ZM is a czech BH like title there are a few things they do different but they say the Equivalent
ZVV1-3 is like Sch titles but a little more demanding at higher levals as theZVV3 is done with hand signals. The ZVV3 is only given to a few dogs a year and very hard to get.
KKL is a breed servey for Germany and Czech dogs get a Breed survey of letters and numbers a little Different because you need a key to read it.
ZPO titles are tracking titles and if memory serves me it is like a FH this i could be mistaken on

We just bought a ZVV3 IPO3, ZPS1 ZPO1 titled male . I would have to get the key to read you his breed servay report.

Hope that helps you and you can also go to EuroSport.com and they have info on the titles there for you and some videos of the dogs doing them.
