CHIC Challenge Trophy - Attention Futurity Nominees

The Great Dane Club of America is pleased to announce the creation of a new award in conjunction with the Futurity. The CHIC Challenge Trophy will be awarded to the breeder of the Best in Futurity puppy IF the dam and sire of that puppy have a CHIC number. There will be a space on the Final Entry form (sent out in July) to note the dam and sire’s CHIC numbers.

The GDCA Board created this trophy to recognize the efforts of our breeders with regards to health testing our dogs. You still have time to have that last test done to get your CHIC number in time for this year’s Futurity. If you have questions about this program please contact Dianne Powers, Futurity Chair at diannepowers@comcast.net

2. History
3. Movement - correct and incorrect
4. Danes as companions
5. Danes in performance events
6. Health issues and research
7. How to raise a Great Dane puppy

This CD can be a great part of a "puppy packet" for new owners. You can also use the CD at your Affiliate Club meetings to meet the AKC educational requirements.

You can purchase the CD at the National for $50. You can also get one from Jean Highlands,Treasurer, for $55 (includes the shipping).
