BFTHF Induction Process

Each year, the Pointer/Setter, Brittany, Retriever, Spaniels, GSPs hold their Induction Ceremonies at the Sporting Dog Center in Grand Junction, TN. This process is held on the first week end in February just prior to the start of the Pointer/Setter National Championship. This is a big festivity for all pointing breeds.

Induction is very formal. The inductee is introduced. The inductee’s presenter is introduced. And any additional people who are part of the Induction Ceremony are introduced. Next the presenter makes his /her remarks to or for the inductee. If the additional people have any remarks, they are made. Then the inductee makes his remarks. Appropriate scrolls emblematic of the election to the BFTHF have been prepared and at this time, the inductee is given his scroll. Finally, a commemorative BFTHF label pin is presented to the inductee.

The inductee’s picture will be hung in the Hall of Fame. A picture is not needed immediately, but you need to work on it!
If the inductee is a Brittany, the recommended picture size is 22 x 24 and for a person the picture size is 18 x 22.

In the background the following has been done:
1. Formal announcement of each year’s elected people/Brittanys.
BDC will send announcements to each inductee and to any inductee friends that have been identified.
Announcements will appear in the American Field and/or the American Brittany Magazine.
2. The inductee names will be added to the formal BFTHF roster.
The official roster is part of the brochure for the BFTHF induction ceremony.
3. A yearly BFTHF brochure to be available at the induction ceremony is prepared

After appropriate applause, the inductee is now a member of the BFTHF.
