Unlike NADAC, USDAA issues titles in only one category (until Master's level). The other categories (Jumpers, Snookers, Gamblers, etc) are not titled.

Herding

Open

The Open level is considered the "Pro" level of sheep herding. We no longer expect to place in competitions (for that matter, it'll be impressive if we simply complete the course).

A dog's level of competition and/or title are more-or-less determined by the handler. When the handler feels the dog is ready for the next higher level, they begin competing at that next level. If the dog is ready, they do well. If the dog isn't, they get their butt kicked.

The exceptions to this rule are American Herding Breeds Association (AHBA), American Kennel Club (AKC), and Australian Shepherd Club of America (ASCA). We haven't competed in AHBA and we won't compete in AKC. It follows that we have no titles with either of these organizations. We have competed in ASCA trials but don't really actively compete (it's a different style of herding).
