    Pros? Cons?

    I've been looking at either taking the CGC test (AKC) or the SPOT test (UKC) with Dixie and I was just wondering if there was one that's preferred over the other? Or any pros and cons?

    Thanks in advance!

    The UKC version is brand new. Evaluators are just being certified now. I don't know what they test off hand. I imagine the same as the CGC. I would start with the CGC.

    Not familiar with the UKC version. Did get Bandit's CGC certification. He was older, so laid back, he aced it.

    Thank yall!

    The UKC version is very similar to the CGC test. I actually found a trainer a couple of towns over who is certified to evaluate both tests. So I'm debating doing both with Dixie.

    If I run into an event that has the UKC version, I'll do it with my guys. All the dogs other than the pups have their CGCs, and they are all UKC registered, so I'll eventually do it, just to do it.

    Why not! You only live once. The world is your oyster and if you want to do both, you do it! I believe in the Lab board mojo to fufill all of our doggies' hopes, dreams, and doggy ambitions

    Does anyone know the correct posessive and plural spelling of doggy/doggie?
