FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT SCOREBOOKS
To see a flowsheet for scorebook information, click here.
- Which scorebooks are accepted at AWDF sanctioned events?
Any official AWDF or DVG scorebook is accepted at all AWDF events (logo is on outside cover and AWDF tracking number is on first page). The only club trial that differs in this is USA. If you enter one of their events, their office must first stamp and record your scorebook. Instructions for getting your AWDF (non-USA) scorebook stamped are found at http://www.germanshepherddog.com/usa-faq.htm
To enter the AWDF Championship, an AWDF scorebook is required. DVG, WDA or USA-only scorebooks will not be accepted,
It depends on which event you want to enter. WDA (Working Dogs of America) is non-AWDF organization and their scorebooks are not accepted at any AWDF events. But AWDF scorebooks are accepted at WDA trials. USA (United Schutzhund Clubs of America) now offers a choice of either an AWDF scorebook or a USA-only scorebook. The USA-only scorebook is recognized ONLY at USA sanctioned events, not at any other AWDF event. USA will not accept any scorebooks that are not either issued by them or stamped by their office, including AWDF scorebooks issued by the AWMA. Confirm entry requirements by contacting the trial secretary of the event.
No. You can enter with any official AWDF scorebook or DVG scorebook. Non AWDF scorebooks such as WDA or the new USA-only scorebook will not be recognized.
You need a copy of registration papers, proof of current AWMA membership, the $15 application fee, and a complete application. If transferring from another scorebook you will need to send a copy of the scorebook’s name page and pages where the titles are recorded.
If you have a scorebook from any AWDF member organization, fill out a normal application and include clear photocopies of the old scorebook that indicate titles your dog has earned. The highest level of each title will be copied into your new scorebook. The titles will not be copied into your new scorebook without a readable photocopy for records. If your scorebook was issued by a foreign organization, check with the AWMA Secretary to see if it can be accepted.
If you obtain your scorebook from the AWMA and you have a Belgian Malinois and provide the proper registry information, your dog will be listed as a Belgian Malinois. As per a recent decision by the AWDF, if you have a Belgian Malinois and apply for an AWDF scorebook from any other breed organization in the AWDF including USA, the dog will be listed as a MIX. An exception is if you want to compete in USA events only, in which case the breed will be listed in a USA-only scorebook. Sport organizations such as USMRA and DVG use their own criteria to determine the breed of a dog. ANY FCI Registration is accepted.
The AWMA has a special application for dogs without FCI-recognized registrations (e.g., UKC is not FCI-recognized). This application also allows the recognition of dogs without papers, but that have the appearance of a Belgian Malinois. If the application is accepted, the dog will be listed as Belgian Malinois, but the scorebook will indicate the non-AKC and non-FCI status.
This alternate application addresses dogs which may not have FCI / AKC registration but do have a registration of UKC, UKC Limited Privilege, or AKC Indefinite Listing Privilege. The AWMA wishes to recognize and list such dogs as Belgian Malinois. Dog eligibility is contingent upon review of the application and registration copies. If approved, the scorebook will list the breed of dog as Belgian Malinois, together with a designation of UKC, UKC LP, or AKC ILP.
This alternate application, AWMA Working Privilege Listing (“WPL”), addresses dogs which may not have FCI / AKC registration due to papers being withheld by the breeder, lost by the owner, or instances where a dog may have been surrendered, abandoned or rescued from a shelter. The AWMA respects the many contributions of working unregistered Malinois and wishes to recognize and list such dogs as Belgian Malinois. Dog eligibility is contingent upon review of the application and photos. If approved, the scorebook will list the breed of dog as Belgian Malinois, together with a designation AWMA WPL (unregistered).
You will be able to enter most AWDF club events, but some National Events require AKC / FCI recognized registration. Check with the host club trial secretary for qualifications specific to these events. The dog must be FCI registered to enter the AWMA National Championship, the FCI Worlds and the FMBB.
If there is no breed club within AWDF, you can get your scorebook from AWMA that lists your dog's breed provided that you submit your FCI/AKC registration and other information along with your application. For example, a Belgian Treveruen would would have the breed listed because there is no breed club within AWDF, but a German Shepherd Dog would be listed as a mix because USA represents this breed within the AWDF.
You have a few options. You can arrange with the AWMA secretary to rush order a scorebook, but you will need to express mail or scan and email all paperwork. Additionally you will need to send funds to cover express mail. This option is not always available. AWMA and USA club trials allow you to post a bond for your scorebook. You must make arrangements with the host club secretary before the trial. The club will then have to send all paperwork to the secretary so your scorebook can be issued. Note that if you do this at a USA trial, you will receive a USA/AWDF scorebook with your dog listed as “MIX”. You can send a photocopy of this scorebook, with application and registration, to your AWMA secretary and receive an AWMA/AWDF scorebook with your dog listed as “Belgian Malinois”. It is best to avoid this issue and order your scorebook as soon as you have your dog and registration.
