None of this says that the dog must be owned or co-owned by a GSDCA member except for Dual Title and ROM. I found this on the GSDCA website and it specifically states that is is for GSDCA-member dogs: "Dual Awards are presented every year at the National Specialty Show Board Meeting for GSDCA-member dogs who have completed a performance title in addition to a champion title." Best of Breed and/or Best of Opposite Sex are AKC awards. Grand Victor may be either Best of Breed or Best of Opposite Sex, not just Best of Breed. Grand Victor and Grand Victrix are NOT AKC recognized titles, just GSDCA. Select is not AKC recognized, as awarded at our National.
