Are Catalogs an acceptable method of reporting Hunt Test results to the AKC?
Are Catalogs an acceptable method of reporting Hunt Test results to the AKC?
Updated over a week ago

Catalogs are permitted. PerfDog has been providing catalogs to clubs for over 3 years and have not had any issues with the AKC. For your records, you’ll want to either keep your event's scorecards or transfer the scores from the cards to the scoresheet that AKC provides in the mailed packet. PerfDog will have the ability to save scores in the future, but right now we only have a box to check next to passing dogs on the Results section of your event.

Here is Section 17 of the "Regulations for AKC® Hunting Tests for Pointing Breeds”:

Section 17. Catalogs. An Official Catalog may be provided for a licensed or member club Hunting Test. The Official Catalog, if prepared, must be printed, or typed and shall conform to the official size of not less than 5 1 ⁄2" x 8 1 ⁄2", but not to exceed 8 1 ⁄2" x 11”.

The Official Catalog shall list all dogs entered in each Test ( Junior, Senior and Master) in the order in which the dogs were drawn with all identifying information called for on the entry form (at least, but not limited to full name of dog, registration number, breed, date of birth and name of owner and handler, if different from owner).

The Official Catalog shall state the name of the Hunting Test giving club, the date and location of the event and shall state whether the Hunting Test is “Licensed by the American Kennel Club’’ or held by an “AKC Member Club.’’

The following certifications must appear in the Official Catalog following the last dog listed in each test:

JUDGES CERTIFICATION

I certify that ____________ dogs received Qualifying scores in this Hunting Test and that the above information identifying these dogs was entered prior to my signing this page.

Judge’s Signature Judge’s Signature

HUNTING TEST SECRETARY’S CERTIFICATION

I certify that the Judges have verified the above information and signed this page. Number of dogs entered______________. Total Starters____________. Total number of Qualifying scores_________________.

Date Signature of Hunting Test Secretary

Following completion of judging in each Test, the Hunting Test Secretary shall mark the Official Catalog with the word “Qualifying” next to the names of all dogs that received Qualifying scores. The Judges shall then certify the accuracy of the marked awards, and both the Hunting Test Secretary and the Judges shall complete their appropriate certifications.

If a club chooses not to prepare an Official Catalog (conforming to the official size of not less than 5 1 ⁄2" x 8 1 ⁄2" but not to exceed 81 ⁄2" x 11"), it must utilize the standard AKC Official Judges book for Hunting Tests which will be automatically supplied to the Hunting Test Secretary following approval of premium list copy. When a club chooses this option, it may prepare a catalog, but the catalog need not conform to the size and content requirements stated above.

Only official AKC titles may appear in catalogs or running orders. For a complete list of AKC titles and abbreviations, please see: www.akc.org/events/titles.cfm.
