Each piece is embossed with our TVKC Logo. In order to continue this tradition, we ask our members to help by sponsoring a trophy or two. Along with Best in Show, we always give Group One winners a piece of pottery, regardless of sponsorship, so we really need your help. If you prefer, you can elect to be more specific in your sponsorship, such as rewarding your favorite breed's Best of Winners, or Winners Dog etc... Meet some of our membersAKC Sportsmanship Award
