THE WARD YOUNG MEMORIAL AWARD

 

The money for this project was donated in memory of Ward Young by many of his friends among the early members of the Siberian Husky Club of Canada. The award honors the dog achieving the highest combined score within a single year in Conformation Showing, Racing, and Obedience competition.

The rules for the award are as follows:

No.1

  The dog must be a registered Siberian Husky.
No. 2  The dog must be owned by a member of the Siberian Husky Club of Canada in the year that the events qualifying him/her for the Award took place.

No.3

 The events qualifying the dog for the Award must all take place in the same calendar year, using the Siberian Husky Club of Canada year - Sept 1st to Aug 31st.

No.4

 The dog must receive points in all three disciplines to qualify.

No.5

 Only one set of points in each category can be used to qualify for the Award - i.e. one show, one obedience trial, and one race.
 

The points will be based on the following scales, and the dog obtaining the highest number of points as a grand total will be the winner of the Ward Young Award.

The dog's highest qualifying score will be the number of points earned, as this is out of 200.
