RESULTS

Article 16. Results.

A. The dog satisfying the three criteria will have successfully completed the TAN and shall receive a score of "Pass". UKC will note the achievement upon receipt of the Official Notification of the TAN Results for all dogs three (3) years and younger. A certificate will be mailed to the owner on record at UKC.

B. It is the sponsoring club's decision to offer ribbons or other such prizes to participants and to those who successfully achieve a TAN certification. Only Passes shall be recorded and recognized by UKC.

C. A dog that does not successfully complete the TAN requirements shall be able to enter in future TAN events until the maximum age limit is met. A dog that has completed the TAN will not be eligible to enter any future TAN events.

Article 17. TAN Equivalencies Earned in Field Trials.

A. Exemptions: A dog already classified with a Pass or better score at any official UKC licensed field trial is exempted from the TAN and is ineligible. However, nothing herein shall preclude a dog from earning a TAN by way of equivalency and a Pass or better score in any single field trial classification.

B. Equivalencies: Upon notification to a Judge in a UKC licensed field trial that a dog has not yet received a TAN and that the dog is eligible for consideration thereof, the Judge may consider awarding the dog a TAN certification by way of equivalency if the above requirements are demonstrated by the dog during the completion of a field trial heat.

C. Fees for TAN Equivalencies: If the dog achieves TAN certification by the Judge in a field trial rather than a TAN event, the handler shall tender to the club an additional fee in the amount set by the sponsoring club but which shall not be less than Twenty Dollars ($20), unless the handler has already paid such fee in connection with a TAN event to be held by the sponsoring club contemporaneously with the applicable field trial. The sponsoring club shall also tender to UKC an additional per dog fee for each dog receiving TAN certification by way of equivalency when the results are reported to UKC.

D. Annotation by UKC: Upon the results being transmitted to the UKC by the sponsoring club, the dog's registration record shall be annotated as having satisfied the TAN. Documentation should be sent to UKC including the following: TAN equivalency by way of field trial and classification, date, name of dog and handler, and signature of the Judge.
