From the AKC – New online title application portal

AKC has developed a new online system to help make it easier for dog owners to apply for their dog’s AKC title. It is called the Title Application Portal (TAP). The portal offers a fast and simple, step by step experience to apply for titles offered in Canine Good Citizen, Trick Dog, Temperament Test, Fit Dog, Fetch, Barn Hunt, Diving Dog, Disc Dog, Flyball, Virtual Home Manners, Search and Rescue and any one of the titles recognized under the Parent Club Title Recognition Program. Users will need to login or create a MY AKC Account to begin. Dog owners can see each step of their transaction complete in real-time and confirm their order. Anyone needing assistance can contact titlerecognition@akc.org or call 919-816-3637.

MSDA’s August newsletter

MSDA’s August newsletter is available. The focus this month is on the upcoming Fall Hunt Test Weekend. Although some of the events are already filled, or close to it, the seminar and the mock pointing hunt test still have space available, and we are always looking for volunteers.
We’ve also got some warnings about Listeria and harmful algal blooms. 
And, we finish with our news and calendar sections. The fall event calendar is filling up!
