SATURDAY’S COURSE

SUNDAY’S COURSE

Field and Equipment Information: A battery-powered, continuous loop machine will

be used. The lure will consist of white plastic bags. The field is mowed grass and basically level. The entire course of 600 yds. will be run for the “big dog” class and one loop (300 yds) of the course will be run for the “small dog” and “flat faced dog” class. Please refer to “Eligibility and Rules” for details on class eligibility. NEW: AS OF JAN 1, 2015—At the handler’s discretion Veterans (over 7 years) may be allowed to run two-thirds of the normal distance. Small (under 12 inches) may run 200 yards. Large (over 12 inches) may run 400 yards.

TIPS FOR HANDLERS 1. Chickahominy Riverfront Park (CRP) is not securely fenced. It

is strongly recommended that prior to running your dog, you have good “recall” control over your dog, as the dogs will be off leash.

2. Handlers should wear comfortable, sturdy shoes (no sandals or flip flops, please!) and be physically able to hold and release their dogs, as well as catch them.

3. Handlers may carry toys or treats on their persons to assist with retrieving their dog at the completion of their run.

4. Dogs will be brought to the start line on leash and released

only upon a verbal signal (“Tally-Ho!”) from the Huntmaster. Dogs may be released by hand, folded leash or using a traditional lure coursing slip lead,

5. The Huntmaster will instruct the handler to “Retrieve your dog” upon completion of the run. The handler is expected to promptly secure the dog and leave the field with the dog on leash.

6. Handlers are advised to warm up their dogs prior to their run and walk them for about 10 minutes afterwards.

7. The Coursing Ability test is a physically demanding sport so please make sure your dog is in good shape. If you are not sure, make an appointment with a veterinarian to get an opinion.

8. Any person, upon reasonable complaint, may be asked to leave the grounds of the test by the Field Committee and may be disciplined by the AKC. Children must be under control of their parents or guardian(s) at all times

Neither Sighthound Organization of Tidewater (S.H.O.T.) its members, nor James City County will be responsible for any accidents at this trial

ALL DOGS RUN AT OWNERS SOLE RISK

NOTICE TO ALL EXHIBITORS All entries must be one year of age or older on the day of the test.

Each dog requires an individual entry form for each event in which it is entered.

Entries will not be accepted without fees, signatures or the “Agreement” found on the Official AKC Entry Form.

Bitches in season and lame dogs will be refused entry and, if presented at inspection, will be refunded entry fees.

Mixed breeds must be spayed or neutered to be eligible to run. AKC registered dogs with breed disqualifications may be entered.

Coursing is an athletic activity that can tax a dog’s physical strength. Dogs that are overweight and/or out of condition may be at greater risk for injury and exhaustion. The Inspection Committee has the authority to disallow a dog’s entry into a test, and in such instances, applicable entry fees will be refunded.

Battery powered, continuous loop lure machines will be used. The lure will consist of white plastic strips. Backup equipment will be available

Exhibitors should follow their veterinarian’s recommendation to assure their dogs are free of parasites, any communicable diseases and have appropriate vaccinations.

The Huntmaster is responsible for field safety and therefore he/she is in complete charge of all dogs and handlers on the field. In service to this responsibility, he/she has the authority to stop the lure in any potentially dangerous situation and signal the handler to retrieve a testing dog.

Any decisions made by the event’s officiating judge(s) regarding the performance of an entered dog shall be final. Full discretionary power is given to the judge(s) to withhold any and all qualifications for lack of merit. The Judge(s) is responsible for ensuring compliance with the AKC Regulations on the field.

No entry fees will be refunded if the event cannot be started or completed by reason of riots, civil disturbances, fire, extreme and/or dangerous weather conditions, an act of God, public emergency, act of a public enemy, strikes or any other cause beyond the control of the Club or its members and representatives.

Persons exhibiting conduct detrimental to AKC/PKCLC/any dog/other person(s) will be asked to leave the trial site.

The event-hosting club, its agents, members, representatives, volunteers, etc., assume no liability or responsibility for any loss, damage or injury sustained by exhibitors, handlers, or to any of their dogs or property and further assumes no responsibility for injury to children or spectators before, during, or after this event

EXPERIENCED HANDLERS Dogs can go directly to the Inspection Committee and a Run Order List will be posted.

WHAT MUST MY DOG DO TO PASS THE C.A.T.? The Coursing Ability Test

(C.A.T.) is a pass/fail test wherein all entrants always run singly. This is to say they run once, and they run alone. Because safety is of the utmost importance, the C.A.T. takes into consideration the individual dog pursuing qualification and therefore has two different course lengths to accommodate the type and size of the entrant. In either case, dogs will chase a lure made of plastic strips.

DOGS LESS THAN 12” TALL & “FLAT FACED” DOGS. Any entrant that is less

than 12” tall at the withers and/or brachycephalic will run a clearly marked 300-yard course that is basically rectangular in shape with turns no more acute than 90 degrees. For a 300-yard course, a dog must complete the test in less than 1 ½ minutes. Veterans may run 200 yards.

DOGS MORE THAN 12” TALL. Any entrant that is taller than 12” at the withers and

not brachycephalic (flat faced) shall run a clearly marked 600-yard course (or as close to 600 yards as possible) that is basically rectangular in shape with turns no more acute than 90 degrees. For a 600-yard course, a dog must complete the test in less than 2 minutes. Veterans may run 400 yards

In order to pass, the dog must complete the course with enthusiasm and

without interruption within the maximum amount of time for the course length. The judge keeps the official time and decides the merits of the dog’s

performance.

If there is a question which course a dog should run, the judge will decide.

CAN MY DOG EARN AN AKC TITLE FOR COURSING ABILITY? Three titles will

be awarded for dogs that pass the Coursing Ability Test the required number of times. These are suffix titles that will appear on a dog’s pedigree with a higher-level title superseding a lower level title.

three times under at least two different judges.

CHAPTER XV COURSING ABILITY TEST REGULATIONS January 2010

Section 1. Purpose. The purpose of the AKC Coursing Ability Test is to provide all dogs and their owners an enjoyable, healthy activity in which they can participate. Dogs run singularly and are required to complete their course with enthusiasm and without interruption within a maximum amount of time. This is a pass – fail event. Based on the sport of lure coursing, Coursing Ability Tests will serve as an introduction to the sport for all eligible dog owners. Section 2. All applicable administrative regulations governing Lure Coursing Tests shall apply to Coursing Ability Tests unless specifically addressed in this chapter. Section 3. Eligibility to Enter. Coursing Ability Tests are open to all dogs at least 12 months of age that are individually registered with the AKC, recorded in the Foundation Stock Service (FSS) program, individually registered with a foreign or domestic registry organization whose pedigrees are acceptable for AKC registration, dogs granted a Purebred Alternative Listing (PAL) number, dogs with AKC Limited or Conditional Registration, or dogs enrolled in the AKC Canine Partners program. Dogs with breed disqualifications are eligible to enter. Females in season may not enter. A dog may enter only once per event. (An event is defined by an event number.) Section 4. Clubs Eligible to Hold Coursing Ability Tests. Any club licensed to hold AKC Lure Coursing events is automatically licensed to hold a Coursing Ability Test. At some point in the future after an initial start-up period, any club licensed to hold companion events may apply to become licensed to hold Coursing Ability Tests. The start-up period will be decided by the Performance Events Department. Section 5. Inspection Committee. An inspection committee consisting of at least two persons who are members of the field committee shall inspect each entry for lameness, fitness to compete and females in season. Inspection shall take place prior to any form of wrapping being applied to the dog. In the opinion of the inspection committee, any entry found to be lame, unfit to compete or a female in season shall not be allowed to enter and entry fees shall be refunded. Section 6. Making Event Application. Licensed clubs may make application to the American Kennel Club to hold an event on a designated form downloadable from the AKC website at www.akc.org/pdfs/events/lure_coursing/Coursing_Ability_Application.pdf. Paper or e-mail applications will be accepted. No on-line event application process will be available. Approval and close out correspondence would all be done via e-mail. Events may be either stand-alone tests or may be held at the conclusion of a club’s Lure Coursing event. In either case the Coursing Ability Test must be applied for as a separate event. If a club is concerned that entries may be more than can be accommodated, the club may state a numeric limit in the premium. The application fee shown on the form must accompany the application. A club may hold up to eight Coursing Ability Tests per calendar year. A club may hold no more than two Coursing Ability Tests on the same day. If a Coursing Ability Test is held at the conclusion of a Lure Coursing event, the club may use the same premium however both event numbers must appear on the entry form. Section 7. Eligibility to Judge. All AKC approved Lure Coursing event judges are approved to judge a Coursing Ability Test. Section 8. Course Design. The course shall be basically rectangular in shape with turns no more acute than 90 degrees. The total length of the course shall be no less than 600 yards and should be as close to 600 yards as is possible. The lure will consist of plastic strips. Depending of the size and type of dog, the dog will run either the full course or a 300-yard course. The 300-yard distance shall be clearly marked. Safety is of utmost importance. Many of the dogs running the Coursing Ability Test will not posses the agility of a sight hound and this must be a consideration in the design of a course. Section 9. Distance and Maximum Time. Dogs run singularly. 300-Yard Course. This distance is for dogs shorter than 12 inches at the withers and / or brachycephalic (“flat-faced”) dogs. A dog must complete this course in less than 1 ó minutes. 600-Yard Course. This distance is used for all dogs that do not run the 300-yard course. A dog must complete this course in less than 2 minutes. If there is a question which course a dog should run, the judge will decide. Section 10. Passing Performance. The Coursing Ability Test is a pass – fail event. In order to pass, the dog must complete the course with enthusiasm and without interruption within the maximum amount of time for the course length. The judge keeps the official time and decides the merits of the dog’s performance.

There will be permanent restroom facilities located near the field

Bring your own water and shade. No littering. Pick up after your dogs. There will be a $5.00 fine for NOT cleaning up after your hounds. There will be a $5.00 fine for any dogs off lead on the trial grounds ~ including after the trial.

All rights to televise, videotape, advertise, photograph, promote or otherwise exploit this event are vested in the club, or in persons to whom assignments of such rights have been made in writing by the club. All persons and animals attending these shows grant the club the right to use their likeness and voice in any matter without further consent.

A penalty of $5.00 will be assessed for any and each loose dog(s) not competing in the course in progress.

A return check fee of $15.00 will be assessed for any check(s) returned for insufficient funds.

FOR FIRST TIME COURSERS AND HANDLERS WHAT ARE PRE-ENTRIES? ~ Entries made before the closing date. However even if your entry is mailed in time yet due to the failure of the postal service, it is not received in time for the Test Secretary to have it at the Event, then you will have to fill out day of entry forms on the day of the trial. Always have your dog's registration materials with you when you go to a test.

SLIP LEADS ~ There is a type of collar for coursing called a slip lead, which is worn only to control the dog prior to "release". The collar drops away as the dog is released to chase the lure and they run without anything around their necks that could be dangerous.

***NO CHOKE COLLARS OF ANY KIND WILL BE WORN WHILE TESTING***

*ENTRIES MAY WARE A FLAT COLLAR *

*Hanging collar tags must be secured to the collar with

tape or in some other manner*

INSPECTION~ dogs will be inspected by a designated Inspection Committee

consisting of at least two persons who are members of the Field Committee and who shall inspect each entered dog for lameness, fitness to compete and female estrus (in season). Inspection shall take place prior to any form of wrapping being applied to the dog. In the opinion of the Inspection Committee, any entry found to be lame, unfit to compete or in season shall not be allowed to enter and the applicable entry fees shall be refunded. ROLL CALL ~ is the time, prior to the commencement of coursing, by which you are

supposed to have your dog ready for inspection by the Inspection Committee. At roll call the dog is examined for lameness, and breed disqualifications (where applicable). Bitches are examined to see if they show any evidence of being in season. After roll call the list of passed hounds is taken to the Field Test Secretary so that the run order can be prepared. RUN ORDER LIST ~ this is a posted list of the running order for the dogs

participating in the event. ~ Always check the record sheet after the Roll Call to confirm your dog’s Run Order.

ARE YOU INTERESTING IN HELPING? You can make a difference, even if you can help out for an hour or so….Easy ways to volunteer at a lure coursing field trial/test. You do not even have to be a SHOT member. Field Setup -come early (one hour before roll call) and start by carrying equipment -learn as you go how to place pulleys and tie downs. Field Clerk -volunteer to help the Field Secretary for even one or two breeds -the benefit is you will get a whole new perspective on the course and may learn by listening to the judges Lure Operator -hang around and talk to the lure operator between courses -if you are interested, try running the lure around before the trial, at lunch or after the trial at practice Practice -give the volunteers who have been working all day a break -take the practice list, call out the names and collect the money Fundraiser -It’s great when people donate things, but even better if you can organize and execute a fundraiser whether it be a 50/50 draw, silent auction, raffle, etc. It doesn’t have to be complicated or too time consuming.

Thank you for Volunteering

Everyone will appreciate your efforts, and the trial will run more smoothly

If you have experience and are willing to work a job or if you wish to apprentice to learn a job, please fill out the form below and return it with your entry to the Field Trial Secretary.
