2. All owners of the dog at the time of application for a VES title must be members of ESAA, as well as at the time each credential was earned. 
3. Application for VES titles for deceased dogs may be made as long as all owners of the dog are members of ESAA at the time of application, as well as at the time each credential was earned.  Membership lists in ESAA Annuals will be used for verification.
