Registration papers, health certificates -- what do they look like?

[observer]

They refer to various titles and certifications. I think there was another thread recently about what all the letters stand for, but I didn't look at it closely.

EDIT: Here, take a look at this one:

many thanks. I have some listed on my pedigree that arent listed on that page..

Theres alot of SCH 3 FH......... CDX SCH3 GOLD SIRE..........
A/C SELECT BISS BIS CH..... TD.......TT........CDX IPO 3 SCH3........
A UD C CDX.........

Now I really went and screwed myself up...

[jute]

Almost everyone dog on the ancestry pedigree has either CH, A/C CH, INTL CH, BISS SELECT A/C CH. I can assume that the Ch means Champion?

[jute]

Is it agains the rules to scan a copy of the pedigree leaving the breeders info out? Maybe someone can disipher this for me..

[jute]

OK, I finally found the exhaustive thread about titles. Still cant find a few though.. thanks again.

One of the links in that other thread sorts out the Schutzhund (SCH) titles for you. CH is champion, A/C Ch is American/Canadian Champion, Intl CH I assume is International Champion.

CDX and UD are obedience titles...Companion Dog Excellent and Utility Dog.

All the "letters" in front of the dog's name refer to conformation titles and the rest of the "alphabet" after the dog's name refers to working titles … and hd/ed status!

[jute]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH, that clears some things up Thank you.

[jute]

1 more question if you would be so kind?

What does silver sire and gold sire mean?

[observer]

That I'm not sure about, but I think it refers to an award given to sires whose offspring have been successful in their own right in the show ring.

[jute]

Thank you again.

I hate the long post thing.......

The American Rottweiler club (ARC) offers points for titles earned by offspring. In order to be a Bronze, Silver or Gold producer, a dog or bitch must produce a certain number of Champions, and then also attain a certain number of points (based on titles earned by offspring).

I will throw one wrench into Damp's statement above. CT (Champion Tracker), OTCh (Obedience Trial Champion), HC (Herding Champion) and MACH (Master Agility Champion) are all titles that go before the dog's name, but are performance titles, not conformation.

Now Im starting to see the light. thanks
