Could be interesting?

I think like a glossary? What DO all of those abbreviations mean?

I can do a few:

CGC - Canine Good Citizen
Not really a title, but a certification offered by the American Kennel Club (AKC) for any and all breeds. A demonstration of good manners

AKC - American Kennel Club
Largest breed registry in America. FCI supported. Does not recognize the Dutch Shepherd as a breed.

UKC - United Kennel Club
Slightly smaller breed registry that does recognize the Dutch Shepherd. However, to get UKC recognition, you only need to submit three pictures and a pedigree which will not be researched. Therefore there are many direct malinois X in the UKC registry. Technically dogs need to be 3 generations pure brindle for registration, but again, it is not researched.

TDI - Therapy Dogs International
Also not really a title, but refers to dogs that have passed an evaluation as a therapy dog. This evaluation is offered by many groups: Therapy Dogs International, Therapy Dogs Inc., Delta Society....

PSA - Protection Sports Association
A suit based, senario protection sport offering a PDC (Protection Dog Certificate) and three levels; PSA1, PSA2 and PSA3.

USDAA - United States Dog Agility Association
Multi-breed agility.

NADAC - North American Dog Agility Counsel
Multi-breed agility.

CPE - Canine Performance Sports (?)
Multi-breed agility.

Marjolein, time for some chastising... You threw out some acronyms yourself and then didn't provide any explanation, your turn!

Please look - I've created a new section (FAQ) and will create a new post for this topic. I'll copy Christie's response over to that.

Seems to not be the option to post a reply in the FAQ for acronyms. FYI. (at least, I can't see it when I'm logged in)

try it now and let me know.
