competitive field title a dog can earn. UDX is a very difficult
obedience title. The rest of the titles are for agility. A dog has
to pass three times at each level to earn each title. Ranger

In
the AKC they have two kinds of hunting competition, field trials
which are mostly with horses because the dogs are expected to run
much faster and farther in their hunting and hunting tests which
are on foot and more like actual hunting. The field trials compete
one dog against the others and in hunting tests the dogs is scored
against a standard of excellence but not against the other dogs.
