AKC Breeder of the Year, Working Group
This annual award honors breeders who have dedicated their lives to improving the health, temperament, and quality of purebred dogs. A breeder, or pair of breeders, is recognized as Breeder of the Year in each of the seven Groups. (Kuvaszok are part of the Working Group.) One of the seven Group recipients is then chosen as the Breeder of the Year.
