The following are requirements to be considered for selection to the AWDF international team:

1. You must have earned a minimum of 2 FHs with a minimum score of 80 with your dog.

2. You must submit a letter along with your application stating that you would like to be considered for selection for the team.

3. Include a copy of your scorebook, breed club that you are a member, of and the dog's pedigree.

The two team members will be selected by taking the highest average of the top two scores in the scorebook.
