Celebrating COGRC’s Legacy of Achievements
Achievement Wall Application Instructions
Congratulations! COGRC is excited to highlight the accomplishments of you and your dog! Dogs are recognized at three different levels determined by the level of the title(s) they have earned. The title levels are in alignment with the GRCA Outstanding Dam/Outstanding Sire guidelines. As other titles are added, they will be categorized according to those guidelines.
Step 1. Select a photo
To ensure your enlarged print turns out perfectly clear and vibrant, it’s important to start with a high-quality original photo. Follow these guidelines.
-
Original should be a digital high-resolution photo. See the table below for recommended resolutions for the different print sizes.
- Photo hasn't been cropped from the original.
- Make sure the photo has plenty of extra background around the subject(s). This allows for optimal positioning of subject(s) within the designated size area. About 3 mm of your photo will be trimmed during manufacturing. To make sure no important parts are cut off, leave a little extra space around the edges of your photo.

Photo FAQs
On an Android phone or tablet, find your photo and then swipe up to see all of the photo details. The resolution of the photo is displayed in the same format of “width x height”.
I don’t know the resolution for my photo. Is there another way to see if my photo meets the resolution requirements?
- Go to mixtiles.com.
- Select Shop Now.
- Enter your name and email.
- Click Photo Tiles.
- Click Start Creating, Photo Tiles, and upload your photo.
- Select these options:
- Frame: Black
- Size: Choose the correct size for your achievement level (12" x 12", 12" x 16", etc.)
- Effect: Original
- No Border
- Click the photo to resize or reposition the photo within the frame.
- When you are finished, click Done.
If your photo doesn't meet the resolution requirements, you'll see an error message.
Depending upon the photo, enlargement size, and some other factors, it may still be possible to get an acceptable enlargement from a photo that does not meet resolution requirements. However, that can't be guaranteed by the print manufacturer. It is a choice you will have to make. Your other option is to choose a different photo.
What if I have a print photo I want to submit?
A print photo can be professionally scanned and digitized to a high resolution image. When seeking this service, refer to the chart to determine the required resolution of the size print for your desired achievement level. Inform the service representative of the required resolution you are seeking.
After your photo is digitized, a professional service can also provide options for enhancing your photo, if desired.
The cost of digitizing a print photo and any desired enhancements are the responsibility of the club member. Please allow sufficient time for your print to be digitized in advance of any application deadlines.
Minuteman Press offers high quality services that can both digitize and enhance your photos.
