Hi Ileana, I've been doing this test since it came over from Germany, this being the mid 70's, first with the Schutzhund club I belonged to, then with the first test held in Seattle Wash, with Jimmy Norris. All these years I have expressed a interest in becoming a tester, yet to happen! I have finished dogs, titled dogs to UDT, in Schutzhund, in herding, TDI and am a CGC tester. I could have had my lic. in Canada to judge both conformation and obedience, and had I got off my butt would have been lic to judge herding in AKC venues. YET I don't "qualify" to be a tester for our temp test!
