The Dunbar Awards
(Page is a Work In Progress as of Sept 2023 as we try to compile every dog who had achieved this award)
The Dunbar awards are presented at the Annual General Meeting to Dogs ACT members to honour the dual achievement of dogs that have succeeded in
Conformation and Obedience competition.
They award three levels: Bronze for dogs that have gained their Championship and Companion Dog (CD) title, Silver for dogs that have gained their Championship and Open (CDX) title and Gold for dogs that have gained their Championship and Utility Dog (UD) title.
The Awards were introduced in 1973 and are named in honour of Colonel Redvers Dunbar (1900-1985). He was an Obedience and Tracking Judge, and Conformation Judge of Gundog and Terrier groups. Colonel Dunbar strongly believed that “dogs with the requisite breeding background benefitted from exposure to the two broad paths of canine development: betterment of the breed through competition in the show ring and obedience work”. He achieved great success with his beloved Labradors in Conformation, Obedience, Tracking and Retrieving. Colonel Dunbar was an Honorary Life Member of Dogs ACT and the ACT Companion Dog Club, where he served as President from 1963 to 1972.
Dogs ACT Regulations, Part 8.14 contain the requirements for the Dunbar Award
