RMBCC Versatility Awards

Following the Bearded Collie Club of America guidelines, the RMBCC has programs to encourage and reward owners that participate in a variety of sports.

The Versatility Award recognizes Beardies who have earned titles in three out of six areas: Conformation, Obedience, Rally, Herding, Tracking, and Agility. The Versatility Excellent Award recognizes Beardies who have earned eight titles in at least three of the areas listed above.

The Master Versatility Award, the highest Versatility Award, requires 12 AKC titles but must also include an all-breed Best In Show or completed the championship level in herding, agility, obedience or tracking.

Detailed information regarding these awards can be found in the standing rules for the BCCA.
