Hello,

I was wondering what the requirements for running a dog in the French Cup, in October, are? Is the only requirement a C.A.C.T. in a Fall Trial in 2006 or 2007?

Can the dog be one that is registered with AKC and not SCC?

Vern recieved a C.A.C.T. in the fall of 2006, and I am seriously considering coming to France to run him in the French Cup if he is eligable.

Thank you

1 CACT or RCACT in an OPEN TRIAL (= all continental breeds and any handler, pro or amateur), awarded in 2006, 2007 or in 2008 if before 10/10, is the minimum requested.

And, of course, the dog must be fully registered by an organisation acknowledged by FCI. For USA, it AKC, and AKC only.

I am sorry, Mark, but if I am right, Vern won this CACT/RCACT in a Club Field Trial (C.E.B. actually) so this will not do.
This rule is because in many "small breeds club trials" (Hungarian viszla, French Epagneul, Weimaraner, etc) the awards are relatively easily to win (less entries, breed promotion!) , compared to what happens in more numerous breeds such as Epagneul Breton, or GSP, or English Setter, for example

Thank you Pierre, You are correct. I am glad I asked the question. I think I will now concentrate on coming over for next years Spring trials.
