I had no idea there are so many agility titles!

I would like to see a dog with it's TC? Anyone know of any?

Add in the other venues (UKC, CPE, NADAC, USDAA) and you can get quite the alphabet soup...and that's just agility!!

There are no living Dual Champions in labradors so no to a TC. There might be some in some of the less "common" retrievers, chessies or flat coats maybe.

[Little Boomer]

I had always wondered what all those agility abbreviations were! Thanks.

I've been seeing many posts referring to it lately, so while we're on the subject what does CPE stand for?

CPE is an agility venue and stands for Canine Performance events. www.k9cpe.com

[R&R's Mum]

I believe there is ONE living almost Triple Champion, a Golden Retriever, who finished his conformation title under a Labrador Breeder judge (I believe Mike Lanctot, otherwise it was Pat) about 2-3 years ago...

Now to try to remember his name.

Got it!

I had to drop our NADAC and CPE titles. It gets confusing.

I think there are a few triple or even quadruple border collie champions... could be wrong though.

[CanyonLabradors]

We just do UKC and AKC. We earned our first UKC title the other week, and those go in FRONT of the names.

Can this be a sticky? It was only posted recently but as time goes by it will be harder to find.

CTL1-S, CTL1-R, CTL1-H What do these mean? They are not in the list. I think they are agility? I googled and found them listed with a teacup agility site but no definition was given. They are listed at the dam of English Shepherd pups my sister has her name in for. The kennel is in the U.S.

OK, did my search a different way and found the website above which has a much longer list, though not all are titles.

[Doreen M]

Those are CPE agility titles. For example, CTL1-S is Level 1 Enthusiast Strategy. See their rulebook. http://www.k9cpe.com/forms/2009rulebook.pdf It looks very complicated, but once you go to a show and log in information in your own record book (they provide when you register your dog), you get the hang of it. I've enjoyed the two CPE trials we were in very much.
