Champian Breeder and Master Breeder Program

                                                                          

 

In 2012, WWC launched the Master/ChampionBreeder Program. The goal of the program is simply to recognize the outstanding accomplishments of exhibitors and to encourage future exhibitors to present the best birds they can for show.
Here is a review of how it works…

 WWC will recognize the highest scoring bird- aka Best of Show (this bird could be part of a team or asingle) and highest scoring team registered to WWC by WWC members for consideration. Birds who may have been registered (banded) to other Clubs,Societies and Federations prior to the 2013 show, will be “grandfathered in” if they meet the entry requirements for competition and were bred by a breeder who is a WWC member during the breeding season corresponding to the contest (i.e.: the 2012 breeding season corresponds to the January 2013contest).

 

 Breeders who have exhibited a Best of Show bird or Best of Show team, becomes a “ChampionBreeder”.

 

 To become a “MasterBreeder”, which is an even bigger honor, a breeder must show consistency by achieving a minimum of 3 Best of Show wins (any combination) over a minimum of two years, which do not have to be consecutive.

 

NOTE: Only Best of Show Awards are to be considered. Highest tour awards, highest scoring single bird awards, do not count for Champion Breeder or Master Breeder titles.

 Once a breeder has achieved this designation, it’s “forever” as long as the member continues to be in good standing with the club.

 

 Since the club founders have kept excellent records of our past shows, this program will be launched with the retroactive achievements of the exhibitors since WWC’s first show in 2001.

 

 “Champion” and “MasterBreeder” honor roll will be added to the WWC website. “Champion or Master” will be added to the WWC breeder list roster where appropriate and, these breeders are encouraged to add these “titles” to their business cards and personal websites. Those achieving new titles will be acknowledged in annual post show newsletters.
