What is the ACC "Working Dog Certification Program"?
The primary objective in the
establishment of this program is to encourage the development and use of
those natural working and retrieving abilities for which the Chesapeake
Bay Retriever was originally bred. Additionally, it is hoped that the
program will provide another available means to help determine future
breeding stock.
This description should be
read and followed in conjunction with the “Guidelines to the Judges and
Handlers” and the “Suggestions for Line Procedures”.
Dogs must be at least six
months of age and American Kennel Club (AKC), Canadian Kennel Club (CKC)
registered or holding a foreign registry acceptable in the country
holding the stake. An AKC ILP or PAL number is an acceptable
registration to be able to compete in this program.

you would then receive your passing certificate from the ACC WD Program

the WDXQ rules for complete info.
Dogs wishing to
run Non-Contention: If your dog has previously earned
a WD/X/Q Certificate, you may run only at the end of the running order as
non-contention and providing there is enough time for extra dogs to run. These
Non-Contention entries will be approved at the entry deadline date according
to total number of dogs entered in the one-day competition. You would be
notified shortly after the entry deadline if your entry is accepted. See the WDXQ rules for complete info. |
