Titles and Certificates
Welcome to the title system offered by IFSS-dA! Here you will find sporting title suffixes that you may apply to your dogs' registered name once earned. For our standard sledding titles, we will be offering the titles for the Siberian Husky Clubs of both America and Canada, but available to all breeds. Most others in this section will be synced with approval with the title system of the Pedigree-Club in an effort to keep some titles streamlined for ease of play across groups. Some will be created for this group.
We honor all of the relevant titles earned through other groups here. These are simply the ones we offer if you are not a part of a group that has other options, or otherwise choose to earn them through our system.
➣In order to earn a Standard Title, all that is required is a full body image of your dog participating in the chosen sport. Single color/simple outline backgrounds are permitted for these.
➣In order to earn an Specialty Title, a full body with a background consisting of at least 3 elements is required. Each title will also have special criteria that much be met. Specialty titles must be drawn by the owner of the dog; they may not be earned through commission, gift, or art trade.
