Awards at the National

Members have commented that the awarding of ROM’s at the Annual meeting is really flat. The Friday Night Fundraiser and Awards Banquet is a lot more energized and conducive to presenting awards.  

The following awards will be given out Friday night:

1. Judith Fellton Award
2. DPCA Lifetime Achievement Award
3. ROM Awards
4. DPCA Volunteer of the Year Award
5. AKC Outstanding Sportsmanship Award
6. Gwen DeMilta Futurity/Maturity Awards

Please join us Friday night to celebrate the successes of your fellow DPCA members!!!!!

National and Top 20 Catalogs

Both catalogs may be pre-ordered on the DPCA website. We will use the number of pre-ordered to catalogs to determine how many catalogs to order for the National.  

To ensure you get a National or Top 20 catalog, please pre-order. 

You will save the 9% tax that Kansas charges by doing so.
