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.
