OK, so Sophie asked the other day if I'd go through Kodi's titles and tell what they mean. Here goes!
BN - AKC's first obedience title, "Beginner Novice" 3 "Q's" (qualifying scores of 170 or better) in three different trials under at least two different judges.
PCD - AKC "Preferred Novice" - similar to regular Novice except that the dog does a stay in the middle of the ring, alone, while the handler walks around the ring rather than group stays. (3 Q's of 170 or better) This is now a whole titling track... meaning that rather than individual titles, you can go all the way up to a "Preferred OTCH" if you choose. The biggest differences between the Preferred track and the Regular track are lower jump heights (if you choose) and no group stays.
NA - AKC Novice Agility (that's the one with all the different contact obstacles) (3 Q's)
NAJ - AKC Novice Agility Jumpers (just jumps and weave poles, no contact obstacles) (3 Q's)
RE - AKC Rally Excellent (You must complete Rally Novice (on leash) then Rally Advanced (off leash) before competing in Rally Excellent. Each level requires 3 Q's of 70 or better out of 100) There is one more title after that, RAE, which requires 10 "QQ's" (double Q's) in both Advanced and Excellent in the same trial) We got half way through and didn't finish because it was kind of boring. WCRL is more fun and more challenging. We may go back and finish it some day, but we have bigger fish to fry right now.
CDX-CCH - CDSP- (Companion Dog Sports Program) Open Champion (Must first complete Novice title, then Open title. After that, you can continue to compete in Open indefinitely for championship points. It takes 10 Q's of 185 or higher for a championship. Kodi has 6 legs toward his CDX-CCH2. He's close to being ready for Utility, but not quite, so we are keeping our hand in at Open.
RL1X3 (plus AoE) WCRL- (World Cynosport Rally) Level 1 Champion times 3, plus Award of Excellence. Level 1 is SIMILAR to Rally Novice in AKC, but judged on a total score of 210 rather than 100 because the courses are longer, and there is a 10 point bonus exercise. A Q is a score of 170, and as in all sports, you need 3 Q's for a level title. If ALL your level title scores are above 195, you receive an "Award of Excellence". Kodi has done that at all levels. The RL1"X(number)" is the level championship, and requires 10 Q's at that level. So Kodi has had at least 30 Q's for this title.
RL2X3 (plus AoE) Level 2 is APPROXIMATELY like AKC Rally Excellent all work is done off leash. The rules for how Q's are awarded is the same as level 1... obviously, you need your level 1 title to compete in level 2.
RL3X2 (plus AoE) Level 3 is harder than anything AKC has to offer. Really fun and really challenging! Same rules.
ARCH - WCRL 5 QQ's of 195 or higher from level 1 and 2
ARCHX - WCRL 5 QQ's of 195 or higher from level 2 and 3
ARCHEX - WCRL 10 QQ's of 195 or higher from level 2 and 3
ARCHMX - 10 QQQ's from level 1,2&3 with scores of 195 or higher. Kodi did this title with NO NQ's, and more than half of his scores were 210's (perfect scores) He is the only Havanese in the country to hold this title. This one is considered a "real" championship title, and it is usually placed in front of the dog's name. Except in "AKC world", where nothing but AKC title count.
