Links:  Email Discussion Groups

trackingtemp  The new home of the original tracking list, where you'll find discussion of the dog sport, tracking. They mostly talk about AKC-style tracking, but other discussions (on topic, of course) are also welcome.
tracking-L  Tracking-L was created when the original list crashed over the 2003 Christmas Holidays.  It is a list for people who are interested in or currently involved in AKC, CKC and/or ASCA type tracking with their dogs.
tinytrackers This is a discussion list for current and past trainers of small dogs, under 20 pounds, who have various kennel clubs tracking titles or are learning to track. Whether you are an experienced trainer/ handler or someone that is just starting to track your small dog, this list needs you and should be of great help.
