Hi all,

In pedigrees I often find Working Trial titles (CDex, UDex, WDex, TDex). In Holland we don't know this sport (unfortunately, it sounds very nice!). I have a good idea of what the sport is like, but I still have some questions left. Maybe you can help me?

I was wondering what the requiring are to get those titles. Maybe someone knows of a website that explains this? Is it difficult to get these titles? I mean... can you all get them in a few months, or does it require years of training. What does it say about the dog if he has those titles?

Hi

Working Trials test a dogs agility, obedience and ability to use it's nose to follow and discrimate scents and locate articles. They are not easy Trials and require years of training to gain the top levels.

The following link will give an overview of what is required.

Hope this helps
