Turick Triple Champions
The AKC awards the TC, or Triple Champion, prefix title to those Malinois with championships in conformation, herding, and either obedience, tracking, or agility. The TC is a derived prefix title replaces the conformation championship CH, the herding championship HC, and the OTCH, CT, MACH, or PACH prefix titles in obedience, tracking, or agility.
Only 8 TC titles have been awarded to Malinois, and 6 of those have gone to members of the Turick family. Devan was the first Malinois awarded a TC; Devan was sired by Pasha, a Turick-bred stud dog who was a Tari x Beans son (Tari and Beans were the two Turick foundation dogs). Three TC dogs (Cash, Jack, and Ace) were from the same Twister x Devan litter (Twister was a litter brother to Pasha). One TC dog (Torrent) was sired by Dare, an imported Turick stud dog, and one (Kaden) is a great-great-grandaughter of Devan (and Twister) and a great-granddaughter of Jack.
