“AKC Fetch is a pass-fail noncompetitive test. The four levels of titles (Novice, Intermediate, Advanced, and Retriever) assess the ability of the dog to retrieve. In the Advanced and Retriever levels, the dog must respond correctly to signals. There is also a memory component in Advanced and Retriever because a retrieving bumper or ball is dropped (or thrown) behind a blind where it cannot be seen.
For each of the four titles, the dog must pass the test twice under two different approved AKC Fetch judges.
Dogs who are at least 6 months of age are eligible to take the AKC Fetch test as long as they are registered or enrolled with AKC and have an AKC, PAL, or AKC Canine Partners number.”
AKC Fetch is designed for all breeds.

2026 Tracking Test
March 14th - 15th
6:00am until the last track is completed
Tracking Dog (TD) and Tracking Dog Excellent (TDX)
KV Ranch Palisades, WA
Chair: TBD
Secretary: TBD
AKC Tracking Tests allow dogs to demonstrate their natural ability to recognize and follow human scent. This vigorous outdoor activity is great for canine athletes. Unlike Agility and Obedience events that require a dog to qualify three times, a dog only needs to complete one track successfully to earn each title.
2025 Report
by Maggy Susman
The Wenatchee Kennel Club held their annual TD/TDX test Sunday, March 16th at KV’s ranch in Palisades WA.
We had absolutely perfect weather, the tracking field were sprouting new green grass. Our judges were Jim Hallett and Suzanne Schwab.
We had a great turn out of volunteers. The Chief Tracklayer was John Njus, our TD tracklayers were Rich Evans, Sara Norris and Heather Stiver.
The TDX tracklayers were Pat Vetter, Marshall Brown, with Sue Edick and Kaylee Pearson handling the cross tracks.
We are happy to report 50% pass rate for the day. Out of 4 TD tracks we have 2 new TD titles, Dutch Shepherd-Dog, Bautista of Nemesis and a Newfoundland-Dog,
Nakiska’s Rebel Rebel. Out of the 2 TDX tracks, we have 1 new TDX an All American-Bitch, Terav Missal.
The judges said all teams were good working dogs and very close to passing.
Congratulations to all the teams that passed and all the teams who will pass next time!
