The  USKBTC-Charitable Funds Kerry It Forward Award

Since 2010 Annually Honoring the Kerry Blue Terrier’s Canine-Humanitarian Contribution to Society and the Individual

In 2010, Bob Nazak and Dr. Jann Lane believed that the Kerry Blue Terrier provided a special contribution to our Kerry breed community that had not been recognized. That contribution was its heart and its desire to give back, beyond its devotion to its owners. Today, sadly, Bob and Martha Nazak are no longer with us, but would be pleased to know that we continue to honor members of our breed who share their special gifts of the heart.

The love of a Kerry Blue Terrier is a special gift we are all fortunate to have experienced. However, there are some Kerries who choose to share that gift in special ways with their family members or with others facing life challenges, outside the family. The Kerry It Forward Award honors those Kerry Blues who demonstrate the canine humanitarian bond in these exceptional ways. The award is not a competition; there can be as many recipients as Kerries that qualify.
