The first title is the Companion Racer (CR). It requires 15 race meet points (I have yet to figure out a better name for them), the kind that are used to figure a dogs placement in the meet and for its grade.

The next title, and dogs which get it then drop the CR title, is the Companion Racer Excellent (CRX). This requires 60 race points. For each additional 60 pts another CRX is earned, hence CRX VII that 3 dogs have, kind of like getting an LCM II.

For both of these points from the NPR can be used, though getting credit for them requires some work on the owners part. Contact me or your regional if you need this info.

The next Title is the Whippet Race Champion (WRCh). This requires 15 Championship points. This title has identical requirements to the ORC, ARM and RCh. WRCh points are earned by the top dogs, who do not already have their WRCh title, at the meet. The number of points is determined by the number of dogs that run in the first Heat of the meet. When a dog earns its WRCh it drops the CR or CRX titles. It is possible to earn a WRCh without ever earning enough race points to earn a CRX.

The Whippet Race Champion Excellent (WRChX) is the hardest to get Award. The requirements are 50 National Points for Dogs and 30 for Bitches. National points are only earned by the top2-4 dogs in the meet, depending on the entry. These requirements are the same as the SORC and SRCh, the NPR program had no comparable title. Unlike the other titles the WRChX can be earned multiple times, like the LCM, hence, Lyth Vitorio's WRChX IV. When the WRChX is earned the WRCh is dropped.
