3 Eligible Breeds This Specialty Lure Coursing Trial is open only to purebred Whippets that are registered with AKC. Monorchid and cryptorchid hounds are ineligible to participate. INCOMPLETE, UNSIGNED, CONDITIONAL OR UNPAID ENTRIES WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED. ENTRIES WILL NOT BE ACKNOWLEDGED. FOR TEST ENTRIES, PLEASE INDICATE WHICN TEST YOU ARE ENTERING BY CHECKING EITHER JC or QC ON THE ENTRY FORM. A SEPARATE FORM MUST BE USED FOR EACH EVENT AND EACH DOG. Stakes Offered JUNIOR COURSER and QUALIFIED COURSER TESTS. These tests are open to hounds at least 12 months of age. The course is a minimum of 600 yards with a minimum of four (4) turns. Junior courser: a hound running alone shall receive one qualification from a judge, and a second qualification from a different judge at a separate event, stating that the hound completed the course with enthusiasm and without interruption. Qualified Courser: a Qualifying hound (not blanketed) running with another hound of the same breed - or another breed with a similar running style - (Testing Hound, blanketed) shall receive certification from a licensed judge. The hound must complete the course with enthusiasm and without interruption, sufficiently course the lure and not course 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 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. Upon successful completion of the Qualified Courser test, the judge completes a certificate and awards it to the handler. This certificate must be submitted to the host club with the hound s first entry in an Open Stake. 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. Open Stakes: Open to all hounds that have obtained an AKC Qualified Courser certificate. This requirement will be waived for hounds that have earned a Field Championship title from the American Sighthound Field Association (ASFA) or the Canadian Kennel Club (CKC). ASFA or CKC Field Champions must submit a copy of their title certificate to the host club when they enter their first AKC Open Stake. This copy must be included when the results of the trial are sent to the AKC. Championship points earned from the Open Stake will only count toward a Field Champion title. Hounds that have earned an AKC Field Championship title are not eligible to enter the Open Stake. Special Stakes: Open to all hounds that have earned their AKC Field Championship titles. Championship points earned from the Specials Stake will count toward Lure Courser Excellent titles.
