MEAGHAN DEER CHASER WEICK MEMORIAL AWARD

Meaghan Deer Chaser was an outstanding Miniature Schnauzer owed by long-time Saguaro Scramblers club member, Ray Weick. Ray and Meaghan were an exemplary display of teamwork and sportsmanship. Throughout their career they had many accomplishments. They qualified in seven Grand Prix events, winning five. They ran in seven National semi-finals and one national final (1996). In 1996 they were also members of the mini-relay team which placed second. In July of 1994 Meaghan and Ray became the first team in Arizona to go MAD. In 1996 they earned their ADCH. In November of 1999 Meaghan was tragically lost in an accident. The Meaghan Award was instituted in the spring of 2000 and is awarded each year to the highest scoring Arizona Masters dog at the Saguaro Scramblers spring USDAA trial. The winner is calculated using standard runs only: standard course time – dog’s time + faults; dog with the highest score wins.

DORMARTH MEMORIAL AWARD

Dormarth was a spunky Basset Hound owned by Saguaro Scramblers club member Gwyn Harney. Dormarth spent her career running in Performance demonstrating that being an athlete is more about heart and determination than physical ability. In 2003, she earned her PD3 title. Dormarth was the first, and so far only, basset to earn P3 titles in standard, snooker, and gamblers and in 2006 she became an Accomplished Snooker Dog. She was the first basset to have a qualifying run (first place!) in the Performance National Standard (Performance Grand Prix). Sadly, Dormarth died in March 2007 just a couple weeks after her last agility trial where she had a qualifying run in P3 gamblers, her favorite event. She was a fighter to the end. The Dormarth Award has been created by Saguaro Scramblers to honor the highest scoring Arizona Performance 3 dog at the Saguaro Scramblers spring USDAAâ trial. The winner must be a career Performance dog and not have earned any titles in the  Championship program. The winner is calculated using standard runs only: standard course time – dog’s time + faults; dog with the highest score wins.
