The GSCA board needs members to send nominations for the following awards. If you know someone who has gone above and beyond helping member, volunteering, or just making a difference in another Giant owner’s life. PLEASE send their name to us. We really don’t hear about the great things members do independently or with their dogs. All nominations will be considered. NOMINATED AWARDS OUTSTANDING GIANT SCHNAUZER AWARD Presented to the individual Giant Schnauzer who through it’s outstanding conformation and intelligence has accomplished a feat that is first for the breed, or an outstanding achievement, which has brought recognition and honor to the breed. This award is determined by membership nomination followed by Board approval. This is not a mandatory yearly reward.
LADY FERGIE AWARD Presented to the individual Giant Schnauzer whose actions and outstanding achievement in public and/ or community service has brought recognition and honor to the breed. This award is determined by membership nomination followed by Board approval. This is not a mandatory yearly reward. THE PRINZ WILHELM (WILLIE AWARD) ** Presented to the GSCA member who, in the opinion of the Board, shall have done the most to further the principles of obedience training and sportsmanship. This award is determined by membership nomination followed by Board approval. This is not a mandatory yearly reward. DEDICATED SERVICE AWARD Presented to up to 3 GSCA members who have made substantial or extraordinary effort to further the best interests of the Club and
our breed. This award is determined by membership or Board nomination followed by Board approval. This is not a mandatory yearly award. AKC SPORTSMANSHIP AWARD (Now the Kathie Anderson Sportsmanship Award) In the American Kennel Club’s ongoing efforts to recognize and celebrate its volunteer club members, The AKC Outstanding Sportsmanship Award program was established in 2006 to provide each member club with an AKC Medallion to award to one of its own on a yearly basis. This award honors those individuals who deserve special recognition that have made a difference in the sport of purebred dogs, embodied the AKC Code of Sportsmanship, and have been an active and valued member of an AKC member club. Medallions are awarded solely at the club’s discretion. GSCA has, in the past, determined the recipient by membership nomination followed by Board approval.
