Getting Started

Titles represent a dog's accomplishments in a given sport. They are officially recorded proof of your dog's achievements. There are many titles available through the Dog Fanciers Guild and nearly every officially sanctioned sport has its own ribbons. To learn more about how to earn titles see below. To see a complete list of titles offered by the Dog Fanciers Guild please see our Title List.

​

Championships are titles awarded for accolades in a dogs lifetime career. Dog Fanciers Guild Championships are earned by the accumulation of career Award Points. There are three types of Champion Titles available through the Guild: Conformation Championships, Sporting Championships, and Versatility Championships.

Certifications are proof of mastery over specific skills, abilities, or achievements. These credentials prove that a dog, handler, or kennel, meets the Guild's regulation standard for that certification. To apply for a certificate please use the Certificate Application channel on the discord.
