Just as matter of interest, can anyone help with KC jargon?

We have just received Bella's registration and after her name it says AF3

And on the five generation pedigree, some of her relatives have SH CH and FT CH before their names. I'm guessing CH might mean champion, but was does the rest mean?

Bella comes from mixed show-type/Working Cocker lines if she has Sh Ch and FT Ch in her pedigree. AF3 refers to the edition of the KC Breed Record Supplement in which you will find her litter registered - useful info if you wanted to do any in depth research into her pedigree.
