Hi Orrin & all, I haven't checked the rules lately, but I thought one always had an option of entering a titled dog in any test, not just a specialty test. I...

As for entering a dog who already has a title can someone please tell me what the rules are in regard to this? If the test is a sponsored by a breed club:...
Any titled dog can enter any AKC tracking test. Preference is given to non titled dogs first. If a test doesn¹t fill, certainly the titled dog and run, they...
... You are correct, however the titled dogs are only pulled for a draw AFTER the untitled dogs have been drawn. A titled TD dog does have a remote chance of...
I'm waiting impatiently for news the VST test held in Geneseo, NY today by the DOTCORNY club. I had a spot in the test and I gave it up due to some lameness...
... Sandy, I'm not picking on you I promise. I have a real pet peeve about exhibitors NOT reading the rules. Chapter one Section 13 is pretty clear in the...
Actually, AKC's rules are very specific about specialty clubs' tracking tests. First priority at the draw is given to untitled dogs of the specific breed....
My point Lisa, was the dogs all have the titles, and the Invitational is a tracking test, following tracking regulations. -Chris L ... The invitational does...
I got some news that I don't know about. It has been reported that a new CT, has been earned. Is it true?? A Bullmastiff!! So if anyone has details, please...
I kinda threw myself under the bus on that one. I had misread a premium online last week which prompted the question. My apologies, Sandy **************Get...
Hi Mary, I was a track layer at the test and unfortunately none of the dogs passed. I may be corrected on this but I do not think we had anyone even make it...
You always have the option of entering a titled tracking dog in a test, but the priority is to dogs without titles. At the TD level, the demand for tracks...
I just lurk here, trying to learn tips to help me as a beginner, but my friend Lisa Heffner earned her CT this weekend with her Bullmastiff Zoom. They were the...
... Let's not start getting into pet peeves on this one. I feel I know exactly where all this discussion of entering titled dogs is coming from and there are...
When did she get her VST title? http://members.aol.com/bevstracking ... From: bethmm To: Tracking_Dog@yahoogroups.com ; 'tracking D' Cc: Lisa Heffner Sent:...
Thank you Marlene. That's exactly the way I read it, and the reason I posted originally. I was pretty sure I had read the rules correctly and wanted to...
That was written to say that most areas of the country the different levels of tracking are always filled with long alternate lists. So entering a titled dog...
Hmmm... I don't think the invitational is a test... it is more of a demonstration or public education.... There is no title awarded or anything Patricia ... ...
... No, your point is incorrect. Your statement was the AKC appeared to be violating its own rules by having a tracking test that does not follow the...
She was entered in the trial at the Weim Nationals held yesterday in Dartmouth, Mass. There were 7 VST’s offered, and only 3 entries. Beth Mares Mickey's Boy...
In actuality, the Invitational does not follow the tracking regulations. Nowhere in the regs will you find a description of what the Invitational actually is,...
That's not right. There was 1 TD entry, 1 TDX and 4 VST. I wasn't able to go over to the VST since I had a 15 hour drive back to Ohio and work calling looking...
You all missed the original point by a mile. It is a lot easier to enter a titled dog in a breed specific test is if you have that breed with a title since the...
Terri's right. The Invitational is an exhibition, not a test. No titles are awarded, some rules are different and all exhibitors are presented gigantic ribbons...
Whew, consider me corrected! I should not have assumed that it's a test, even though I've heard it called such. -Chris L [Non-text portions of this message...
