The first tracking test (as part of the UD title) was held on September 13, 1937, as reported in “The Story of Dog Obedience” by Blanche Saunders. The first tracking test at which a dog could earn a TD title was October 7, 1947. Until that time, tracking was part of the Utility Dog title. The TDX test was first offered in 1980 and the VST test offered in 1995.
