I see lots of dogs with CH by their name, and I assume this means they're a show champ. How do they earn the title? Do they simply win say a national show to get it?
I know in the German conformation I do with my dogs, to get Sieger (victor, the highest title), you have to win a national or above level event, with a VA (excellent-select) conformation rating. VA can ONLY be earned at a national or above level event. You then have V (excellent), SG (very good) and G (good). Anything below a G is a fault and dq.
For example, my boy is V Dominus Tiberius, SchH3, BH, AD, CGC, kkl1.
It means he had excellent conformation in a German style event with at least a 90 in each event (V), he's titled master schutzhund (SchH3), has passed the physical fitness 12.5 mile run (AD), he's passed the companion dog/traffic sureness test (BH), he's a canine good citizen (CGC-looks good to the neighborhood), and he's "recommended for breeding" (kkl1).
I'm roughly fimiliar with the AKC style titles and what they mean, but how do you earn it?
I'm thinking about doing agility with my old man and we're doing tracking with our girl, and I think it would be cool to have some AKC titles for the old man too. I know he could do fantastically at agility...
Sorry for the rambling nature of this post, I'm having trouble expressing my thoughts on this...
