Hi List I just found all the posts regarding the TC. Please let me clarify  a 
few things. In order to become an evaluator you basically have to apprentice  
with the Evaluators until the committee feels you are ready to conduct tests 
on  your own. This is a lengthy process for a few reasons #1 there are not a 
lot of  tests. We need local clubs to host them. We have been encouraging clubs 
to have  them and have asked the evaluators to contact area clubs. I feel 
this is  starting to work. A candidate needs more than 1 test a year to perfect 
their  skills. #2 We evaluate their progress after the tests they work and at 
the  National. This takes time. Some people don't wish to put the time and 
travel in  to learn and demonstrate their capabilities. We do want to see that 
the 
 evaluator candidate will keep the tests as a top priority, within reason. 
When a  candidate is ready The committee will decide to make them an Evaluator. 
The  committee currently is composed of Dalene McIntire, Gene Gray and myself. 
They  must demonstrate they can conduct all facets of a temperament test. 
Evaluators  are area specific. Right now all areas are covered except 
California. 
That is  what I have told people who have approached me. Evaluators typically 
have  experience in some training and performance venues, and demonstrate 
they can  interpret subtle behaviors exhibited in the test. Bob Penny, Dick 
Whalen and  Dalene McIntire decided I should succeed Bob. They were the currant 
temp  committee. My Time assisting Bob was cut short by his sudden death. So 
this 
has  been a time of learning. I am in the process of revamping the Futurity 
Observer  process and Have the help of a few board members I will bring this to 
the  January Board meeting. If anyone has  any questions I would encourage 
them  to contact me _TotalDogman@xxxxxxxx (mailto:TotalDogman@xxxxxxx)  I  have 
put my e-mail on all correspondences. In closing I will assure you that  there 
is no O'le Boys thing going on. Our Only goal is to promote good  temperament 
in our wonderful Breed. thanx Jim
