A basic title may be completed by earning only five points in three different categories, and the titles become more challenging from there!  It is designed to be merit-based and to avoid similarities to AKC-style conformation competitions in any way. You must be a member in good standing to participate in the program.  Any dog who is registered in the SCPS database is eligible to earn points, titles and awards.<br /><a style=\"color: inherit; opacity: 0.7; border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); transition-duration: 200ms; transition-timing-function: ease-in-out; transition-property: opacity;\" href=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/versatility-program-rules.html\">Check it out here!</a><hr style=\"color: #000000; font-family: \'Helvetica Neue\', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; background-color: #fff2cc; width: 1286px; visibility: hidden;\" /><p><a style=\"color: inherit;\"><img style=\"border-width: 1px; border-style: solid; border-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.13); position: relative; background-color: transparent; margin-top: 5px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 3px;\" src=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/uploads/1/1/9/9/119920223/published/119029278-3628245590554130-6653801179259438123-n_1.jpg\" alt=\"Picture\" /></a></p><strong><a style=\"color: inherit; opacity: 0.7; border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); transition-duration: 200ms; transition-timing-function: ease-in-out; transition-property: opacity;\" href=\"https://www.americanstockdog.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">American Stock Dog Registry</a></strong><br />We are excited to announce the Scottish Collie has been approved as an official breed with the American Stock Dog Registry.

Scottish Collies who participate in these events also will also be eligible for SCPS versatility awards.<br /><br />We are excited to be approved as a recognized breed with their registry and hope you will take advantage of the many opportunities this partnership will provide.

A basic title may be completed by earning only five points in three different categories, and the titles become more challenging from there!  It is designed to be merit-based and to avoid similarities to AKC-style conformation competitions in any way. You must be a member in good standing to participate in the program.  Any dog who is registered in the SCPS database is eligible to earn points, titles and awards.<br /><a style=\"color: inherit; opacity: 0.7; border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); transition-duration: 200ms; transition-timing-function: ease-in-out; transition-property: opacity;\" href=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/versatility-program-rules.html\">Check it out here!</a><hr style=\"color: #000000; font-family: \'Helvetica Neue\', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; background-color: #fff2cc; width: 1286px; visibility: hidden;\" /><p><a style=\"color: inherit;\"><img style=\"border-width: 1px; border-style: solid; border-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.13); position: relative; background-color: transparent; margin-top: 5px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 3px;\" src=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/uploads/1/1/9/9/119920223/published/119029278-3628245590554130-6653801179259438123-n_1.jpg\" alt=\"Picture\" /></a></p><strong><a style=\"color: inherit; opacity: 0.7; border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); transition-duration: 200ms; transition-timing-function: ease-in-out; transition-property: opacity;\" href=\"https://www.americanstockdog.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">American Stock Dog Registry</a></strong><br />We are excited to announce the Scottish Collie has been approved as an official breed with the American Stock Dog Registry. Effective January 2021, Scottish Collies can be double registered with the American Stock Dog Registry and be added to their breeders pages as well as compete in many of the dogs shows hosted throughout the USA and occasionally Canada &amp; Europe.<br /><br />This is a great opportunity for SCPS breeders to promote their collies and announce upcoming litters to the thousands of followers who are involved with the ASDR.<br /><br />Their shows include training seminars, confirmation, agility, scentwork, herding, rally and obedience. Scottish Collies who participate in these events also will also be eligible for SCPS versatility awards.<br /><br />We are excited to be approved as a recognized breed with their registry and hope you will take advantage of the many opportunities this partnership will provide. Your collie must be registered with SCPS to participate.<br /><br />If you would like to learn more about ASDR in the meantime, please check out their website. <a style=\"color: inherit; opacity: 0.7; border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); transition-duration: 200ms; transition-timing-function: ease-in-out; transition-property: opacity;\" href=\"https://www.americanstockdog.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https://www.americanstockdog.org/</a><br /><a style=\"color: inherit; opacity: 0.7; border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); transition-duration: 200ms; transition-timing-function: ease-in-out; transition-property: opacity;\" href=\"https://www.facebook.com/American-Stock-Dog-Registry-175368817839/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https://www.facebook.com/American-Stock-Dog-Registry-175368817839/</a><hr style=\"color: #000000; font-family: \'Helvetica Neue\', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; background-color: #fff2cc; width: 1286px; visibility: hidden;\" /><p><a style=\"color: inherit;\"><img style=\"border-width: 1px; border-style: solid; border-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.13); position: relative; background-color: transparent; margin-top: 5px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 3px;\" src=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/uploads/1/1/9/9/119920223/spirit-dog-training-logo_orig.png\" alt=\"Picture\" /></a></p><strong style=\"color: #2a2a2a;\"><a style=\"color: inherit; opacity: 0.7; border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); transition-duration: 200ms; transition-timing-function: ease-in-out; transition-property: opacity;\" href=\"https://spiritdogtraining.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Spirit Dog Training </a><br /> </strong>SCPS is partnered with Spirit Dog Training to provide discount online classes to our registered members and their collies.

A basic title may be completed by earning only five points in three different categories, and the titles become more challenging from there!  It is designed to be merit-based and to avoid similarities to AKC-style conformation competitions in any way. You must be a member in good standing to participate in the program.  Any dog who is registered in the SCPS database is eligible to earn points, titles and awards.<br /> <br />Cost to Participate: There is one-time $15 fee to join the program – this fee includes the cost of your dog’s first title and awards when they are earned.  There is no subsequent up-front cost to submit information to be reviewed for future titles.  <ul style=\"margin-top: 5px !important; margin-bottom: 5px !important; margin-left: 0px !important; padding-left: 3em !important; list-style-position: outside !important; list-style-image: initial !important;\"><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">Should it be determined by the judge’s panel that your dog has earned a subsequent title, you will be invoiced for $10, which will include a printed certificate and ribbon, shipped to you.  Your dog’s name will also be updated in the SCPS Registry to reflect the new title earned, and an announcement posted on the club Facebook page (please send us a picture of your dog with his/her award for the post).</li><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">Should it be determined that your dog has not earned a title, a member of the judges’ panel will contact you to let you know what is needed.</li><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">Fees to participate are designed to cover the cost of prizes and shipping.  The SCPS Versatility Committee reserves the right to adjust the fees if necessary.</li></ul><br />Judging: Materials submitted for consideration will be reviewed by a panel of volunteer judges.  The judges’ panel reserves the right to consult with outside experts when and if needed.  Please note that judges are all volunteers who evaluate entries outside of work hours; please be patient and give us a week from receipt of your submission to review your entry!  <br /><br />Titles to be offered for ‘Equivalent Work’: we happily solicit and accept documentation of your dog performing work around your farm or ranch that is roughly equivalent to the work required to earn titles at trials, competitions, etc.  What better way to show your dog’s instincts and training than the practical, ‘paws-on’ tasks they were developed to perform ‘in the field’? Please see the sections, below, on Categories, Titles, and Submitting Your Documentation for more information.<br />Sportsmanlike and Ethical Conduct: The SCPS Versatility Program is designed to support and celebrate the human/canine bond, and at the same time, relies in large part on the honor system.  We encourage sportsmanlike conduct and responsible dog ownership.<br />Questions are welcome!  Help us make this program run smoothly, clearly and efficiently.  Contact the Committee at <a style=\"color: inherit;

font-size: 31px !important;\">Versatility Frequently Asked Questions</h2>How do I enroll my dog?  <br />There are two ways to enroll your collie.  First, you can enroll your dog when you apply to the Registry. Second, if your dog is already in our Registry you can fill out the online enrollment form on the website. There is a one-time $15.00 fee to enroll your dog into the program to help cover initial costs.<br /><br />How do I get a Title on my dog?  <br />For a basic R-I (Representative-One) title, you need to earn a total of five points in three different Versatility categories, as detailed in the Handbook. Once your documentation of your dog’s point-earning activities has been submitted via the email on the site and approved, a ribbon and title certificate will be awarded and mailed to your dog.  Further titles require more points to be earned, and points across all categories must be earned for the more advanced Ambassador titles. Please refer to the Handbook for details.<br /><br />How can I earn points?  <br />Points can be earned by submitting documentation of completed classes and accomplishments in any of the qualified categories through other venues such as (but not limited to) AKC, NADAC, AKC, ASCA or NHDA Herding, Paw Print Genetics, Performance Clubs, and video submissions.<br /><br />Can I get points in Confirmation?  <br />No, because SCPS has its own breed standards that vary from other registries. At this time we do not accept confirmation points from any venue.<br /> <br />The other day, I was walking my Scottish Collie and someone stopped me to ask what kind of dog she was.  I told him all about our club and how Scottish Collies are unique. Can we get an Education point?<br /><br />We only accept activities for points that are organized so that you can provide documentation.  In other words, you must have the plan and intent beforehand to attend an event, seminar, training class, or similar with your dog, as either a demo dog for the skill being taught (and it should be a skill covered in one of our Versatility Categories), or as a representative of the SCPS.  You must also be able to provide documentation of your attendance at said event in an official capacity. By adhering to these requirements, we will be able to have a fair baseline for everyone to earn points in a consistent fashion.','VERSATILITY FAQ','','publish','closed','closed','','versatility-faq-2','','','2022-03-24 17:58:13','2022-03-24 17:58:13','',0,'https://dev.scpscollies.com/?page_id=1840',0,'page','',0),(1832,2,'2022-02-03 17:16:27','2022-02-03 17:16:27','<h2 style=\"margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: 300; line-height: 1.1em; text-align: center; font-family: &quot;Crimson Text&quot; !important; font-size: 31px !important; letter-spacing: 0px !important;\"><strong style=\"color: rgb(42, 42, 42);\">Program Overview and General Information</strong></h2><font color=\"#2a2a2a\"><font size=\"4\"><strong>Program Overview and General Information</strong></font><br><br><strong>Description of Program:<font size=\"3\">&nbsp;</font></strong>The program is intended to be a way to acknowledge, showcase and reward our Scottish Collies who can demonstrate their versatility, intelligence, athleticism, biddability and ability to excel in the traditional working skills of the breed. &nbsp;It also aims to promote, encourage and celebrate the human-canine bond - something that collies and their people excel at!<br><br>The program works on a points system&nbsp;– dogs earn points by completing levels of training or competition in any of five different categories. A basic title may be completed by earning only five points in three different categories, and the titles become more challenging from there! &nbsp;It is designed to be merit-based and to avoid similarities to AKC-style conformation competitions in any way.

A basic title may be completed by earning only five points in three different categories, and the titles become more challenging from there!  It is designed to be merit-based and to avoid similarities to AKC-style conformation competitions in any way. You must be a member in good standing to participate in the program.  Any dog who is registered in the SCPS database is eligible to earn points, titles and awards.<br /> <br />Cost to Participate: There is one-time $15 fee to join the program – this fee includes the cost of your dog’s first title and awards when they are earned.  There is no subsequent up-front cost to submit information to be reviewed for future titles.  <ul style=\"margin-top: 5px !important; margin-bottom: 5px !important; margin-left: 0px !important; padding-left: 3em !important; list-style-position: outside !important; list-style-image: initial !important;\"><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">Should it be determined by the judge’s panel that your dog has earned a subsequent title, you will be invoiced for $10, which will include a printed certificate and ribbon, shipped to you.  Your dog’s name will also be updated in the SCPS Registry to reflect the new title earned, and an announcement posted on the club Facebook page (please send us a picture of your dog with his/her award for the post).</li><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">Should it be determined that your dog has not earned a title, a member of the judges’ panel will contact you to let you know what is needed.</li><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">Fees to participate are designed to cover the cost of prizes and shipping.  The SCPS Versatility Committee reserves the right to adjust the fees if necessary.</li></ul><br />Judging: Materials submitted for consideration will be reviewed by a panel of volunteer judges.  The judges’ panel reserves the right to consult with outside experts when and if needed.  Please note that judges are all volunteers who evaluate entries outside of work hours; please be patient and give us a week from receipt of your submission to review your entry!  <br /><br />Titles to be offered for ‘Equivalent Work’: we happily solicit and accept documentation of your dog performing work around your farm or ranch that is roughly equivalent to the work required to earn titles at trials, competitions, etc.  What better way to show your dog’s instincts and training than the practical, ‘paws-on’ tasks they were developed to perform ‘in the field’? Please see the sections, below, on Categories, Titles, and Submitting Your Documentation for more information.<br />Sportsmanlike and Ethical Conduct: The SCPS Versatility Program is designed to support and celebrate the human/canine bond, and at the same time, relies in large part on the honor system.  We encourage sportsmanlike conduct and responsible dog ownership.<br />Questions are welcome!  Help us make this program run smoothly, clearly and efficiently.  Contact the Committee at <a style=\"color: inherit;

A basic title may be completed by earning only five points in three different categories, and the titles become more challenging from there! &nbsp;It is designed to be merit-based and to avoid similarities to AKC-style conformation competitions in any way. You must be a member in good standing to participate in the program. &nbsp;Any dog who is registered in the SCPS database is eligible to earn points, titles and awards.<br>&nbsp;<br>Cost to Participate:&nbsp;There is one-time $15 fee to join the program – this fee includes the cost of your dog’s first title and awards when they are earned. &nbsp;There is no subsequent up-front cost to submit information to be reviewed for future titles. &nbsp;</font><ul style=\"margin-top: 5px !important; margin-bottom: 5px !important; margin-left: 0px !important; padding-left: 3em !important; list-style-position: outside !important; list-style-image: initial !important;\"><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\"><font size=\"3\" color=\"#2a2a2a\">Should it be determined by the judge’s panel that your dog has earned a subsequent title, you will be invoiced for $10, which will include a printed certificate and ribbon, shipped to you. &nbsp;Your dog’s name will also be updated in the SCPS Registry to reflect the new title earned, and an announcement posted on the club Facebook&nbsp;page (please send us a picture of your dog with his/her award for the post).</font></li><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\"><font size=\"3\" color=\"#2a2a2a\">Should it be determined that your dog has not earned a title, a member of the judges’ panel will contact you to let you know what is needed.</font></li><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\"><font size=\"3\" color=\"#2a2a2a\">Fees to participate are designed to cover the cost of prizes and shipping. &nbsp;The SCPS Versatility Committee reserves the right to adjust the fees if necessary.</font></li></ul><font color=\"#2a2a2a\"><br><font size=\"3\">Judging:&nbsp;Materials submitted for consideration will be reviewed by a panel of volunteer judges. &nbsp;The judges’ panel reserves the right to consult with outside experts when and if needed. &nbsp;Please note that judges are all volunteers who evaluate entries outside of work hours; please be patient and give us a week from receipt of your submission to review your entry! &nbsp;<br><br>Titles to be offered for ‘Equivalent Work’:&nbsp;we happily solicit and accept documentation of your dog performing work around your farm or ranch that is roughly equivalent to the work required to earn titles at trials, competitions, etc. &nbsp;What better way to show your dog’s instincts and training than the practical, ‘paws-on’ tasks they were developed to perform ‘in the field’? Please see the sections, below, on Categories, Titles, and Submitting Your Documentation for more information.<br>Sportsmanlike and Ethical Conduct: The SCPS Versatility Program is designed to support and celebrate the human/canine bond, and at the same time, relies in large part on the honor system. &nbsp;We encourage sportsmanlike conduct and responsible dog ownership.<br>Questions are welcome! &nbsp;Help us make this program run smoothly, clearly and efficiently. &nbsp;Contact the Committee at&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:president@scottishcolliepreservationsociety.org\" title=\"\" style=\"color: inherit;

A basic title may be completed by earning only five points in three different categories, and the titles become more challenging from there!  It is designed to be merit-based and to avoid similarities to AKC-style conformation competitions in any way. You must be a member in good standing to participate in the program.  Any dog who is registered in the SCPS database is eligible to earn points, titles and awards.<br /> <br />Cost to Participate: There is one-time $15 fee to join the program – this fee includes the cost of your dog’s first title and awards when they are earned.  There is no subsequent up-front cost to submit information to be reviewed for future titles.  <ul style=\"margin-top: 5px !important; margin-bottom: 5px !important; margin-left: 0px !important; padding-left: 3em !important; list-style-position: outside !important; list-style-image: initial !important;\"><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">Should it be determined by the judge’s panel that your dog has earned a subsequent title, you will be invoiced for $10, which will include a printed certificate and ribbon, shipped to you.  Your dog’s name will also be updated in the SCPS Registry to reflect the new title earned, and an announcement posted on the club Facebook page (please send us a picture of your dog with his/her award for the post).</li><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">Should it be determined that your dog has not earned a title, a member of the judges’ panel will contact you to let you know what is needed.</li><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">Fees to participate are designed to cover the cost of prizes and shipping.  The SCPS Versatility Committee reserves the right to adjust the fees if necessary.</li></ul><br />Judging: Materials submitted for consideration will be reviewed by a panel of volunteer judges.  The judges’ panel reserves the right to consult with outside experts when and if needed.  Please note that judges are all volunteers who evaluate entries outside of work hours; please be patient and give us a week from receipt of your submission to review your entry!  <br /><br />Titles to be offered for ‘Equivalent Work’: we happily solicit and accept documentation of your dog performing work around your farm or ranch that is roughly equivalent to the work required to earn titles at trials, competitions, etc.  What better way to show your dog’s instincts and training than the practical, ‘paws-on’ tasks they were developed to perform ‘in the field’? Please see the sections, below, on Categories, Titles, and Submitting Your Documentation for more information.<br />Sportsmanlike and Ethical Conduct: The SCPS Versatility Program is designed to support and celebrate the human/canine bond, and at the same time, relies in large part on the honor system.  We encourage sportsmanlike conduct and responsible dog ownership.<br />Questions are welcome!  Help us make this program run smoothly, clearly and efficiently.  Contact the Committee at <a style=\"color: inherit;

You must be a member in good standing to participate in the program. &nbsp;Any dog who is registered in the SCPS database is eligible to earn points, titles and awards.<br>&nbsp;<br>Cost to Participate:&nbsp;There is one-time $15 fee to join the program – this fee includes the cost of your dog’s first title and awards when they are earned. &nbsp;There is no subsequent up-front cost to submit information to be reviewed for future titles. &nbsp;</font><ul style=\"margin-top: 5px !important; margin-bottom: 5px !important; margin-left: 0px !important; padding-left: 3em !important; list-style-position: outside !important; list-style-image: initial !important;\"><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\"><font size=\"3\" color=\"#2a2a2a\">Should it be determined by the judge’s panel that your dog has earned a subsequent title, you will be invoiced for $10, which will include a printed certificate and ribbon, shipped to you. &nbsp;Your dog’s name will also be updated in the SCPS Registry to reflect the new title earned, and an announcement posted on the club Facebook&nbsp;page (please send us a picture of your dog with his/her award for the post).</font></li><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\"><font size=\"3\" color=\"#2a2a2a\">Should it be determined that your dog has not earned a title, a member of the judges’ panel will contact you to let you know what is needed.</font></li><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\"><font size=\"3\" color=\"#2a2a2a\">Fees to participate are designed to cover the cost of prizes and shipping. &nbsp;The SCPS Versatility Committee reserves the right to adjust the fees if necessary.</font></li></ul><font color=\"#2a2a2a\"><br><font size=\"3\">Judging:&nbsp;Materials submitted for consideration will be reviewed by a panel of volunteer judges. &nbsp;The judges’ panel reserves the right to consult with outside experts when and if needed. &nbsp;Please note that judges are all volunteers who evaluate entries outside of work hours; please be patient and give us a week from receipt of your submission to review your entry! &nbsp;<br><br>Titles to be offered for ‘Equivalent Work’:&nbsp;we happily solicit and accept documentation of your dog performing work around your farm or ranch that is roughly equivalent to the work required to earn titles at trials, competitions, etc. &nbsp;What better way to show your dog’s instincts and training than the practical, ‘paws-on’ tasks they were developed to perform ‘in the field’? Please see the sections, below, on Categories, Titles, and Submitting Your Documentation for more information.<br>Sportsmanlike and Ethical Conduct: The SCPS Versatility Program is designed to support and celebrate the human/canine bond, and at the same time, relies in large part on the honor system. &nbsp;We encourage sportsmanlike conduct and responsible dog ownership.<br>Questions are welcome! &nbsp;Help us make this program run smoothly, clearly and efficiently. &nbsp;Contact the Committee at&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:president@scottishcolliepreservationsociety.org\" title=\"\" style=\"color: inherit;

A basic title may be completed by earning only five points in three different categories, and the titles become more challenging from there! &nbsp;It is designed to be merit-based and to avoid similarities to AKC-style conformation competitions in any way. You must be a member in good standing to participate in the program. &nbsp;Any dog who is registered in the SCPS database is eligible to earn points, titles and awards.<br>&nbsp;<br>Cost to Participate:&nbsp;There is one-time $15 fee to join the program – this fee includes the cost of your dog’s first title and awards when they are earned. &nbsp;There is no subsequent up-front cost to submit information to be reviewed for future titles. &nbsp;</font><ul style=\"margin-top: 5px !important; margin-bottom: 5px !important; margin-left: 0px !important; padding-left: 3em !important; list-style-position: outside !important; list-style-image: initial !important;\"><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\"><font size=\"3\" color=\"#2a2a2a\">Should it be determined by the judge’s panel that your dog has earned a subsequent title, you will be invoiced for $10, which will include a printed certificate and ribbon, shipped to you. &nbsp;Your dog’s name will also be updated in the SCPS Registry to reflect the new title earned, and an announcement posted on the club Facebook&nbsp;page (please send us a picture of your dog with his/her award for the post).</font></li><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\"><font size=\"3\" color=\"#2a2a2a\">Should it be determined that your dog has not earned a title, a member of the judges’ panel will contact you to let you know what is needed.</font></li><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\"><font size=\"3\" color=\"#2a2a2a\">Fees to participate are designed to cover the cost of prizes and shipping. &nbsp;The SCPS Versatility Committee reserves the right to adjust the fees if necessary.</font></li></ul><font color=\"#2a2a2a\"><br><font size=\"3\">Judging:&nbsp;Materials submitted for consideration will be reviewed by a panel of volunteer judges. &nbsp;The judges’ panel reserves the right to consult with outside experts when and if needed. &nbsp;Please note that judges are all volunteers who evaluate entries outside of work hours; please be patient and give us a week from receipt of your submission to review your entry! &nbsp;<br><br>Titles to be offered for ‘Equivalent Work’:&nbsp;we happily solicit and accept documentation of your dog performing work around your farm or ranch that is roughly equivalent to the work required to earn titles at trials, competitions, etc. &nbsp;What better way to show your dog’s instincts and training than the practical, ‘paws-on’ tasks they were developed to perform ‘in the field’? Please see the sections, below, on Categories, Titles, and Submitting Your Documentation for more information.<br>Sportsmanlike and Ethical Conduct: The SCPS Versatility Program is designed to support and celebrate the human/canine bond, and at the same time, relies in large part on the honor system. &nbsp;We encourage sportsmanlike conduct and responsible dog ownership.<br>Questions are welcome! &nbsp;Help us make this program run smoothly, clearly and efficiently. &nbsp;Contact the Committee at&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:president@scottishcolliepreservationsociety.org\" title=\"\" style=\"color: inherit;

A basic title may be completed by earning only five points in three different categories, and the titles become more challenging from there! &nbsp;It is designed to be merit-based and to avoid similarities to AKC-style conformation competitions in any way. You must be a member in good standing to participate in the program. &nbsp;Any dog who is registered in the SCPS database is eligible to earn points, titles and awards.<br>&nbsp;<br>Cost to Participate:&nbsp;There is one-time $15 fee to join the program – this fee includes the cost of your dog’s first title and awards when they are earned. &nbsp;There is no subsequent up-front cost to submit information to be reviewed for future titles. &nbsp;</font><ul style=\"margin-top: 5px !important; margin-bottom: 5px !important; margin-left: 0px !important; padding-left: 3em !important; list-style-position: outside !important; list-style-image: initial !important;\"><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\"><font size=\"3\" color=\"#2a2a2a\">Should it be determined by the judge’s panel that your dog has earned a subsequent title, you will be invoiced for $10, which will include a printed certificate and ribbon, shipped to you. &nbsp;Your dog’s name will also be updated in the SCPS Registry to reflect the new title earned, and an announcement posted on the club Facebook&nbsp;page (please send us a picture of your dog with his/her award for the post).</font></li><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\"><font size=\"3\" color=\"#2a2a2a\">Should it be determined that your dog has not earned a title, a member of the judges’ panel will contact you to let you know what is needed.</font></li><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\"><font size=\"3\" color=\"#2a2a2a\">Fees to participate are designed to cover the cost of prizes and shipping. &nbsp;The SCPS Versatility Committee reserves the right to adjust the fees if necessary.</font></li></ul><font color=\"#2a2a2a\"><br><font size=\"3\">Judging:&nbsp;Materials submitted for consideration will be reviewed by a panel of volunteer judges. &nbsp;The judges’ panel reserves the right to consult with outside experts when and if needed. &nbsp;Please note that judges are all volunteers who evaluate entries outside of work hours; please be patient and give us a week from receipt of your submission to review your entry! &nbsp;<br><br>Titles to be offered for ‘Equivalent Work’:&nbsp;we happily solicit and accept documentation of your dog performing work around your farm or ranch that is roughly equivalent to the work required to earn titles at trials, competitions, etc. &nbsp;What better way to show your dog’s instincts and training than the practical, ‘paws-on’ tasks they were developed to perform ‘in the field’? Please see the sections, below, on Categories, Titles, and Submitting Your Documentation for more information.<br>Sportsmanlike and Ethical Conduct: The SCPS Versatility Program is designed to support and celebrate the human/canine bond, and at the same time, relies in large part on the honor system. &nbsp;We encourage sportsmanlike conduct and responsible dog ownership.<br>Questions are welcome! &nbsp;Help us make this program run smoothly, clearly and efficiently. &nbsp;Contact the Committee at&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:president@scottishcolliepreservationsociety.org\" title=\"\" style=\"color: inherit;

A basic title may be completed by earning only five points in three different categories, and the titles become more challenging from there!  It is designed to be merit-based and to avoid similarities to AKC-style conformation competitions in any way. You must be a member in good standing to participate in the program.  Any dog who is registered in the SCPS database is eligible to earn points, titles and awards.<br /> <br />Cost to Participate: There is one-time $15 fee to join the program – this fee includes the cost of your dog’s first title and awards when they are earned.  There is no subsequent up-front cost to submit information to be reviewed for future titles.  <ul style=\"margin-top: 5px !important; margin-bottom: 5px !important; margin-left: 0px !important; padding-left: 3em !important; list-style-position: outside !important; list-style-image: initial !important;\"><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">Should it be determined by the judge’s panel that your dog has earned a subsequent title, you will be invoiced for $10, which will include a printed certificate and ribbon, shipped to you.  Your dog’s name will also be updated in the SCPS Registry to reflect the new title earned, and an announcement posted on the club Facebook page (please send us a picture of your dog with his/her award for the post).</li><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">Should it be determined that your dog has not earned a title, a member of the judges’ panel will contact you to let you know what is needed.</li><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">Fees to participate are designed to cover the cost of prizes and shipping.  The SCPS Versatility Committee reserves the right to adjust the fees if necessary.</li></ul><br />Judging: Materials submitted for consideration will be reviewed by a panel of volunteer judges.  The judges’ panel reserves the right to consult with outside experts when and if needed.  Please note that judges are all volunteers who evaluate entries outside of work hours; please be patient and give us a week from receipt of your submission to review your entry!  <br /><br />Titles to be offered for ‘Equivalent Work’: we happily solicit and accept documentation of your dog performing work around your farm or ranch that is roughly equivalent to the work required to earn titles at trials, competitions, etc.  What better way to show your dog’s instincts and training than the practical, ‘paws-on’ tasks they were developed to perform ‘in the field’? Please see the sections, below, on Categories, Titles, and Submitting Your Documentation for more information.<br />Sportsmanlike and Ethical Conduct: The SCPS Versatility Program is designed to support and celebrate the human/canine bond, and at the same time, relies in large part on the honor system.  We encourage sportsmanlike conduct and responsible dog ownership.<br />Questions are welcome!  Help us make this program run smoothly, clearly and efficiently.  Contact the Committee at <a style=\"color: inherit;
