Award of Achievement AOA was to honor those dogs that did not have a Select but did have everything else. Ch., Temp, OFA. and training degree. The purpose was to honor the TOTAL DOG. Not everyone can go to the Nationals, Select is only one persons good or bad opinion, but to obtain all four titles is such an honor. Shot down again...sorry for the membership. not for me personally.
