Which beaucerons in USA are IGP, PSA, protection, etc titled?

I see some beauceron breeders advertising protection dog prospects but unsure which dogs within the USA carry these titles?

When people are competitive in the sport GSD & Malinois breeders will almost always have the male titled to IGP3, PSA3, etc and the female (bare minimum) BH-VT, PDC, etc.

Almost every beauceron pairing I'm seeing with people claiming they may be bitework/protection prospects I'm not seeing this level of titling. Coming from GSDs & malinois it's a bit shocking to see people getting dogs with hopes of competing in a sport from dogs that don't even have titles on them?

Royale has Xerxes IGP3. Have any of his progeny been titled? Not finding anything online easily. (I've looked him up on working-dog.com but don't see all his titles listed and only one litter recorded from a while back, not finding their titles either.)

And I think ARC beaucerons is the other USA trainer that has titled dogs? Looking at her website a retired dog Mox has a high tracking title in IGP3 and another retired stud Luke has some partial titles.

Edit- I found Xerxes scores for only IGP1 (2021: 97, 91, 75) & IGP2 (2022: 90, 74, 84). I'm not sure why the IGP3 score is not posted. Mox is posted on WD at IGP1 (2019: 92, 92, 91), IGP2- 0 (insufficient)- and I don't see another repeat IGP2 score to share, IGP3 (2020: 96, 71, 90). *70 or above is a passing score..

Am I missing something here? Are there more males titled to the highest level in protection in the USA and females titled as well? For other breeds it's uncommon to see any litter sold as a protection prospect out of parents that haven't proven their ability and I'm confused why it's happening w/ this breed.
