We have :
The dog of the year award (the outright most awesome DOY)
Gamest dog of the year award (for a dog that showed to be deep deep game, usually dead game)
Kennels of the year (the kennels that showed and achieved a lot within the year)
The last one would be the hardest to come up with I think as a lot won't want to divulge too much and understandably so.
Another good idea, Macker.
I will amend the names and suggest we have the following:
Dog of the Year
Game Dog of the Year
Kennel of the Year
There has never been any designation for our gamest-of-game dogs, which (if this is the essence of the breed) is a travesty, really.
I guess this distinction can best be shown (IMO) by the fact that, yeah, Jeep beat Homer, but I would have walk passed Jeep every time my bitch came in heat and bred to Homer
