The Orora Puppy Trophy
In 1977 the Orora Puppy Points Trophy was donated by Miss B. Harcourt-Brown. This was originally presented to the Beardie with the most placings gained in Breed Classes at Championship shows and Bearded Collie Club Open Shows provided that the Beardie was between 6 months and 12 months of age on the day of each show. In 1979 this was changed to restrict contenders to placings in Minor Puppy and Puppy Classes at all Championship and Breed Club Open Shows. Then finally in 1985 the qualification was changed to include placings at Championship Shows only.

Champion Blue Bonnie of Bothkennar Brood Bitch Salver (right)
These awards are made to the stud dog and brood bitch whose progeny gain the highest number of CCs over a calendar year provided that each progeny dog or bitch is counted once only. In the case of a draw the number of progeny gaining RCCs will be taken into account, each dog/bitch counting only once. If that fails to produce an outright winner then the stud dog/brood bitch's progeny with the higher number of BOBs wins.
