The National Beagle Council (Australia) Award of Merit is the highest honour that can be given to a Beagle in Australia. It is given to beagles who are truly outstanding within the breed and have contributed to it in some way in Australia, as judged by the Beagle fraternity across the country. We are very proud of these dogs. The criteria for this award is in the Bylaws of the Council.
