In support of the Versatile Poodle, Versatility In Poodles, Inc., established on August 5, 1994, the Versatility Award to give special recognition to Poodles who have excelled in multiple areas of achievement.

The Award has three levels: VC (Versatility Certificate) and VCX (Versatility Certificate Excellent) and VCM (Versatility Certificate Master). The VC is designed to be within the reach of most Poodles regardless of size or owner’s available time or skill. The VCX requires more advanced accomplishments.
