Titles

​​​​

Each title level has its own specific set of prerequisites to obtain it. These requirements can be found through the Official Title List. Follow the links to your chosen sport where you will find a breakdown of the individual requirements and the ribbons your dog can earn. You may not reuse requirements from one level to the next. Generally speaking, requirements tend to increase in amount and difficulty as you progress through each sport.

​​​

Qualifying Scores

Sporting events and shows award Qualifying scores to dogs who have scored high enough to earn the title they are competing for. You must have NEW qualifying scores (QS) for every level of title. Any show or event that awards qualifying scores can count towards an earned title, The Dog Fanciers Guild honors qualifying scores issued by all other associations.

Title Prompt Art

Most titles require a completed Title Prompt Art. The prompt list can be found below. All title prompt art should be unique for each level, this means you should create new prompt art for every new title you wish to earn. The minimum requirements for prompt art overall are as follows; however, some titles may have more specific regulations, so be sure to always double check your sport for any specific requirements.

Earning Titles
Once your dog has met all the requirements for a title level you may record the earned title within your dog's reference, add the prefix/suffix to his name, and collect the ribbons you've earned when available. Title records are managed completely by players, Dog Fanciers Guild does not regulate, monitor, or audit any title records. The Guild does not include earned titles in the studbook.
