6 Annual Awards Information This is the seventh year for the following three different awards: you may apply for. Corey Trophy Am. Can. Ch. Sunshine Hill Core Memory Am. Can. CD, Am. Can. WC. Can TT The story of the Corey Trophy: by Sandy Selander This trophy has been donated to the Chesapeake Golden Retriever Club by Dr. and Mrs. J. Michael Selander of Great Falls, Virginia in memory of Corey, their first multi titled Golden. The trophy will be awarded annually at the Annual Banquet to the CGRC member whose owned or co-owned Golden Retriever achieves the most outstanding performance across multiple areas of endeavor during the past 12 month period. The trophy is to serve as an inspiration to all Chesapeake club members to strive to perfect the innate talents of their dogs in multiple areas. The themes of this trophy have been artistically rendered by Marcia Schlehr. The trophy is composed of four bas relief bronze castings, which symbolize the Golden Retriever in breed, obedience, field and tracking competition. In addition, the top of the trophy is crowned with a bronze sculpture of a Golden laying down, and looking up at you. This is a reflection of our sentiment, that above all else, Corey was first and foremost our family companion. The point schedule for evaluating qualifications for this trophy s award recognizes accomplishment in all four areas of endeavor, recognizing a range of accomplishment that spans class placements(with competition) and qualifying scores, all the way through attainment of AKC and GRCA recognized titles, up to Show Dog Hall of Fame(SDHF), Obedience Trial Champion (OTCH), and National Amateur Field Championship (NAFC) level titles. It must be noted, however, that it is the intent of this trophy, that it be awarded first and foremost on the basis of diversity of accomplishment, and secondly awarded on the basis of advanced proficiency in any one area of endeavor. Thus, the Golden who attains a Companion dog title and a single breed class placement is to be regarded as being more of this trophy than the Golden who attains multiple Best of Breed wins. It is hoped that this trophy will encourage all Chesapeake Golden Retriever Club members to explore multiple areas of competition, and in this way better appreciate the versatility of the Golden Retriever and the incredible joy they can bring into our lives. Asti, Josh, Uque Companion Dog Memorial This award was donated by Stephanie Brooks in memory of: Charms Bubbly Asti Spumante, CD ( ASTI ), Asti s Joshin The New Year, CD ( JOSH), and Charms U Too R Bubbly, CD (UQUE). This trophy is a beautifully framed 38" x 34" framed print of a working Golden Retriever in a regal pose in a field of grasses. The Asti, Josh, Uque trophy is a perpetual award granted to a member whose dog has earned a Companion Dog Obedience Title during the year. Members applying for this trophy are required to submit an essay, on separated paper, describing their personal experiences and lessons learned during their quest for the title, as well as something to share with novice members that might help them on their journey towards a CD. CGRC Recognition Plaques Each year at out Annual Award Banquet, the CGRC presents plaques to those Golden Retrievers who have earned titles or made other significant accomplishments during the year. All Golden Retrievers receiving AKC and/or GRCA titles during the calendar year of 2006 are eligible to receive a plaque presented at the Annual Banquet.
