NSCA Outstanding Dam Award

The NSCA Outstanding Dam Award is designed to recognize Shiba Inu sire contributions to the breed whose offspring reflect the breed’s character and purpose. NSCA appreciates that the future of the Shiba Inu rests with the sires and dams that produce each successive generation. The degree of excellence is evidence by the earned titles of the offspring. The Shiba Inu dam with the highest number of points will be awarded the designation of Outstanding Dam. The award will be presented at the annual Awards Banquet at the NSCA National Specialty.

The award will be a plaque stating, “NSCA Outstanding Dam, dog's name, owner’s name (as shown on AKC registration), breeder’s name, National Shiba Club of America.” A certificate for “Outstanding Dam Honorable Mention” will be given to dogs who meet these qualifications but are not the top point earner. Owners of Honorable Mention shibas can reapply in subsequent years, but the dog’s progeny must have had additional accomplishments (more points earned) since the previous application. A picture of the recipient and list of offspring and their titles will be printed in the Shiba E-News and posted on the NSCA Awards webpage.

Application period is May 1 through June 30, 2023. Application form may be obtained on the NSCA Awards webpage or through the Awards Committee Chairperson. All application materials may be submitted electronically or hard copy. Provide copies of official documentation with the application to verify authenticity. An incomplete application (including verification documentation) will not be processed.

Qualification:

  1. A dam must produce at least three qualifying progeny.
  2. A minimum of 75 points (totaled for all qualifying progeny) must be achieved to qualify for the award.
  3. At least two of the three qualifying progeny must have a conformation title.
  4. At least two of the three qualifying progeny must each have a minimum of a twenty point or higher AKC title.
  5. Points are based on the titles earned as described below.
  6. Points are not cumulative within a category and only the highest achievement earned in each category is recognized.
  7. Documentation must be provided for all awards listed.
  8. Copy of AKC registration.
  9. Statement of NCSA membership of owner, by name. This will be verified by the Awards Committee.
