7/3     I'm researching purebred dogs. What does it mean when a dog's
        parents (sire/dam) have "Ch." in front of them? Like
        "Ch. Rosemary" or "Ch. Mercedes"? I'm guessing it's some
        certification, or a winner at the dog show? Does it mean they're
        genetically tested or examined for predisposition to diseases?
        \_ Ch = Switzerland. It stands for "Confoederatio Helvetica"
        \_ Ch == Champion?
