What is AKC Fetch?
AKC Fetch titles were created as another activity in which owners could have fun with their dogs in the AKC Family Dog Program. While some dogs are natural retrievers, AKC Fetch will involve teaching new skills such as retrieving.
AKC Fetch is designed for all breeds.
AKC Fetch is a pass-fail noncompetitive test with four levels (Novice, Intermediate, Advanced, and Retriever) that assess the ability of the dog to retrieve. In the Advanced and Retriever, the dog must respond correctly to signals. There is also a memory component which involves retrieving an object placed behind a blind where it cannot be seen.
