Back to top THE SHADOW MEMORIAL PLATE FOR THE WEIMARANER BRINGING MOST CREDIT TO THE BREED There are no points to be calculated for this trophy. It is simply a matter of putting your nomination in writing to the Committee giving as fully as possible, the reasons why you think your nominated dog has brought 'credit to the breed'. The Committee will then make the decision.
The nominated dog will not necessarily be a Show/Working/Obedience dog it only needs to have done something to bring credit to the breed - this can be anything from hospital visits to the protection of life or property - indeed the list is endless. You may nominate your own dog or somebody else's dog - the only stipulation is that the owner of the dog must be a member of the Club and resident in Scotland.
