AKC & UKC Title Explanation

Often, I have received feedback from friends and customers letting me know they don’t fully understand all of the titles associated with AKC or UKC pedigrees.  It is important to Bourbon City Retrievers that we provide you with a guide as you do your research.  You will notice when reviewing our dog’s pedigrees that we carefully select what we consider the best pedigree lines in the business. 

American Kennel Club (Field Trials)

​Field trials are much different then hunt test in that all the dogs are competing against each other in a test. (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th place & JAMs are awarded.)

​There are 2 categories of Field Trials: OPEN & AMATEUR

OPEN Titles

  • NFC – National Field Champion
  • FC – Field Champion

Amateur Titles

  • NAFC – National Amateur Field Champion
  • AFC – Amateur Field Champion

Non-Titles (seen at the end of names)

  • QAA or QA2 – Qualified All Age – A dog has passed enough qualifying (and has points) to compete in the OPEN or AMATEUR Trials

To Find out more about the AKC Field Trials please visit the American Kennel Club.

  • MNH – Master National Hunter — have to pass the Master National 3 times to earn title. If a number follows the title (MNH4 or MNH5) that particular dog passed the National the # of times.
  • MH – Master Hunter — Top level AKC title
  • SH — Senior Hunter — Intermediate Level Hunt Test
  • JH — Junior Hunter — Entry level Hunt test

Note: Some dogs may have the title MNR, which is also a major accomplishment. It is awarded by the Master National Retriever Club to dogs that have passed the Master National 2 times. This is a “club” title and not part of a dog’s pedigree. For more information please visit Master National.

United Kennel Club (Hunting Retriever Club)

UKC Bases has a points based system. Along with specific levels of tests. You will notice within our website dogs with “Honorable 1000 point Club”. This would be an example of the UKC point system.

  • HRCH – Hunting Retriever Champion — Finished Level Hunt test
  • HR — Hunting Retriever — Seasoned Level Hunt Test
