3 Equipment: We will use battery powered electric motors with a continuous loop. Lure will be white and/or black trash bags. Field: The field is open pasture, hilly, totally fenced. TESTS OFFERED Junior Courser: Open to all eligible sighthounds at least 12 months of age. The hound runs alone and shall receive a pass or fail qualification from the judge stating that the hound completed the course with enthusiasm and without interruption and that the hound completed a (minimum) 600-yard course with a minimum of 4 turns. Qualified Courser: 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 qualifying hound must complete the course with enthusiasm and without interruption, sufficiently course the lure and not course the Testing Hound. The testing hound must run a sufficient length of the course to allow evaluation of the qualifying hound. If two non-qualified hounds are run together, both dogs can be certified by the judge. It must be understood that if one dog fails to complete the course, the other dog may not qualify. 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 course. This certificate 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. An ASFA Certification may be submitted in lieu of the AKC QC certificate. The certificate must be included when the results of the trial are sent to the AKC. 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. TRIAL STAKES OFFERED Open: Open to all hounds that have obtained an AKC QC certificate or an ASFA Certification (certification must be submitted with your entries for first time entry).
