FTW= Field Trial Winner
This is an abbreviation which has originally been used in the UK to indicate that a dog has already won an open field trial.
It has rather an informative value – an easy way to indicate that a dog already won a trial (or some cases having won even 2 or more trials, but not having the very good from the show yet to get the confirmation from the kennel club or the FCI for the champion title. )

FTW is first in an open stake. FTW is first in a novice stake, FTAW is the dog finishing a novice (or open) and not being quite good enough to win so getting a Certificate of merit. FTW means a real winner, i.e. a first place, With FTAW being any other place. You don't get anything pedigree-wise for novice stakes.
