Princess Memorial Obedience Award
presented by JoyceAnn Matejcek
Rules and Regulations
"At the 1984 National, I presented to the Organization something
especially dear to my heart, a "Princess Obedience Memorial" which will
be a permanent trophy. The main trophy will remain with me and be
placed on display from year to year, and a smaller trophy will be
awarded each year to the person/dog team that qualifies under specific
requirements." (JoyceAnn Matejcek)
With JoyceAnn's passing in September of 2013, the award was passed into the care and custody of Nancy H. Swanner, who will continue the award as directed by JoyceAnn.
1. The time element will run from June 1 to May 31 of the following
year. (This time frame may be extended to conform to WGSDCII award deadlines.)
2. Scores must come from the licensed shows of AKC or CKC; one may
show as many times as you want during that year, under your specific
class level(s). Enter your scores to obtain the highest average.
Only one award a year is to be presented.
STIPULATION: Princess was a top scoring obedience dog and, as a credit to her memory, the dogs that receive the award must have at least an average score in the 190’s. You can take any three scores and their average must come somewhere in the 190’s range.
3. The information is to be sent to Nancy H. Swanner on the
Official Princess Memorial Form to determine the winner for each
year. A copy should also be submitted to the Obedience Director
for publication in the DIN. This is your responsibility to submit
these scores to be eligible for the award.
4. Dogs must be handled by the owner(s) or a member of the
immediate family of the owner(s). The definition of "immediate
family" shall be: Husband, wife, father, mother, son, daughter, brother,
sister, father-in-law, mother-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law,
brother-in-law or sister-in-law.
5. The owner(s) and handler must be a current member in good
standing of the WGSDCII.
6. The award will be presented only to a white German Shepherd Dog.
7. Each white German Shepherd Dog can receive the award only once.
The handler may receive it multiple times with different dogs.
This award is donated with no cost to the Organization as a living
memorial in tribute to "Princess" for her outstanding work in the
Obedience ring. The first Award was presented at the 1985 National
Conformation Show.
