Each year on September 1st, NADD will allow competitors to submit their dog for the current year’s NADD Hall of Fame.
They have until September 30th to complete their submissions. At that time a NADD representative will review all submissions and narrow down the list to about 10 candidates.
Once we have selected candidates, a volunteer committee made up of NADD staff, facility personnel, and a competitor volunteer, will review and rank the submissions. Priority will be given on scoring from the categories listed below, and the age of the dog, years of competing with NADD, etc.
What NADD achievements has your dog earned (National Championships, Top 10 finishes, Titles, etc)?
What special events has your dog attended? How many times? All dogs must be at least 7 years old to be submitted. The only exception is a dog that has passed before this point.
A dog should have a balance of accomplishments in each of the following categories:
Dogs will be ranked based on Category (CAT) (more weight for Cat A, less weight for Cat D) and anonymously reviewed by a panel of judges. They will select the dog(s) they feel deserve to be inducted into the Hall of Fame.
CAT A
TOTAL JUMPS (Distance/AR/HD):
Has at least 300 total splashes with NADD in the dog’s life. (If your dog does not meet this criteria, they will not be considered.)
CAT B
ACHIEVEMENTS & ATTENDANCE:
What NADD achievements has your dog earned (National Championships, Top 10 finishes, Titles, etc).
What special events as you dog attended? How many times?
CAT C
MOSTS: Has your dog achieved the MOST in any given area in NADD? Most AR Senior? Most jumps by a specific breed?
CAT D
FIRSTS: What FIRSTS has your dog accomplished? This can be by titles, breed, rankings, etc. Any NADD accomplishment that YOUR dog was the first to achieve.
