More information on Cruiser coming soon.

To become a Champion Tracker, Cruiser had to successfully complete all three tracking titles (TD, TDX and VST).

To earn a Tracking Dog (TD) title:
A dog earns a TD by following a track 440 to 500 yards long with three to five changes of direction.
The track is laid by a human tracklayer and is "aged" 30 minutes to two hours before the dog begins scenting.
The goal is to use the scented track to locate an article left at the end of the trail by the tracklayer.
The owner follows the dog on a long leash and can encourage the dog during the tracking test.

To earn a Tracking Dog Excellent (TDX) title:
The TDX is earned by following an "older" track (three to five hours) that is also longer (800 to 1,000 yard)
and has five to seven directional changes with the additional challenge of human cross tracks.

To earn a Variable Surface Tracking (VST) title:
In the real world, dogs track through urban settings, as well as through wilderness.
A VST dog has demonstrated this ability by following a three- to five-hour-old track that may take him down a street,
through a building and other areas devoid of vegetation.
