We have donated several Perpetual Trophies to the ACT Weimaraner Club.
These are trophies that we have bought ourselves which are for a particular
award, one is for Challenge Bitch and one is the Puppy of Breed. It is
allowed to be taken home by the winner and then must be returned for the
next show for the next winner.

There isn't anything given back to the people donating perpetual trophies I
think its just another award but we name them after special dogs, some are
in memory of a dead dog.

Its a donation to a club so it should have to be any particular value but
some clubs here like the Royal shows I think there is a value a trophy must
be and its very expensive but don't think so for regular clubs.
