I have seen Arnold listed in some pedigrees with a JH title, but others (perhaps the majority) without, on the websites of kennels that should know enough to post correct pedigrees either way.
Did he have a JH? Can anyone here shed some light on this anomaly?
AKC does not have a JH recorded. The following is from the Points/Summary of Title Progression:
CH Dickendall Arnold - SF639713
Conformation - Awards Processed Through 04-NOV-2009
CH
Number of Points 16
Number Major Wins 4
Number Major Judges 4
Total Number Judges 4
Hunting Test - Awards Processed Through 13-NOV-2009
JH
Number Qualifying Scores 2
I don't know why some breeders think he has it then, maybe they read the report wrong. It's not like he needs anything added to his resume to make him look more important!
Who cares ? Ruffy, Arnold and Drifter were 3 great dogs that passed on so much to this breed. Many of the offsprings have working titles. They produced so much more than just a title. Love those boys.
If correct pedigree is referring to amount of BISS., AM CH. is more than sufficient and acceptable. If refering to researching a JH, just check the website or contact the owner.
Not that it matters, but I have 2 certified pedigrees on my girls from AKC. Arnold does not have a JH, Ruffy has a SH after their names. They were both great dogs. If you ever want a correct pedigree, you can order one from the AKC store on their website.
