Versatility Greater Swiss (VGS)
The Versatility Greater Swiss title is designed to honor the special individuals of the Greater Swiss Mountain Dog breed that have proven their merit in multiple arenas; conformation, obedience, and working/performance.

The Versatility Greater Swiss (VGS) title is awarded to dogs whose achievements have been recognized with at least four (4) conformation, obedience, working and performance event certifications. Dogs receiving the VGS title must have completed at least an AKC conformation Championship (CH), and AKC Companion Dog (CD) title, and two (2) other titles from two (2) of the other performance category.
