Sorry Richard for not responding before now.

If I'm thinking about the same person I talked to, the situation was completely different than how you present it in your first post. Here was their scenario:

Dogs A, B, C, D all struck and treed in that order. Several hundred yards before they get to the tree, dog B is heard trailing left-handed a considerable distance. Dog B is minused for being off the tree. When they get to the tree, B is back and treeing with other dogs.

Now you can see how I ruled dog B as a dog treeing but not declared treed when the Judge arrived.

Sorry for the confusion but it is difficult when the scenarios are changed just a little bit this way or that. It can make a completely different ruling and a completely different outcome.

Now I understand. I wondered how in the world that you would rule like that. The sad part is that these guys will continue to minus the dogs strike points in the future and say, "I called UKC and this is how they said to do it." Now let me see if I have this right....It is UKC's official position that as soon as a judge/cast can see/score a tree, then they have "arrived"? This would be a good topic for an advisor column.
