MPCA Triple Crown Award

Triple Crown Award:

Purpose: To promote the human/dog relationship, bond in the Miniature Pinscher breed and to recognize outstanding achievement in conformation and performance events.

An engraved Lucite plaque will be presented to each Triple Crown Awardee for the first Triple Crown at the Annual Awards Banquet during the National Specialty. Additional Triple Crown Awards will be hanging tags that attach to the original plaque.
Requirements for the Triple Crown Award:

  1. Must be a MPCA member in good standing whose dog qualifies as having completed three (3) different AKC approved titles from three (3) different AKC approved venues with the most recent title earned in the awards year.
  2. Must complete the nomination form as instructed

FORM MUST BE SUBMITTED BY FEBRUARY 1ST OF THE YEAR FOLLOWING THE TITLE(S)

Please email the form below and scan or send a picture of each title/certificate earned to:

Judy Stout-Reynolds
Email to:  satinminpins@gmail.com


It is suggested that you email this form with EACH new title earned – do not wait until the end of the year. The statistician will confirm via email that your information has been received and where your dog stands as far as the requirements for the Triple Crown.

As new titles are added to each venue every year, your AKC certificate will tell us which title is the “new” one. By sending a copy of the certificate, we can verify that titles are being earned in different venues.

As new venues are added by AKC the Club will determine to which category the new venue will be classified. A venue may be used more than once as more titles are earned; however, the venue can only be used once each year for each triple crown.
