their kennel prefix, the following qualifications were established:

Each Dog must have sired a minimum of (6) AKC Champions.
-
Each Dam must have produced a minimum of (4) AKC Champions.
-
Each Breeder must have bred a minimum of (12) AKC Champions (Lifetime).
-
Each Dam of Distinction must have produced (7) or more AKC Champions.
-
Each Sire of Distinction must have produced (12) or more AKC Champions.
-
Obedience titlists must have obtained a minimum of (2) AKC titles
including an advanced title of CDX or higher.

announced before an assembly of the members at the subsequent Members’
dinner, either at the Rotating or New York specialty.
