The Dachshund Club of America understands that the events held in conjunction with our National Specialty are more than just conformation. In an effort to promote the entire Dachshund and showcase the versatility of our breed, DCA Triathlon event awards Dachshunds which distinguish themselves in performance and/or companion events at the National Specialty.
Any Dachshund participating and qualifying in three or more of the seven different performance and/or companion event categories; agility, field trial, earth dog, obedience, rally, scent work and tracking, plus the Triathlon Conformation Evaluation are recognized with a DCA with a Certificate of Achievement. The highest combined scoring dog receives the title “DCA Triathlon Dog of the Year”. Congratulations to our previous year’s winners. This is a remarkable achievement!
All participants (even if they don’t qualify in the 3 events they have attempted) earn a nice commemorative medallion.
Please contact Connie Fisher (beldachs@gmail.com) with questions or if you have a dog that will be participating.
