SPECIAL NOTICE

In accordance with AKC Regulations, entries in this tracking test will be accepted up until the official closing date, even though the advertised limit has been reached.

A drawing will be held at Ann Arbor Dog Training Club, 1575 E North Territorial Road, Whitemore Lake, MI, on Wednesday, April 16, at 7:00PM to determine which entries will participate in the test.

This drawing, conducted by the test secretary, shall be completely at random from among the entries received, except that preference shall be given to those entries which have not earned a TD title for the TD Test. All Tracking Dog (TD) Test entries must be accompanied by a certification, according to Chapter 3, Section 2 of the Tracking Regulations.

When the advertised limit has been drawn, all remaining entries shall be similarly drawn and assigned a position on the alternate list, subject to the same preferences set forth above.

The test secretary shall notify all entries of the result of the drawing. Alternatives have the option to accept or decline being placed on the alternate list. Those who opt to decline shall have their entry fees returned upon written notification of the test secretary of their intention to withdraw from the alternate list.

In the event an accepted entry cancels after the closing of entries, the test secretary shall contact alternates in the order of their placement on the alternate list. Upon such notification, alternates shall have the option to accept or decline the opportunity to participate in the test.

No entry fee will be refunded except that of an alternate who does not participate in the test. Exception: In the event that an accepted entry withdraws from the test and an alternate replaces that entry, refund will be made to the withdrawn entry.

In the event an accepted entry is absent on the day of the test, it shall be the responsibility of the test secretary to determine if alternates are present, and to determine, by their position on the alternate list, which of the alternates will participate.

EXHIBITOR PLEASE NOTE

Dogs must be on leash at all times. Remember to pick up after your dog; Tervs leave no traces!
