OPEN TO LABRADOR RETRIEVERS
This hunt is held under the rules of the American Pointing Labrador Association.
No Retriever may compete in 2 different categories per licensed hunt.

Each Dog is limited to one (1) Licensed Hunt.
Running order will be posted on the APLA web page under the EVENTS TAB

The Hunt Test Chair, with the approval of the Hunt Test Committee, may choose to modify the conditions of the Test based on resources available, weather or other factors and will ensure that the changed conditions will be posted on the APLA web site 24 hours in advance of the Hunt Test under the EVENTS TAB and on the huntsecretary.com site if needed. All participants are encouraged to review the APLA website for possible updates.

There are generally NO Walk-ups allowed. The exception is when the HTC has received a request by a member, who for extenuating circumstances, was unable to register online. Walk ups will only be allowed only if approved by the hunt test chair prior to the test date. Walk-ups by their nature cause extra work and will require an additional handling fee of $40 per weekend. This fee shall be collected along with the registration fee, proof of membership, fully completed application, and dog registration info (UKC papers), before the dog is allowed to run.

No handler is allowed to run a dog without assurance that all fees have been paid and all appropriate documentation has been received by the APLA.

Proof of registration with United Kennel Club (UKC) as a purebred Labrador Retriever is required to compete in APLA events. The American Pointing Labrador Association (APLA) recognizes only Black, Yellow and Chocolate Labrador coat colors, as recognized by the UKC and defined by the Labrador Retriever Club, Inc. The APLA has approved that Hunt Test Chairs and Judges may report suspected deviations in color to the UKC. Proven dilute factored dogs are not eligible for APLA titles.

All dogs must be entered at the highest stake they intend to run for that test. Dogs may be shifted to a lower stake Dogs may only be entered in one stake per day.
