Top Dog Requirement

Top Dog Requirement

The  awarding of CNASA “Top Dog” signifies that that particular dog and  handler have accumulated more points than any other eligible team in the given calendar year.

  • All CNASA Members of at least 2 years membership are eligible for these Awards 
  • Dogs must be owned by a CNASA member.

All  CKC Conformation Shows, Obedience Trials, Rally Trials, Agility Trials  and Arena Trials held in the calendar year will count toward tabulation  of the Top Dog Award.

The award given to each Top Dog is an extra large best in show size (9″ x 30″) rosette in burgundy and forest green.   


Conformation
The Top Conformation Dog for the year will be the highest ranked member owned dog according to the rankings done by CanuckDogs. No submission of wins is required

Performance
The  purpose of these awards is not only to acknowledge a dog who has  competed with success but also to encourage members to complete with  their dogs.The Top Dogs in all Performance disciplines are calculated  using a level of difficulty bonus system which allows us to include dogs  competing at all levels.Beginners achieving high scores at Novice level  in any Performance discipline are encouraged to submit their scores.


For  Obedience, Rally, Herding, and Agility ALL qualifying scores  (regardless of level) earned during the given calendar year must be  submitted

The calculations are done as follows:

  • For the first level in ALL Performance disciplines (i.e., Herding Started and Novice in Obedience, Rally, and Agility) the actual scores are used.


  • For the intermediate levels (i.e. dogs competing for CDX in Obedience, RA in Rally or an Intermediate in Agility or Herding):
    • Obedience – actual score + 1% bonus (e.g., a score of 190 will be 190+1% of 190 to equal 191.9)
    • Rally and Agility – actual score + 1% bonus (e.g., a score of 90 will be 90+1% of 90 to equal 90.9)
    • Herding – actual score + 2% bonus (e.g., a score of 90 will be 90 +2% of 90 to equal 91.8)


  • For the advanced levels (i.e. dogs competing for UD in Obedience, RE in Rally, AGX in Agility, HA in Herding):
    • Obedience – actual score + 3% bonus (e.g., a score of 190 will be 190+3% of 190 to equal 195.7)
    • Rally and Agility – actual score + 3% bonus (e.g., a score of 90 will be 90+3% of 90 to equal 92.7)
    • Herding – actual score + 4% bonus (e.g., a score of 90 will be 90 +4% of 90 to equal 96.6)


Each dog’s scores are then averaged to calculate the final score for the dog.

This  is a slightly modified system of calculating each dog’s average score  based on the way scores are calculated for the MVA awards and is more  equitable than what has been done previously…

NOTE:  submissions MUST be made on the form and MUST include all information requested.  Incomplete forms will be returned!

FYI  – CKC Event numbers are listed on the CKC Calendar of Events page or  will be on the scoresheet given to each handler at the conclusion of  class judging.

Use as many forms as required to include all your dog’s qualifying scores for the year.
Include only ONE performance discipline on each form or set of forms.
