When researching Standard Poodles, you’ll often see abbreviations and titles listed before and after a dog’s name. These designations represent accomplishments, health certifications, performance achievements, and other information that helps tell the story of a dog’s background.
While some titles reflect success in conformation shows, others demonstrate working ability, obedience, agility, hunting instincts, therapy work, or other achievements. Health certifications and genetic testing information may also appear on pedigrees and registration documents.
For families looking for a puppy, the most important thing to understand is that a pedigree is only part of the picture. Health, temperament, socialization, training, and responsible breeding practices all play important roles in producing a well-rounded companion.
The reference guide below explains many of the abbreviations commonly found on AKC pedigrees and registration documents.
