The Stanley J. Kosowicz Memorial Trophy
This perpetual trophy was initiated in 1991 with the addition of the Amateur Waling Hunting Dog Stake, a non-regular stake, at the AKC licensed May field trial. It is named for a former Northern New England Brittany Club president who was named an Honorary Member of NNEBC by the Board of Directors in 1988. Judgement in this stake ceases at flush. The trophy is awarded each year to the highest placing NNEBC Member in the stake. This stake is very popular with Club members. Pointing dogs six months or older who do not have a placement in an AKC regular stake for the prior two years are eligible. In 1998 all four placements were by Brittanys entered by club members, with two other Brittanys of club members closely contesting.
