Note: Italian Greyhounds and Foundation Stock Service (FSS) breeds are not eligible to compete for Best in Field. Eligible dogs must be either individually registered with AKC, recorded with FSS, individually registered with a foreign registry organization whose pedigrees are acceptable for AKC registration, or that have been granted a Purebred Alternative Listing (PAL/ILP). Hounds may not be entered as “registration pending” or “PAL/ILP pending” whose pedigrees are acceptable for AKC registration. A dog with an AKC Limited Registration shall be eligible to be entered in Lure Coursing tests and trials, as are spayed and neutered hounds. Monorchid and cryptorchid hounds are ineligible to participate. FSS breeds may earn suffix titles only.
TESTS OFFERED:
· JUNIOR COURSER TEST: Open to all eligible Afghan Hounds, Azawakhs, Basenjis, Borzoi, Cirneco Dell’Etna, Greyhounds, Ibizan Hounds, Irish Wolfhounds, Italian Greyhounds, Norbottenspets, Pharaoh Hounds, Portuguese Podengos (Medio and Grande), Rhodesian Ridgebacks, Salukis, Scottish Deerhounds, Sloughis, Thai Ridgebacks, and Whippets. A hound running alone shall receive a certification from a Judge on one date and a second certification from a different judge at a later date, stating that the hound completed a 600 yard course with a minimum of (4) turns. The hound must complete the course with enthusiasm and without interruption.
· QUALIFIED COURSER TEST: A hound at least 12 months of age (Qualifying Hound) running with another hound of the same breed – or another breed with a similar running style – (Testing Hound) shall receive certification from a licensed judge. The hound must complete the course with enthusiasm and without interruption, sufficiently course the lure and not the Testing Hound. The judge will certify that the Qualifying Hound ran cleanly and did
not appear to present a hazard to the Testing Hound at any point in the qualifying course. This certification is required to enter a hound in an Open Stake. The handler presenting the Qualifying Hound shall be responsible for providing the Testing Hound for the qualifying course. It is strongly recommended that every Qualifying Hound have been run previously alone and that to the handler’s satisfaction runs cleanly and keenly. It is additionally recommended that every Qualifying Hound practices with other hounds prior to being presented for a qualifying courser test. It is to be understood by all that training prior to running a hound with other hounds in competition is essential to ensure that the hound is prepared to run safely with other hounds.
