TCOTC Achievement Record

For awards involving three scores, all three scores must be submitted on the same form if two were earned in prior years. At least the third score must have been earned in the current calendar year.

For awards involving titling in two activities, which title was earned first does not matter but both must have been earned by the end of the current calendar year. Example: For the Likka award, the dog may have earned an obedience title in January and a Flyball title in November and still be eligible for this award. The purpose is to recognize dogs competing in multiple activities.

Only obedience scores in Novice, Open and Utility are eligible (does not include Rally or Non-Regular classes).

“While working towards” a title indicates that eligible scores do not include any earned after the 3rd qualifying leg. “Scores in any class” indicates that eligible scores include those earned after receiving 3rd qualifying score but prior to official notification of the title.
