Special Awards - Versatility Excellent Award

The Special Awards are the responsibility of the BMDCA Records Committee.


Purpose: The Versatility Excellent Award was created to recognize those Bernese Mountain Dogs who show great breadth of achievement. One of the primary goals of this award is to encourage all Bernese breeders and owners to preserve the Berner as an "all around" dog with a long tradition as a multi-use farm dog as well as a beautiful show dog.

Applying for the award:


Please note that this award is not automatic and must be applied for.
Copies of all three title certificates that qualify the dog for the award plus a copy of the dog's AKC registration certificate must be mailed to the BMDCA Records Chair.
Clearly legible scans via email are acceptable.
The deadline for applying to be included in upcoming year's yearbook is January 31.
