 This is an annual award honoring North America’s top winning field trial herding dog from trials held throughout the year. The owner of the winning dog will receive an oil painting of their dog, a cash prize of $1,000.00 ($2,000.00 if they are an active Purina Pro Club member) and a year’s supply of Pro Plan dog food for the dog. 

Points are awarded for the team’s top five finishes in trials during the trial season plus points based upon the team’s placing at the USBCHA National Sheepdog Finals.
