Mistakes
In the earlier days of the AKC awards publication,
obedience and tracking titles were not always published. Then, as now,
mistakes tend to perpetuate themselves, and mistakes still happen.
When my Sagebrush Little Britches, UD TDX passed her TD test in 1995, all
the dogs who passed at that test received TDX certificates and were
published as having earned TDXs. If a correction is not published or
if no one catches the correction, the error will be passed on.
The dogs listed below have been included in some TD/TDX
lists and not in others. The reasons they are or are not included in
my lists are listed below. Any corrections would be appreciated.

| Cracker IV TD |

TD published 3-1967 |
This dog appears on several Sheltie TD lists, but is actually a poodle and is one of two poodles who
who were listed as Shetland Sheepdogs when their titles were published in the March 1967 AKC Gazette.
Error found by noting the AKC number, and confirmed by finding the dog's sire in the AKC Stud Book 1964-6. |
| Wagon Star's Toujours L'Amour TD |
|
TD published 3-1967 |
This dog also appears on several Sheltie TD lists, but is actually a poodle and is the second of two poodles
who were listed as Shetland Sheepdogs when their titles were published in the March 1967 AKC Gazette.
Error
found by noting the AKC number, and confirmed by finding the dog's sire in the AKC Stud Book 1962-12. |
