ACE AWARDS 2008
The American Kennel Club is accepting nominations for its 2008 Awards of Canine Excellence (ACE). To qualify, the purebred dog must be AKC registered or registrable, and have performed some exemplary act, whether large or seemingly small that has significantly benefited a community or individual. One award will be given in each of the following five categories: Law Enforcement, Search and Rescue, Therapy, Service, and Companion Dog. When appropriate, dogs earning honorable mention will be cited.
Each of the five honorees will receive a cash award of $1,000 and an engraved sterling silver medallion, which they will receive at a special presentation ceremony at the AKC/Eukanuba National Championship in Long Beach, California in December 2006. In addition, the names of the five recipients will be engraved on the ACE Awards plaque that is on permanent display in the AKC Headquarters in New York City. Dogs receiving honorable mention will be awarded an engraved bronze medallion. All entrants will receive an AKC ACE Certificate of Recognition in acknowledgement of their nomination.
Anyone can nominate a dog. The owner of the dog is permitted to submit the nomination for his/her own dog. All submissions for The American Kennel Club Awards for Canine Excellence for the year 2008 must include the following:
- A non-returnable, clear, color photograph of the dog - no scans please.
