The Anna Fraser Memorial Award is offered for the Best Working in Specialty in memory of founding member J. Anna Fraser for whom “essentially a working terrier” were more than just words in the standard.To honour her passion, this year’s award will be one of four Working Border Terrier Figurines by Northumbrian artist Peter Miles donated by friends of the late Anna Fraser.
In recognition of the importance of those words in our standard, the Working Class (Field Class in the Premium List) is an official class.
This means that the winners of Working Dog and Working Bitch will compete for Best in Specialty along with the Specials, Veteran Winners, Winners Dog and Winners Bitch.Following Best in Specialty, the winners of the Working Dog and Working Bitch classes will return to the ring to compete for Best Working unless it is automatic.Because it is an official class, to be eligible dogs must hold a CKC Canadian Earthdog Title (JE, SE, AVE, ME). Spayed bitches and neutered dogs may compete as long as they hold a qualifying title.
