AMCC Awards
Each year the AMCC recognizes the accomplishments of our breed in both Conformation and Obedience. There are four statisticians; one for Conformation, Obedience, the Canadian Award of Merit for Conformation (CAM), and the Canadian Award of Merit for Obedience (CAMO). Statistics are compiled from the show and trials results published in the Cnadian Kennel Club " Official Section" of the "Dogs in Canada" magazine. The results are published on an annual basis in the AMCC's official newsletter. It is important for all members to ensure that any show result's printed in the CKC's publication are correct and if not inform the CKC of any inaccuracies.
Member of the Year Not necessarily awarded every year, this award recognizes the hard work and dedication of some members to our Breed and our Club. Once a year the AMCC Board solicits the membership through the newsletter, to nominate and provide a brief resume of an AMCC member that they feel should be recognized.From the nominations and resumes received, the Board may ten choose a candidate to receive this honourable award.

The Canadian Award of Merit for Conformation (CAM) The membership of the Alaskan Malamute Club of Canada
decided that it needed an award to recognize a top producer that was
based on more than just Champions produced. The AMCC wanted to recognize
kennels who were producing quality and not necessarily just churning
out numbers. So, in 1987 the AMCC approved the institution of the
Canadian Award of Merit. The Canadian Award of Merit is based on offspring earning points which are credited to their particular sire and dam: Qualifications: Bitch 10 points are required to be earned by the offspring of any female for her to qualify. Dog 15 points are required to be earned by the offspring of any male for him to qualify.
1 point for any Mal finishing its Canadian Championship. 2 points for any Mal winning a Group placing or Specialty Best of Breed 3 points for any Mal winning multiple (two or more)Group placings multiple Specialty (not Boosters) Best of Breed wins, or any combination thereof. 4 points for any Mal winning one or more All Breed - Best in Show
The Canadian Award of Merit
for Obedience The Alaskan Malamute is an intelligent, independant, easily bored, working dog. In the formal obedience ring, the Malamute has a reputation of being stubborn, hard to train, or a clown. When educated in a positive manner and not "rote" or "force trained", the Mal is capable of learning and excelling in a variety of activities. Indeed, Malamutes, like any other breed, certainly have the capabilities to learn the basic obedience skills of heel on or off a lead, stand for examination, come when calle, sit/stay (1 minute), and down stay (3 minutes). These basic living skills are what is tested in the Canadian Kenel Club's Novice level. Dogs successfully earning three qualifying scores earn the Companion Dog (CD) Degree.
