Our lab club (PSLRA) celebrates the All Around Lab, so it encourages members to put titles on their dogs. For the non-conformation bred Labs, there is a Versatility Award where you have to title in at least 3 different areas (obed, hunt test, tracking, agility, therapy...). Last I knew, the minimum qualifying titles are the original novice levels so CD, JH, etc for that though for the All Around a WC counts. They recently allowed RN to count too, though in all honesty, I think if you start your foundations relatively early, a 6-9 mo old could earn the RN. I may enter Kanzi in Rally Nov in ~2 mos if she doesn't turn into a mega brat by then, just as an experiment.
Anyhow, that's my roundabout way of saying there are SO many things you CAN do with a lab, that not many choose a career in Obed.
