The criteria for the 1st Tracking Qualification:

The dog will follow a trail for approximately 400 metres, and the exhibitor shall nominate the

Tracklayer.  The Track will have two changes of direction of approximately between 30 to 90 degrees, the

first change of direction to be not less than 100 metres after the start.

One article will be placed on the Track, as nominated by the Judge; this article does not have

to be indicated to gain a Pass.

The minimum time for the commencement of the track must be 20 minutes and the maximum

40 minutes, from the time the Track is laid.

The Tracklayer or final article must be found at the end of the Track for the dog to obtain a

Pass.

The next Tracking Test will be 800m long with a longer wait time from when the track is laid.
