Front and Finish has put together an extensive list...here's what they have to say:
Have you ever wondered what the titles attached to a dog's name mean? By now you probably know N is for Novice, CD is a Companion Dog and if a title is followed by a Ch this dog is a Champion. But maybe you have met a dog whose credentials are Greek to you! We hope the following pages help you sort out the various titles awarded to canines in competition. These pages provide a listing of various registries and titles they offer to competing dogs.Be sure and bookmark this page, keep it handy! And if you get a chance, drop them a note and thank them for compiling all this wonderful info! Nice job Front and Finish!

That is nice to have in one place! I get confused too. I'm going to enter Chase in USDAA this year and have no idea about their titles!
ReplyDeleteVery good info. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteTHANKS!! I was curious to what they all mean!!
ReplyDeleteHow many of them do you have???
Hope you and mum are doing better!!
The Bay Team has been working on this page where all titles are listed in alphabetical order, so if you know the abbreviation but nothing else, you can find it. So far we have only USDAA, CPE, and AKC, but boy, there are a lot of abbreviations these days!
ReplyDeleteWow Johann!
ReplyDeleteAll those titles sure confuse me - I'll make sure to go thank those guys.
Wow Ellen, that's quite a great list your club has, very nice. I need to link to it on my Squidoo lens on Dog Agility! Thanks!
