FC??

Post by Quin »

Just been looking at pedigrees and came across FC.
What's it mean?? Field Champion?? Used to seeing FTCH not FC.

Yes but is this title respectable against FCTH or at least a certificate of merit as I believe it is called ?

What pedigrees are you looking at? - if they're N. American, FC is what SP said, and AFC is "Amateur Field Champion (in Canada they're CFC and CAFC, respectively). I like the sound (and looks) of FTCH, personally.

Edit to say I see your pedigree chart now - raises another question: If a UK-bred and KC registered springer becomes FC after it's exported to the US, as has been known to happen, does the KC on the dog's pedigree list the US appellation? That's what appears to have happened on your example.

No particular dog, just kept going back through the dogs pedigree till I saw FC so I have no info on the dog as to if it was registered in the UK or US, sorry.

I wouldn't have expected the Lochindorb database to list anything other than UK qualifications but Geiros Bluebell was not a UK FTCH.

In that case maybe it just means "F#%£*ng Cocker"?

Cass, you out of hibernation now? - I see you've reemerged on the Hunt Ontario forum to let us know you're thinking of campaigning a dog to become the first FTCH toller. Or was that the first FTCH Lagotta Romagnolo? ;)
