2009 ACE Nominees
The American Kennel Club Humane Fund Awards for Canine Excellence (ACE) 2009
The American Kennel Club Humane Fund is proud to announce the nominees for the 2009 Awards for Canine Excellence (ACE). Established in 2000, ACE has become a valuable public-outreach program for the AKC Humane Fund as well as a source of pride among the fancy and the dog community.
The winners and honorable mentions in the categories of Exemplary Companion, Law Enforcement, Search and Rescue, Service, and Therapy, will be announced in late August. The five recipients will each receive engraved silver collar medallions and $1,000 cash awards at a presentation ceremony at the AKC/Eukanuba National Championship in Long Beach, California, on December 12 – 13, 2009. A local presentation will also be held for each recipient at an AKC dog show near their hometown. Information on local presentations will be posted on our web site when it becomes available. Dogs earning honorable mention will be cited and will receive bronze collar medallions.
