Bobby, along with members of his committee, developed the details which would provide the necessary guidelines for the successful implementation of the Hall of Fame program. The committee s proposal was presented to the national officers and Board of directors for their approval at their April 2000 meetings. The proposed program was unanimously accepted and approved for implementation. The Board of Directors also made provisions for the induction of twenty-five dogs over the next two years so that the many dogs of the past may be recognized accordingly. The program as it was approved is provided below for the information of all.
Nominations are now open.
Therefore it is only fitting that the Great Dogs of the past be honored for their contributions to the organization. The period for submitting a nomination will open on November 1 of each calendar year and close on April 1 of the following year. The nomination must be postmarked by April 1 to be considered. If April 1 falls on a Sunday of any year then a postmark of April 2 will be accepted.
