companion Events: Obedience, Agility and Tracking.
When AKC Tracking opened to mixed-breeds in January 2014, it also opened the door for All-Americans to qualify for the VCD titles.
So far, three dogs in the AKC Canine Partners program have done exactly that!
