Phyllis Dobbs Award Winners
Most Versatile German Shepherd Dog Competition at the GSDCA National
In memory of Phyllis Dobbs, who bred, owned, and trained the first Triple Champion in the German Shepherd Dog breed, the Most Versatile German Shepherd Dog Competition at the GSDCA National recognizes those dogs that exemplify true versatility by successfully competing in a variety of events. The Versatility Competition is open to all AKC registered or listed German Shepherd Dogs. The dogs in the competition must currently be owned by a member of the GSDCA in good standing. Dogs must earn scores at the national in a minimum of three of the following venues: Agility, Conformation (regular and/or versatility sweepstakes), Herding, Obedience/Rally, Scent Work/ Tracking. Obedience and rally are considered one venue since the required skills are similar. Scent Work and Tracking are considered one venue for the purpose of the versatility competition.
