IMPORTANT NOTICE TO ALL LV/DVG AMERICA MEMBERS REGARDING APPLICATIONS FOR SCOREBOOKS

As of April 1, 2011, scorebooks from DVG are no longer free. This decision was made at the DVG Board meeting held the last weekend in March. The charge for scorebooks for all DVG members is now $18.00 US. DVG America members may no longer fax their scorebook applications directly to the DVG office in Germany. All scorebook applications must be sent to LV Secretary, Sandi Purdy. Each application must be accompanied by a check in the amount of $18.00 made out to LV/DVG America. Sandi will fax the applications to the DVG office as soon as she receives them, noting on the application that the LV has been paid.

This change in procedure is effective immediately. Do not send any scorebook applications directly to the DVG office. Mail them with accompanying check in the amount of $18 as follows:

Sandi Purdy, Secretary
LV/DVG America
2101 Westmoreland Road
Red Oak, TX 75154

The DVG office has been asked to return any applications received after the posting of this notice on our website.

*Note to club presidents/membership officers: If a new joining member wishes to apply for a scorebook at the same time, the membership application and membership dues check and a separate scorebook application with a separate $18.00 check, payable to LV/DVG America, must be sent through your KG membership officer.

New Procedure for Trials:

Please note that, starting immediately, we do have a new procedure for hosting trials.

You will no longer receive the Trial Package (containing the trial paperwork) from Germany, but instead, Germany will send me a confirmation of the approved trial applications with their respective trial numbers, which I will pass on to the club/trial chairperson.

The club will be responsible to print out the Judge’s Trial Report and Judge’s Books (as needed), and then fill them out as usual. Please make sure you put the trial number (which I will provide) on the Trial Report form. As usual, you will need to provide 3 copies of the Judge’s Trial Report.

The forms are available on our DVG America Website under “DVG Forms”.

As always, please send me your trial applications as early as possible. If you have alternate dates please send me those as well, preferably on a separate piece of paper.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me via E-mail at Hartmut.Beckmann@qwest.com

ATTENTION
ALL dogs must have either a tattoo number or a microchip number before the DVG office will issue a scorebook. Scorebooks will NOT be issued if the application does not include a tattoo or microchip number.

Honor Medals

Information about earning and awarding Service Honor Medals and the Application Form can be found at http://www.dvgamerica.com/dvgforms.html under "DVG Membership Related Forms"

The two adults do not have to have the same last name. This definition of EP which translates into “spouse” excludes any other family relationships or same sex partners.
