The NCA has adopted a Working Achievement Award to honor those Newfoundland/handler teams that excel in dog sports highlighting the intelligence and versatility of our breed, recognizing the unique bond between a handler and their dog, and promoting participation at a high level of excellence in performance events.
The core requirements for the Working Achievement Award are:
AKC Companion Dog Excellent (CDX)
NCA Draft Dog (DD)
NCA Water Rescue Dog (WRD)
In addition, the Newfoundland must have fulfilled three separate requirements encompassing the following working categories and/or levels below. The Newfoundland may meet these criteria by excelling in one particular working area (e.g. RE, RAE, RM), three different working areas (e.g. UD, TD, WRDX) or a combination of working areas (e.g. RE, DD3, DDX). Please note that only three requalifications or combination of requalifications in draft or water can fulfill a requirement (i.e. WRD3 will fulfill one requirement, but WRD6 will not fulfill two requirements). Virtual titles earned will not be accepted toward the Working Achievement Award.
