Complete descriptions and qualifications for each class are published in The AKC Regulations for Agility Trials.
Please note that a dog must be entered only in the Regular Classes or only in the Preferred Classes at this set of trials.
Dogs do not have to be entered in a regular class to enter an ISC class.
HEIGHT DIVISIONS
Owners are responsible for entering the proper height divisions. Refer to the AKC website at www.akc.org/events/agility/jump_height_card.cfm for complete rules and policy regarding jump height cards and measurements It is likely we will have a VMO and / or AKC Rep present, therefore all dogs without a valid Jump Height Card must be measured. Dogs will not be moved to a lower jump height as a result of a measurement at these trials. Dogs will be moved to the higher jump height if measured prior to their run.
PLEASE NOTE NEW AKC POLICY!!! Trial secretaries are no longer allowed to maintain jump height cards in our database. We must have a height card attached to each entry. So, exhibitors must submit a copy of their height card with their entry, or show a copy at the trial before running, or be measured.DO NOT photocopy your height card to the back of your entry form. So please, if you have a height card, cut it down to size and submit it with your entry form, stapled to the back.PLEASE do not submit one or multiple height card(s) on a full size sheet of paper, as we then have to cut it out and staple it to the forms.You’d be surprised how much time this takes.

The random drawing for these trials will be held at the Canine Capers Training Facility, 6095-B Northbelt Dr NW, Norcross, GA 30071, beginning at 11:00 AM ET on February 28, 2008. Entries for a maximum of ten (10) dogs are allowed in each envelope submitted to the Trial Secretary for random draw. Envelopes containing entries for more than the ten (10) dog maximum shall be treated as an invalid entry and shall be returned to sender. Per AKC regulations slots for a designated number of dogs may be reserved for workers. To be considered for one of these slots, please fill out the Worker Volunteer form in this Premium List and send it with your entry. The selection of those admitted per this rule is at the discretion of the Trial Committees. Factors that may influence the committees’ decisions include the number of dogs an exhibitor is running, the amount of time the exhibitor will be available to work and the positions the exhibitor may fill. The form must accompany your entry for consideration as a worker. A single drawing will be held to determine entry for all 4 days of these trials. However, it will be possible to be accepted for some days and not others as each day fills at a different rate since exhibitors may enter any combination of dates. Those not accepted for all days that they have entered will be placed on a waiting list and will be notified by the Trial Secretary within 7 days of the drawing. Those exhibitors will have the option of remaining on the waiting list or canceling their entries for the days they were accepted. Cancellations must be received prior to the closing date and time.
