The AKC awards the Triple Champion (TC) prefix title to Dual Champions that are also either Obedience Trial Champions (OTCH), Tracking Champions (CT) or Agility Champions (MACH or PACH). For Belgian Malinois, with their heritage sport of herding, a Dual Championship requires championships in both Conformation (CH) and Herding (HC), and the derived DC prefix title replaces both of those. When a dog is awarded a Triple Championship, the TC prefix title replaces CH, HC, and OTCH/CT/MACH/PACH titles. If a dog has been awarded a higher level prefix championship title, then that prefix title is listed before the TC prefix; similarly, if a dog has been awarded a numbered prefix title for Obedience or Agility that prefix title will be listed after the TC prefix title.
To date the AKC has only awarded eight Triple Championships to Belgian Malinois. In recognition of our breed’s history, each of those dogs is listed below. The American Belgian Malinois Club salutes these dogs, their owners, and their breeders.
