 Brittany  Field  Trial  Hall  of  Fame

Nominations  close September 30, 2009
Induction  February 6,  2010
Bird Dog Foundation,  Grand Junction, TN 

On behalf of the Brittany Field Trial Hall of Fame (BFTHF), we are asking you to participate in the BFTHF nomination process.   The BFTHF is part of the Bird Dog Foundation, Grand Junction, TN. 

Purpose

The purpose of the BFTHF is to recognize and honor Brittanys and Brittany owners that have made significant contributions to the Sport of Field Trialing.  To date 68 Brittanys and 36 Brittany enthusiasts have been inducted and pictures of these dogs and people are displayed in the Hall of Fame.

“To be enshrined in a Hall of Fame is the greatest achievement in field trial sports” 

Nominations

You are a member of the nominating committee and your support is needed.  We want you to nominate those that you believe are Outstanding Brittanys and Distinguished Brittany people. 

            Outstanding dogs are recognized by their entire competitive career, field trial performance record (championship wins) and production record.  They must be deceased at least one year prior to opening of nominations May 1.  These are the same dogs you would like to find in the pedigree of that good pup you just bought! 

            Distinguished people have rendered exemplary service to the sport of field trialing both locally and nationally for a long period of time.  These contributions may be as a judge, a breeder, a field trial official, a reporter, a patron or any combination thereof.  The sport is better because of these people who are givers, not takers or self promoters. 

Nominations Process

Nominations should be posted on the new website at http://www.brittanyfieldtrialhalloffame.org.  Written nominations and petitions with signatures of supporters should be mailed to the Chairman, Rick Smith.  The petition should state that this dog/person has made outstanding contributions to the sport of field trialing followed by signatures of supporters with the name of their organization.  

Election and Induction

A second committee, the BFTHF election committee, will select dogs and people from a list of those nominated dogs and people who have received the most nominations.  Normally, no more than two worthy persons and dogs will be elected in any calendar year.
