Register of Merit A ROM is earned for progeny that receive an AKC Championship. A dam must produce 5 champions and a sire must produce 10 champions. Legion of Merit Awarded to Sires that have produced 3 ROM offspring and Dams that have produced 2 ROM offspring. Versatility Greater Swiss The versatility award was created to recognize those Greater Swiss Mountain Dogs who show great breadth of achievement. One of the primary goals of this award is to encourage all Swissy breeders and owners to preserve the Swissy as an "all around" dog with a long tradition as a multi-use farm dog as well as a beautiful show dog. A VGS title is earned upon completion of the CD title, plus 3 other GSMDCA accepted titles, including those in the areas of Draft Dog, Pack Dog, Working Weight Dog, Agility, Herding, Conformation. Versatility Greater Swiss Excellent The Versatility Greater Swiss Excellent (VGSX) title is awarded to dogs whose achievements have been recognized with at least four (4) conformation, obedience, and performance event certifications earned beyond primary levels. Dogs receiving the VGSX title must have completed at least an AKC conformation Championship (CH), and AKC Companion Dog Excellent (CDX) title, and two (2) other titles from two (2) of the other performance categories at advanced levels. Versatile Companion Dog Versatile Companion Dog 1 (VCD1) is given to a dog that has earned the AKC titles of Companion Dog (CD), Novice Agility (NA) or Novice Agility Preferred (NAP), Novice Agility Jumpers (NAJ) or Novice Agility Jumpers Preferred (NJP), and Tracking Dog (TD). Draft Dog Draft Tests are a series of exercises designed to develop and demonstrate the natural abilities of purebred Greater Swiss Mountain Dogs in a working capacity. The Greater Swiss Mountain Dog has historically functioned as a draft dog in various capacities, and performance of these exercises is intended to demonstrate skills resulting from both inherent ability and training which are applicable to realistic work situations. Dogs must be willing to work with their handlers and the exercises must be accomplished efficiently. It is also desirable that the dog evidence willingness and enjoyment of his work in a combination of controlled teamwork with his handler and natural independence. To earn a GSMDCA draft dog title, your swissy must earn a passing score in all elements of the draft test. A NDD title is earned at the Novice (on-leash) level, and a DD title is earned at the Open (off-leash) level.

Definitions

Pack Dog Earning a Pack Dog title requires the dog to carry a percentage of its weight on a 5, 8 or 10-mile hikes on separate occasions (legs). At the Novice (NWPD) level the dog carries 20% of its weight for 4 legs. At the WPD level, the dog carries 20% for 5 legs or 30% for 4 legs. The Working Pack Dog Excellent tile (WPDX) is earned when the dog carries 20% for 10 legs or 30% for 8 legs. Weight Pull Dogs compete to see who can pull the most weight 16 feet. They pull a wheeled cart on an earthen surface. The handler has no contact with the dog during the pull, so it is up to the dog’s willingness to pull. To earn a GSMDCA Working Weight Dog title, your swissy must successfully pull the following weight at 4 separate qualified events: WWD – 10 times their body weight; WWDX – 15 times their body weight; WWDS – 20 times their body weight (only 3 times); ACE – Dogs must have completed the 3 titles (WWD, WWDX, and WWDS). With continued competition (after the WWDS title) dogs shall be awarded points. With 100 points they shall be awarded the ACE title by the GSMDCA. Agility Agility is a sport in which a dog runs through a timed obstacle course under the guidance of the handler. Each run is timed and scored with the goal of completing the course with the highest score possible. To acquire an Agility title, a dog must earn 3 qualifying scores per class level under at least two different judges. Conformation Dog shows (conformation events) are intended to evaluate breeding stock. Judges examine the dogs and place them in accordance to how close each dog compares with the judge's mental image of the "perfect" dog as described in the breed's official standard. These standards include qualifications for structure, temperament and movement. In short, they describe the characteristics that allow the breed to perform the function for which it was bred. Most show dogs are competing for points toward their championship. To become an official AKC champion of record, a dog must earn a total of 15 points, which includes 2 major wins under 2 different judges. Obedience Obedience Trials test a dog's ability to perform a prescribed set of exercises on which it is scored. Dogs and handlers compete against a standard of perfection, rather than against each other. To earn a qualifying score (leg), the team must score more than 50% of the possible points in each exercise, and earn a total score of at least 170 out of a possible 200 points. An obedience title is earned with 3 qualifying scores (legs). Novice: The first level, Novice, results in your dog earning a Companion Dog (CD) title. The dog will have to heel both on and off leash at different speeds, come when called, stay (still and quietly) with a group of other dogs when told, and stand for a simple physical exam. Open: The second level, Open, results in your dog earning a Companion Dog Excellent (CDX) title. He must do many of the same exercises as in Novice, but off-leash and for longer periods. Additionally, there are jumping and retrieving tasks. Rally Rally is a sport in which the dog and handler complete a course that has been designed by the rally judge. The judge tells the handler to begin, and the dog and handler proceed at their own pace through a course of designated stations (10 - 20, depending on the level). Each of these stations has a sign providing instructions regarding the next skill that is to be performed. Scoring is not as rigorous as traditional obedience. To qualify, dog and handler must receive a minimum score of 70 points out of a possible perfect score of 100. A rally title is earned when three qualifying scores have been earned under at least two different judges. Tracking Tracking Tests allow dogs to demonstrate their natural ability to recognize and follow human scent. A dog only needs to complete one track successfully to earn each title. A dog earns a title by following a track with changes of direction and changes of terrain at advanced levels. The track is laid by a human tracklayer and is "aged" before the dog begins scenting. The goal is to use the scented track to locate an article left at the end of the trail by the tracklayer. The owner, who doesn’t know where the track goes, follows the dog on a long leash and can encourage the dog during the test.

Herding To earn a Junior Herding Dog (JHD), the dog must demonstrate its ability to collect and control stock, put stock in motion, move the stock in straight lines and turns, negotiate obstacles and come to a reliable stop at the pen. The stock must be taken through both corner panels and through the center obstacle to qualify. Course time is 8 minutes. Herding Trial Dog classes, with levels HTD I, II and III, take place on a standard course. All levels include an outrun, lift, fetch, wear and/or drive, and pen. At the started level, the outrun is short and the handler may accompany the dog and sheep throughout the course. At the intermediate level, the outrun is longer and the handler may accompany the dog only partway through the course. At the advanced level, the outrun is longer, the handler remains at the handler's post until time to pen, and after the pen there is an additional exercise (removing a ribbon from a marked sheep). For the AKC Pre-Trial tested title (PT), the dog must qualify twice under two different judges. The five elements of the test are: 1. A Stay (controlled pause) at the beginning. 2. Controlled passage of stock including clearing the four gates. 3. One stop on course. 4. One stop while the handler opens the pen gate. 5. Penning the sheep.

Club Awards

Ambassador of the Breed Award Honoring the Swissy of outstanding distinction in the previous year. Friend of the Greater Swiss Mountain Dog Awarded to the individual who has done the most for the GSMD in the United States in the preceding year. Margaret Poole Lifetime Achievement Award To honor from time to time a person or team demonstrating exemplary service to the GSMDCA over many years. Exemplary Junior Award The Junior (over 9 yrs. Under 18 yrs) who has demonstrated exemplary sportsmanship and dedication to the GSMD in the preceding year through participation in various events or through community service that has contributed to the welfare of the breed or the GSMDCA. Parent or guardian of Junior must be a member of the GSMDCA. Owner-Handled Champion The owner-handled award was created to recognize the owner of a Greater Swiss Mountain Dog that is handled for all 15 points to its championship by the registered owner of record. Breeders must be the only owner of a dog in order to be eligible. Professional handlers are eligible for this award only if they are the sole registered owner on the dog. If a professional handler is a co-owner on the dog, the nonprofessional co-owner must be the one that handled the dog for all 15 points to the championship. Paperwork for the owner handled champions is the responsibility of the owner to send to the GSMDCA Statistician by March 1st of the following year. Top Producer of Champions Recognizes the Sire and Dam having produced the most AKC Conformation Champion get during a calendar year. Top Producer of Working Titles Awarded to the Sire and Dam producing the most working titled offspring (or get) within the Calendar year. Working and obedience titles counted in the versatility program are considered. Multiple titles per get are counted, if there is a tie in the number of titles earned by get, the number of get with working titles is the tie-breaker. Breeder’s Achievement Award (suspended in 2015) Recognition is to be awarded every calendar year to every breeder that meets the award requirements. Every recipient is to be listed in the Senntinel and listed on the GSMDCA Website (listed with name, kennel name, and city, state, no specific contact information will be listed). The top 5 achievers are to be listed in rank order (the remaining in alphabetical order).

Breeder’s Cup (suspended in 2015) Commemorative Plaque is to be awarded to the highest achieving breeder in a calendar year. Winner must meet all of the following requirements and achieve the highest number of points.

Rankings

Conformation Rankings Top Ten All-Breed statistics are based on dogs defeated in Best of Breed and Group competition. AKC TopDogs reports for the previous calendar year are the source for the All-Breed rankings.

Top Ten Breed statistics are based on dogs defeated in Best of Breed competition. AKC TopDogs reports for the previous calendar year are the source for the Breed rankings.

Obedience Rankings Ranking Lists are based on data obtained from the AKC. The top 5 scoring dogs will be identified in Novice A, Open A&B, and Utility A&B. Novice B will be divided into two different lists: a Novice B#l list for dogs that earn the CD title in a given year and a Novice B#2 list for dogs competing in Novice B in a given year who already have earned a CD title. A Novice B dog will be limited to only one of the Novice B lists in a given year. A dog that has a CD title and subsequently earns 3 or more additional qualifying scores in a given year will automatically be considered for placement on the Novice B#2 list and not the Novice B#l list. For dogs earning a title in any given year, an average score based on the first three qualifying scores associated with earning the CD, CDX or UD titles will be used. For dogs that have already earned the CD, CDX, or UD title, an average score will be based on the total number of qualifying scores in that class earned subsequent to the title during a given year, with a minimum requirement of 3 qualifying scores required.

Disclaimer: The titles included herein are not intended to represent all titles/achievements earned by each Swissy, only those gathered for this awards banquet.
