Einstein Award for Outstanding Rottweiler Ambassador
This award will be presented posthumously to a deserving canine candidate
who died in the calendar year prior to the National Specialty (2007) and
who was distinguished in the area of therapy, rescue or education. All
nominations should highlight the dog’s accomplishments over the course
of its lifetime and be accompanied by no fewer than three reference letters
and other proof of accomplishments. The nominated Rottweiler does not
need to have any titles, nor does the owner need to be a member of ARC.
It is the intent that only one award be given each year; however, in unusual
circumstances more than one may be conferred or if there are no qualified
applicants, then no award may be given. Dede Brownstein will make a recommendation
for the ARC Board’s approval. A perpetual trophy will be maintained by
Dede and Mark Brownstein and the recipient will receive an engraved plaque
for permanent possession.

In 2005, the ARC Board approved the addition of two new awards:
American Rottweiler Club Good Samaritan Award
A letter of recognition and a certificate will be awarded to any person
who, in the opinion of the ARC Board of Directors, has aided and/or promoted
an individual Rottweiler or our breed in some outstanding way. This award
is intended for someone who does not own a Rottweiler, but it does not
preclude someone who does from being honored.
American Rottweiler Club Heroism Award
A letter of recognition and a certificate will be awarded to any Rottweiler
that, in the opinion of the ARC Board of Directors, has performed an act
of “heroism”. The dog need not be owned by an ARC member.
Nominees for either of the above awards may be submitted to the ARC
Board at any time during the year, when the act/incident for which they
are nominated occurs. Nominations may be made by anyone; they do not
have to be an ARC member. After the Board has approved the award, the
ARC Secretary will mail the letter and certificate to the recipient(s)
of the award(s). At the same time information about the recipient and
the circumstances of the act will be submitted to the ARK Editor for
publication in the next newsletter and to the ARC Webmaster for the
ARC website. There is no limit to the number of times this award may
be approved in a given year, nor is there any requirement that any need
be presented.
Past recipients of the Good Samaritan Award include: Larry
Johnson; Norm Schaefer; Linda Stoltz; Jeff Armstrong; Rep. Tom Campbell;
Mary Strauss; Cathy Veridel.
