Hello

Thanks

You talking retrievers?

AKC Field Trial Titles and Abbreviation:
NFC - National Field Champion (Pros and Amateurs, one a year)
NAFC - National Amateur Field Champion (Amateur Handlers Only, one a year)
FC - Field Champion (Must have a Win and 5 additional pts in Open Stakes, Pros and Amateurs)
AFC - Amateur Field Champion, (Must have a Win and 5 additional pts in Open/Amateur Stakes, Amateurs only)
QA2 - Qualified All Age Twice - dogs having placed 1st, 2nd or place in All Age Event twice)
QAA - Not a title but often listed on pedigrees. Same as above but only 1x.

AKC Hunt Test Titles:
MNH - Master National Retriever, having passed the Master National 3 times.
MH - Master Hunter, has passed 5-6 Master tests. An additional MH denoted by a number after signifies the number of MH passes the dog has achieved.
SH - Senior Hunter
JH - Junior Hunter

UKC Hunt Test Titles:
GRHRCH - Grand Hunting Retriever Champion, having pass the Grand 2 times
HRCH - Hunting Retriever Champion
HR - Hunting Retriever
SHR - Started Hunting Retriever

I'm losing stream but most of above is correct. There are also SRS titles but those are less seen as it's not as popular.

If they are AKC titles, you can use this link:
https://www.akc.org/sports/titles-and-abbreviations/akc-titles-sorted-alphabetically/

If they are UKC titles, I am sure they have a similar link.

I hope that helps.

To make it even more interesting the UKC now lists American Pointing Labrador Association titles. 

APLA titles:
CPR: Certified pointing retriever
APR: Advanced pointing retriever
MPR: Master pointing retriever
GMPR: Grand Master pointing retriever

After Grand Master there are levels up to 4X.  For example 2XGMPR, 3XGMPR, and 4XGMPR.  Currently 4X is as far as it goes, but there is talk of adding a national event this year.
