Novice Earthdog
Note that at these tests we are offering the new Novice Earthdog class. NE is very similar to IQ (10-foot, one-turn tunnel), except that neither the judge nor the handler may help the dog after the release. Novice Earthdog is a titling class: two passes under two different judges earns a NE title.
At our tests, dogs who have not yet earned an Earthdog title may be entered in any combination of IQ, NE, and/or JE.
