*Herding – only one title is credited per type of stock, and only on one course. For example, an HS on ducks or sheep is credited as an HS, and the course on which it is earned does not matter. So a dog could earn HS for sheep and ducks and HI for cattle.

**Agility – points cannot be earned for both regular and preferred classes at the same level. The regular class takes precedence over the preferred class. Dogs must earn two of the three titles (standard, jumpers, FAST) at each level to receive credit for the points for that level.

Additional point calculation clarification - you count at the highest level of title obtained. So a dog with CH, RE, CDX, NA, NAJ and HI would get points as follows: 6, 3, 6, 4, 8. You don't add lower titles, ie, 2 for the RA and 3 for the RE.Conformation points only count towards VC and VCX titles.
