AKC Parent Club recognition for TT

Several AKC Parent Clubs are now having the AKC recognize passing temperament tests for their breed. If your breed’s parent club recognizes the ATTS Temperament Test (TT), you can apply to have the title placed on your dog’s AKC record and receive an AKC certificate of title. For more information on parent club title recognition, including a link to the list of clubs currently recognizing the ATTS TT, please visit the AKC website: https://www.akc.org/sports/title-recognition-program/parent-club-title-recognition/temperament-testing/

An important message from the ATTS President

In a current article in the NEW YORKER magazine, issue 2006-02-06, a statement has been made which by inference can be attributed to me, especially since it follows one of my quotes. I would never use the phrase “human aggressive” with Rottweilers, German Shepherd Dogs or any other breed. This is the author’s statement, not mine.

Carl K. Herkstroeter
President, ATTS
