Measuring and Height Card Information: It is no longer required that you submit a copy of your dog’s jump height card with your entry form or show it during day of show check-in. Dogs without a valid Jump Height Card/Form may still compete; but they must be measured/wicketed by the Judge of Record PRIOR to running in their class and this measurement will be valid for that weekend of trials only. There will be a VMO present on Friday and Saturday; all dogs without a valid Jump Height Card/Form must be measured at some time during the trial or cluster of trials. It is the exhibitor’s responsibility to have their dog measured prior to running and failure to do so will result in the cancellation of any qualifying scores. Make sure and allow plenty of time to be measured before your run.

Parking Information
To enter the agility (Performance) parking area you must have a Tan placard (which you can download and print at and then replace with one from the scoretable) on your dashboard or on the first day your confirmation letter will suffice. You must still pay for parking, but you will be allowed to park in the North Parking Lot closest to the agility area. In/Out Parking Passes are available from the Event Services Desk at the show site for all four days of the show. Without an In/Out Pass you will need to pay each and every time you enter the show grounds. You can download directions and maps at
We highly suggest that you use the McNee St. entry to the show site. Entry through other gates may make it difficult for you to get to the North Parking Lot (agility parking area, behind the loading docks). The North Stadium Gate is reserved for those with the IN/OUT Parking Passes.
All RV’s and Motor Homes will have to park in the designated lot.
