I cannot help you. Just wanted to say that I have trouble deciphering the acronyms and short versions used here at the best of times!

In order

Schutzhund 3 qualified
IPO I forget what this stands for but it is essentially the same as Schutzhund.
AD - Ausdauerprufung, endurance test, dog has to trot 13 miles next to a bike.
No idea about the others

HD is hips and ED is elbows

Is this a done thing in the US? To put a good citizen pass after a kennel name? Do people do that here?

An AD is not a "Title" either so should not really be used after a dog's name, it is something used for breeding purposes.

I would not consider a dog that had Bronze/Silver/Gold KCGCT as "titled" myself.

TBF it depends on the context.

If a dog was being advertised at stud then I would put everything I could down to demonstrate it was fit for function, healthy and of good temperament etc.

But for competition purposes I would not bother.

When I put ads in the breed year book I always put down all my dog's accomplishments, irrespective of whether they are "titles" or not.
