AMERICAN KENNEL CLUB SEEKS ENTRIES FROM ACROSS THE NATION FOR 9th ANNUAL
AWARDS FOR CANINE EXCELLENCE 

Is Your Dog Among the Country's Bravest, Boldest and Best Companions? 

New York, NY - Is your canine the kind that always lifts your spirits
when you're feeling blue? Do you know a dog that helps the sick feel
better? Heard of a pooch who played a role in a dramatic rescue? If so,
what better way to pay tribute to a deserving dog than by nominating him
for an American Kennel Club Award for Canine Excellence (ACE)?

An American Kennel Club (AKC) ACE award is a national honor, given to
only five dogs each year who have performed an exemplary act or series
of acts, whether large or seemingly small, that have significantly
benefited a community or individual. One award is given in the
following five categories: law enforcement, search and rescue, therapy,
service, and exemplary companion dog. Honorable Mentions will be
awarded to outstanding entries in each category.

In addition to the prestige of being chosen from hundreds of entries,
each of the five honorees receives a cash award of $1,000, an engraved
sterling silver collar medallion and an all-expenses-paid trip for dog
and owner to Long Beach, Calif., to be honored at the seventh annual
AKC/Eukanuba National Championship in December 2008. The engraved names
of the five recipients will also be added to the ACE plaque that is on
permanent display in the AKC's Library 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, including the dog owner or handler, may submit a nomination.
Submissions for the American Kennel Club Awards for Canine Excellence
