Online Hunt Test Registration System - Thursday, April 10, 2008


MEMBERS PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU STILL NEED TO MAIL YOUR ENTRIES TO THE HUNT TEST SECRETARIES!!!

On line entry of dogs by members is not yet available in phase one of the project. This phase is for the hunt test record keeping only.

Announcing APLA’s custom built Hunt Test Registration System (HTRS)! This week, we will be rolling out Phase One to Spring 2008 Hunt Test Secretaries. HTRS is an online, password protected, application which will allow real time access to membership data as well as certification data. The following features and benefits are included in this release of the software.

 Membership information as well as certification information can be cross checked and updated in a prompt manner.

 Hunt Test Secretaries can easily enter test scores which will lead to quicker certificate generation.

 Improve the turn around time from Hunt Test Events to the results being posted online.

We look forward to building on Phase One to bring you, the members, online access to Hunt Test Registration and the ability to access your certification records.  

Revised Certified Pointing Retriever Rules - Thursday, March 13, 2008
Effective with the spring hunt tests the Certified Pointing Retriever rules have been revised. The revisions are in red under the Rules tab and Certified Pointing Retriever. The changes are in two areas. The first area is "Scoring" where an individual category score of 1 1/2 or lower will result in failure. Also, the total score is changed from 18 to 21 points. The second area is the change and replacement of the last sentence under "Point".

Chips are great for identification and return to owner. Tatoos (inside the thigh) are a better deterent against theft.

I got Gunner microchipped as a pup. There easy to put in and there becoming big hits with vets, they all have the ID Remote. I think you can buy kits off the websites for doing it yourself for the kennel owners who put them in all there pups.

Get a microchip! Most vets have readers that will accommodate all chips.

The US uses a different frequency microchip than the rest of the world-124 instead of 132, or something. Many scanners in the US will not even recognize that there is a higher frequency chip-some will "see" it but not be able to read the number. Because we are in Canada so often, my dog has two chips, one of each type. Something to be aware of...

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

My Vet mentioned that there were two different frequencies for chips.  He said Banfield ended up having to re-chip several dogs because they were using the european chips instead of the US chips.  I guess that is resolved now though.
