This is where we might need UKC to step in...the rule says "dogs at tree must be leashed" I agree, that sounds simple enough, but it has to first be decided what "dogs at tree" really means. I take that as dogs that were declared treed, and are in fact treeing when the judge arrives.
To argue the other way, why would you leash a dog that is: A. Not treeing B. Never declared treed and C. Simply near the area hanging around and D. Possibly going to get back on the track if left to do so. ?????
What if one of the dogs not declared treed and not seen to be treeing continues on track, swims the river and trees the coon on the other side??? I get that this didn't happen, but says UKC it is what should have happened. It didn't, so they get minus.
