The AFC is Amateur Field Champion. The MH is master hunter, the highest 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 is 12 years old and still competing in agility.

Dual Champion Columbine Heathrow Skylark, Master Hunter

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.
