AWSS Schedule of Points

Points are awarded as follows:

• Only the highest achievement in each venue applies.

• Points for titles in different venues at the same level can be added together.

• Qualification for a versatility title requires a specific point value earned from a certain number of different venues/events. At all versatility levels, the highest pointed title must be from a working event (i.e. not conformation). A lower-valued achievement may be counted in lieu of a higher-valued achievement in order to meet this requirement. 

Examples:

• A dog with NA and NAJ gets 3 points

• A dog with NA and OAJ gets 5 points

• A dog with CD and NA gets 6 points

• A dog with OTCh and HC gets 18 points

• A dog with HTCh and WTCH gets 10 points.

Titles must be documented in one of the following ways:

• Copy of original title certificate

• Copy of report from the issuing organization

• Link to the online record of achievement (this must be a PUBLIC URL, and NOT require log-in credentials)

In the event that a deceased dog has earned this award, application must be made to AWSS within 12 months of the death of the dog.​
      ** NOTE: From March 1, 2021 to August 31, 2021, applications are open for posthumous awarding of Versatility titles for any eligible deceased dog, waiving the 12 month requirement.
