Versatility, Versatility Excellent and Versatility Supreme Awards
Dandie Dinmont Terriers are active and versatile dogs. They were bred to have the skills and drive to excel in the field, and are happiest when working closely with their owners. Modern day Dandies and their owners use these skills to compete in the many dogs sports available today. To recognize and preserve these traits and to encourage owners to enjoy them, the DDTCA offers the Versatility Award, the Versatility Excellent Award, and the Versatility Supreme Award.
The Versatility Award scheme is designed so that the average Dandie and owner, with some effort, can earn the Versatility Award. No level of Versatility requires a conformation championship.
Versatility- This will be the introductory title that owners will be able to apply for after meeting the basic beginner requirements of 7 points in 3 categories.
Versatility Excellent – This will be the second level to the program and can be achieved after meeting the requirements for the first title and adding some additional achievements in one additional category of events for a total of 12 points in at least 4 categories.
Versatility Supreme – This will be the highest level, and will require a working title and a total of 15 points from 4 categories.
