CELEBRATION of LIFE Trophy
I hope that this trophy makes each person SMILE each time they look at it and realize how fortunate we all are, to be with our special canine companion at this yearly CELEBRATION. A time of year that we all enjoy watching these great dogs do what they love to do best...just be with us, be our friend and make us laugh and smile. A time of year that we all look forward to seeing old friends and making new friends from all over the United States. Enjoying what we have in common -- our devoted Belgian Sheepdog!
I thank the membership for approving this trophy and I will offer it to the Belgian Sheepdog its "human companion" that obtains the highest combined score in regular agility and regular obedience. Get working those young dogs, shake the dust off the old dogs, bring on the rescue dogs! Show us your teamwork !!!
