Well then- if the tracking portion would make a working dog sport program an
impossibility, there could always be the option of just NOT having the tracking
portion at all similar to the UKC program: obedience & protection only. I know
the tracking wasn't included for reasons including time per dog, available
space, et cetera... The same voiced concerns here.... Yet was still able to
offer a program... One that drew many participants only at "the big show"
(Premier) who otherwise never did working dog sports any other time of the
year. Entries filled every year when there was a working dog sport trial at the
big show.
