As was the case in previous years, some reported VGP scores, and for some dogs the Prize category, had to be corrected.

Remember:It is still a requirement that a copy of the dog’s scored live duck search performance showing location and date of test be attached when this score is transferred over to another test.

Clubs which organize tests with overnight (ÜF) and day track (TF) must submit with their reports separate Formblatt 2 and 8 for each dog!
