The award will be a certificate suitable for framing signed by the president of the club and Versatility committee representative to include the following information:

ONE certificate will be presented per dog for each award tier.
A keepsake memento commemorating the award will be awarded at the club's discretion.
Award tier structure is as follows:
- The Bronze Award is presented to the Kerry Blue Terrier earning titles in two different disciplines.
- The Silver Award is presented to the Kerry Blue Terrier earning titles in three different disciplines.
- The Gold Award is presented to the Kerry Blue Terrier earning titles in four different disciplines.
- The Platinum Award is presented to the Kerry Blue Terrier earning titles in five different disciplines.
- The Emerald Award is presented to the Kerry Blue Terrier earning titles in six different disciplines.
- The Diamond Award is presented to the Kerry Blue Terrier earning titles in seven different disciplines.
* Note: Canine Good Citizen (CGC) Temperament Testing (TT) and Therapy Dog Test (TDI) along with other temperament test certifications are not considered competitive titles. Therefore they do not qualify as eligible disciplines for these awards. These titles may be included in the dog's name as stated on Award should the owner wish them. The owner is responsible for submitting the dog's name as it should appear on the award.
NOTE:
The accomplishment of any of these disciplines may take more than one fiscal year to achieve. Therefore the applicant may submit an application along with proof of awards at any time in the dog's competitive life provided that he/she submit the application by the prescribed fiscal year deadline to qualify for that year's award presentations. A separate award and certificate will be awarded for each additional discipline tier achieved no matter what time frame is required to achieve that award. Example: Dog A is already a Ch., CDX, TD. Therefore he will immediately qualify under (3) disciplines (conformation, obedience, tracking) making the dog eligible to receive (2) awards (Bronze and Silver) from the club.
SPECIAL NOTE: To recognize those members who have achieved multiple disciplines in the past with their dogs, awards will be offered to eligible title holders (with proper application and proof of title) retroactive back to and including the year 1995. All titles (as listed above) earned are eligible for tier qualification provided that dog has earned at least ONE discipline title after 1995.
