PVSSC VERSATILITY AWARD The Versatility Award recognizes the dog and handler team who epitomizes the versatility of “The Dog with the Human Brain.” This award(s) will be given to all dog/handler teams who achieve a minimum of 15 points across three or more categories of performance, which can be achieved over several years. Dog/handler teams who have been awarded a Versatility Award in past years may be eligible to win this award again in following years provided new qualifying titles (totaling 15 additional points) have been earned since the earlier award. Points are cumulative within category (i.e., a dog achieving a CD & a CDX would gain 7 points).
