Register of Honor & Versatility Award Eligibility

The Staffordshire Bull Terrier has the ability and heart to succeed in any line of work proven by their large numbers in many different dog sports from agility to coursing to pet therapy! Staffordshire Bull Terriers have not only dabbled in these activities but also have won the highest titles available!
The SBTCA is proud to introduce a ROH and Versatility Award Program to promote the participation in diverse activities and to recognize those who successfully compete in multiple venues.

If you are an SBTCA member in good standing and have an SBT working in performance events, you may be eligible for these awards. In addition, the owner must have been an SBTCA member at the time of the last qualifying title for the award earned. Proof of membership at time award was achieved is required where feasible and reasonable effort should be taken to provide. Otherwise, the honor system will apply.

Venues of competition currently recognized by the programs include AKC and comparable titles. All eligible titles are noted on the worksheet. When considering comparable eligible titles to meet the requirements, you must use one or the other. You may not submit an AKC agility and an equivalent USDAA agility title for the required two different performance titles. Regular or Preferred titles will be counted, but not both. Eligible performance titles will be updated as needed.

Each application for ROH or Versatility must include a minimum of one off leash performance component. .
