What is the maximum possible score for bite work in USPCA?

• A. 238
• B. 120
• C. 698.16
• D. 340

Answer: (D)

Bite work has a fixed upper limit in the USPCA scoring system. The judges award points across several required phases—attack on the decoy, grip quality, hold and release on command, and the dog’s control under distraction. If everything is performed to the highest standard in each area, those points add up to the official maximum. That top total is 340 points, which is why this is the best answer. Other numbers don’t represent the ceiling of the scoring rubric, and lower scores simply reflect not reaching flawless performance across all components.
