	How do I earn a title? To earn titles, dogs must meet a cumulative number of points in a specific level of competition. For example, the first Trailing and Locating title requires 100 points to earn. Each run begins with a score of 25 with a minimum number of 20 points needed to qualify with deductions outlined in the rule book. There is a point bonus for winning Best of Breed or High in Trial. It typically takes an average of 4 runs, but no fewer than three runs to earn a title.
