Notice to Exhibitors

·  Safety of the dogs is our primary concern. By entering this trial, exhibitors acknowledge that they are familiar with the rules and regulations of this sport, and that their dogs are familiar with and able to perform all obstacles safely.

·  It is expressly understood that exhibitors alone are responsible for the behavior of their dogs and/or children. Any exhibitor whose dogs and/or children create disturbances or engage in unsafe or disruptive behavior may, at the discretion of the Trial Committee, be asked to leave the Trial site. In such case, no refund of any fee paid will be made. Any incident of dog aggression resulting in harm to other dogs or people that occur within the show grounds will be reported by the Trial Committee to the proper authorities.

·  Entry fees will not be refunded in the event that a dog is absent, disqualified, excused, or barred from the competition by action of the Trial Committee.

·  All dogs MUST be on leash, crated, securely penned, or otherwise under physical control at all times when not competing or at the practice jump. Crating space is limited; please crate in the designated area.

·  There may be no more than 10 dogs per entry envelope.

·  No entry fee will be refunded if the trial cannot open or be completed by means of riot, civil disturbance, fire, or an act of God, emergency, act of public enemy, or any other cause beyond the control of the organizing committee.

·  Dogs are not required to be at the Trial until scheduled time of judging. However, exhibitors are responsible for being at the ringside when it is their turn to run. Judges need not wait for any dog holding up the class. Please check in with the Gate Steward.

·  In accordance with AKC Rules Applying to Dog Shows, no dogs under the age of 6 months, and no dogs ineligible to be registered with the AKC, are allowed on the show site. All AKC rules apply regarding toys and food in the ring.

·  Refunds: A refund of 100% of the entry fees will be given for any reason, if the request is received by the Trial Secretary, in writing or e-mailed, prior to closing. After closing and prior to the trial starting, entry fees (less administrative, judging, and AKC fees), will be refunded for injured dogs, injured handlers, and bitches in season (when a letter from your veterinarian is presented before 8 a.m. on the first day of the trial.) A doctor/vet’s letter may be required for injuries, at the discretion of the Trial Committee. Requests for refunds received after the start of the Trial will not be given for any reason.
