The Hovawart Club of Great Britain
Tia Trophy Winners

Tia Trophy Winners

The Tia Trophy is awarded to recognise achievement outside the show ring. We have always felt that, although there are a lot of cups and trophies in the club for wins at the club show, very little recognition is afforded to those hovawarts that achieve in any other areas of life, and as the breed prides itself on its versatility and aptitude in every field of activity, we instituted the "Tia" trophy, awarded annually to the hovawart that, in the committee's opinion, has shown the breed in its best light. It is named for it's first recipient, "Tia", who reached the heights in Obedience competition, but you will see by the citations that the winners have many and varied achievements.

Nominations for the Tia Trophy are always welcomed.
