CHAMPION OF HEALTH AWARD RECIPIENTS:
Since 2006, the AKC's Canine Health Foundation (CHF),
in conjunction with the OFA, has offered an award
program for those breed clubs participating in the CHIC
Program. Each parent club is invited to select from
those eligible a short list of the five best qualified
dogs that have both completed the CHIC requirements for
the breed while excelling in the breed at a national
level. From this short list the CHF then selects one dog
from that breed to each year be awarded the prestigious
"Champion Of Heath" title. The GDCA is proud to be a
participant in the CHIC program, and has received
accolades from the CHF & OFA for the high quality of the
dogs that have been sent in consideration. Below are the
awardees of the CHAMPION OF HEALTH for the Great Dane
breed.
