This one day seminar is required for all interested in becoming an AKC Hunt Test Judge and for current judges to renew their credentials. It is also a great opportunity for handlers to review the rulebook, understand how dogs are evaluated and scored and learn what is expected of them as well as examples of possible types of test set-ups.
Complete your registration now to reserve your spot and also to ensure we have enough attendees to hold the seminar. AKC will check with us on 01-May to confirm that we can meet the 15 attendee standard. So, the deadline to register is 30-APRIL-2026. If the event is cancelled by the AKC your registration will be refunded in full. No-Shows and post-deadline cncellations are non-refuldable.
Your registration info will be shared with the AKC (attendees' names, judge numbers (if applicable), and contact information) so they can generate a detailed sign-in sheet before the seminar. Details:
