 * Effective 1 January 2010, a dog must earn the "QC" before he can be entered in an AKC trial for the first time, or already have earned a Field Championship from ASFA or from the Canadian Kennel Club.  To earn the Qualified Courser certificate, a hound at least 12 months of age (Qualifying Hound) running with another hound of the same breed, or another breed with a similar running style, shall receive certification from a licensed AKC coursing judge.  The hound must complete the course with enthusiasm and without interruption, sufficiently course the lure and not course the Testing Hound.
