NOC – National Obedience Champion
Each year, one dog is named National Obedience Champion, by virtue of taking first place in the annual National Obedience Invitational tournament. Invitations to the tournament are extended to the top-scoring dogs in each breed, as reflected by the number of OTCH points each dog accumulates during the year.
