- Only the highest achievement in each venue applies.
- Points for titles in different venues at the same level can be added together.
- Qualification for a versatility title requires a specific point value earned from a certain number of different venues/events. At all versatility levels, the highest pointed title must be from a working event (i.e. not conformation). A lower-valued achievement may be counted in lieu of a higher-valued achievement in order to meet this requirement.
Examples:
A dog with NA and NAJ gets 3 points
A dog with NA and OAJ gets 5 points
A dog with CD and NA gets 6 points
A dog with OTCh and HC gets 18 points
A dog with HTCh and WTCH gets 10 points.
