Explanation of terms? BIS BISS?

[YukonsMom]

I admit I don't know anything about showing/obedience dogs and I wouldn't ask for a full explanation because I'm sure it's involved. I was wondering though if someone could explain what BIS BISS means to me. Yukon's father was (or is) a champion and I was wondering what that denoted. I tried googling and it just brought up specific dogs.

Thank you!

I'm no conformation-type but I'm pretty sure thats what it means.

kate got it right, and both of those are BIG accomplishments, particularly the BISS.

Here's a couple sites with information
