Peggy Douglas was a devoted member of several clubs, including the GSDC of Houston. She mentored newcomers to our Breed and was always encouraging people to join and get involved in the local dog clubs and the GSDCA.
Bart Bartley introduced the Peggy Douglas Award to the GSDCA Board and it was quickly approved. When Gloria Birch became Chair of the Awards Committee, she suggested to Bart, who agreed, that they make a change from a single person recipient to an award given annually to one of the GSDCA Regional Clubs. The Board approved this change and in 2016 the first to receive the Peggy Douglas Award was the GSDC of Houston, which was Peggy’s club.
