That is an interesting question. As stated currently in order to receive a GSDCA award an owner needs to be a GSDCA member .... Does that also apply to GV or GVX and the Select dogs? Since we are playing Devil's advocate....

I thought OV/OVX were awarded to the highest combined dog that met the qualifications set by the club? So if for example a dog with DQ won the AKC high combined but the next highest combined dog was a dog that met all the club qualifications THAT dog would be OV rather than just not awarding it. If that's not true, WHY NOT? Right now the premium list says that at least one of the owners of the dog must be a member of the GSDCA. If the AKC High Combined dog is owned by someone who isn't a member of the GSDCA, wouldn't the award then go to the highest combined dog that met all the qualifications AND the owner is a member? --Regina 2 GSDs in Somerset, NJ ===========================================================================POST is Copyrighted 2012.
