Czech Titles - Page 1

I've been looking at Eska's pedigree, and find there's a whole confusing mess of titles in her ancestry, mostly belonging to the Pohranicni straze dogs.

Here's a few of them:

ZM

ZW 2 and 3

SPO

VT  VD -  (velmi dobry - this is the most common title for Czech dogs - what does it mean?)

OV

SW2

ZPO

EV.C./1998 ( I think this must be some sort of competition?)

7x UM CSSR (obviously a competition the dog took part in.)

OP1

ZPS  also ZZP1

SP-PS

H-1

And on a German dog: HPR1

 

Then, there's this dog, with a whole alphabet beside his name!!
