An explanation of titles
Many of the dogs used in my breeding programme have achieved various performance titles.
Here is an explanation of what they mean. **** THIS LIST IS NOT YET COMPLETE - STILL A WORK IN PROGRESS! ****
KS Kurzhaar Sieger - what I consider the pinacle of working titles for utility gundogs, it also contains a conformation component. These
tests are conducted in Germany.
WS
Dual Ch Dual Champion - a champion in both conformation (Show) and one type of active performance (ie, Field, Retrieving, Obedience,
Tracking, Agility)
Ch A show champion
NRD Novice Retrieving Dog
RRD Restricted Retrieving Dog
AARD All Age Retrieving Dog
Rt Ch Retrieving Trial Champion
NFD Novice Field Dog

** There are a large number of both Agility and Jumping titles (in Australia, anyway) of which I confess to have very little little
understanding, so I will not attempt to list these here. There are some fantastic Agility websites on the net which would
comprehensively explain the different titles available in both of these very active, very fun, fields.
