In NPCA recall, how many points are awarded for 18 to 60 yards?

• A. 50 points
• B. 25 points
• C. 40 points
• D. 10 points

Answer: (A)

Distance-based scoring in NPCA recall is designed so the points reflect how challenging the distance is for the dog to respond reliably. When the recall is required from a long range, such as 18 to 60 yards, the points awarded are at the top end of the scale, recognizing the greater difficulty of maintaining focus, control, and a proper return from that distance. This bracket being worth 50 points shows that performing well at this distance demonstrates a high level of training and reliability, which is why it’s the best answer.
