Alright so it can be done.
How common is that? do you know TC. I dual register my field hounds when possible anyhow but wondered if the same applies for another discipline.

A visit to the AKC web site and taking a look at the Special Registry section should answer most questions. A quick e-mail to them will also get you the info you need. There was or probably still is a list of registries that AKC will accept pedigrees from for purposes of registering. The AKC does require that dogs from other registeries get thier AKC papers within 30 days of showing or trialing in an AKC event. Again see Special registery service for needed paper work. The CKC (Canadian Kennel Club) is an acceptable registry. (Do not confuse The Contennetial Kennel Club which is also called CKC with the Canadian. The Contennetial is not acceptable to anyone, that I know of.)
I have never showed or field trialed in Canada so do not know what the CKC requirements are for AKC registered hounds traveling north for competition. (Not sure non-residents of Canada can register a dog with CKC, dogs competeing in Canada I believe are given a permit to compete if CKC accepts the pedigrees etc. Correct me if I am wrong. My wife showed in Canada a few times years ago and that was the practice then. You did not register the dog with CKC but were issued a permit to show.)

None of the registries recognize any of the others Champ titles, field, show or anything else. When you see such things as IFC (International Field Champ) recognize that in North America it usually indicates a hound that has an AKC and CKC Field Ch title. It is not an official title and will never show up on an official pedigree. The IFC usually shows up in articles or advertising copy. (A quick note on Field Titles. A CKC title is FTC, an AKC title is FC. So if you see FTC you know it is a CKC field title. That is the normal use and the one you will see in most pedigrees posted or put toether by a ped service or individuals.)

You used to see from time to time the term in ads of International Show Ch. Usually it indicated a dog that had earned titles in 3 countries. In the eastern part of US it was normally AKC, CKC, and Bermuda. In the west it was more likely to be AKC, Canada and Mex. Today the practice of advertising dogs as International Show Champs seems to be less common and most would spell out the individual titles such as Am/Can/UK Ch, or mabe Am/Can/Eng Ch etc. The second form is the one I use in my ped database but recognize it is not official or will you ever see it on a pedigree from any registry.

Thanks for that information, I will look up both sites. I have 2 of my field trial hounds dual registered and FC shows up on the AKC reg but not on the CKC reg, that is true.
For field trials if trialing in Canada, CKC/AKC dual so that you get your acquired points within both countries.
I was just wondering if the same did apply for show. I will check further, I really appreciate your response.
