Fall Test
Our fall test will be held in December. Entries are not being accepted right now. Please check back for more information later.
Entries
The Tarheel Chapter holds tests twice a year, traditionally in March and December. The specific dates of these tests are announced and opened to Chapter membership, prior to them being posted publicly. If you would like to receive advance notice and early registration for our tests, you need to become a member of our chapter which you can do so here.
A test entry is considered complete when the Test Secretary has a completed form and the payment. Test entries are limited and will be taken on a first come, first served basis. (Note: Individuals are limited to 2 entries per testing weekend. Contact chapter leadership for potential special accommodation). All registration forms must be completed in full. If your number or dog’s number is pending please write this in appropriate boxes. Once your numbers become available please update the test secretary with this information. If you would like to join our wait list, you need to submit your entry form as well as payment. In the event you do not get into the test, we will refund your payment in full.
The form can be downloaded from this link: Entry form.

Refunds
We will not be offering refunds to any handler that is registered for our test if they decide to withdraw. The only exception to this policy is a withdrawal for a medical reason, substantiated by a doctor’s or veterinarian’s note.
Refunds will be given to waitlisted handlers who are not admitted to the test or decide to withdraw from the waitlist. You are responsible for pulling yourself from the waitlist if you do not intend to run your dog if admitted. Once admitted to the test from the waitlist, no refunds will be given.
Confirmation
An e-mail message will be sent to all handlers upon receipt of the test entry form. If you are placed on a waiting list for the test you will be notified of this. As the test approaches an email will be sent with the running order and important test information.
