"Year-End Title" certificates are awarded to members in recognition of their involvement and accomplishments with their dogs throughout the year. The intent is to reward club members that participate in AKC and/or GSDCA events. The club will award a "Year-End Title" certificate to any German Shepherd Dog owned or co-owned by a member in good standing of the German Shepherd Dog Club of Greater Kansas City who earns a title or certificate in any American Kennel Club (AKC) or German Shepherd Dog Club of America (GSDCA) event. The recognition year begins on December 1st and ends on November 25th of the following year. All titles earned after November 25th will be awarded the next recognition year. The deadline for submission of title documentation is November 30th of the current recognition year. Certificates are awarded at the Awards Presentation Meeting in December.
