The wait list will NOT be extended past the closing date of Oct. 22, 2014.
The safety of the dog 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 are able to perform all obstacles safely.
Please conserve as much space as possible in your setup areas so that everyone can
find indoor space. The trial committee reserves the right to ask exhibitor cooperation in
doing so. Ex-pens are allowed for multiple dogs. However, please use the minimum
space needed and refrain from joining multiple ex-pens to form extra-large areas for
multiple dogs.
Puppies under 4 months of age are strictly prohibited from the grounds.
Exhibitors are responsible for being at the ring gate when it is their turn to run.
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 unnecessary
disturbances or repeatedly engage in unsafe or disruptive behavior may, at the discretion of
the Trial Committee, be asked to leave the show site. In such case, no refund will be made
of any entry fees paid.
Returned checks do not constitute a valid entry fee. The Trial Secretary will add a
$25.00 collection fee to the amount of each returned check. Subsequent returned checks
from the same exhibitors may result in their being put on a CASH ONLY basis.
Entry fees will not be refunded in the event that a dog is absent, disqualified, excused,
or barred from competition by the action of the Trial Committee.
No entry fee will be refunded if the trial cannot open or be completed by reason of
riots, civil disturbances, fire, an act of God, public emergency, act of a public enemy, or
any other cause beyond the control of the organizing committee. Entry fee overpayment of
$5 or less will not be refunded.
Refunds After Closing: Full refunds will be given for bitches in season. Refunds, all
but $5 per run of entry fees, will be given for injured dogs or handlers with long term
illness or injury. The Trial Secretary must be notified of all refund requests in
writing (along with any supporting documents) as early as possible after closing, and
no later than noon on the trial date.

or PAL number. Mixed breed dogs that have been enrolled with the AKC
Canine Partners may participate provided their listing number has been
recorded on the entry form. Dogs should be physically sound. Dogs that are
blind or deaf shall not be eligible, and neither are bitches in season, aggressive
dogs, or dogs suffering from any deformity, injury, or illness which may affect the
dog’s physical or mental performance. No dog shall compete if it is taped or
bandaged in any way or has anything attached to it for medical purposes.
Exhibitors should follow their veterinarians’ recommendation to assure
their dogs are free of internal and external parasites, any communicable
diseases, and have appropriate vaccinations.
Measuring and Height Card Information
CLASS ORDER
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. The exception to this
requirement is a dog entered in the 24” or 26” height divisions. However, if a VMO
or an Agility Field Rep. is present, ALL dogs without a valid Jump Height Card/Form
must be measured at some time during the trial or cluster of trials. This does not
preclude having the dog wicketed by the judge of record if the VMO or Rep is not
available to measure the dog BEFORE its first run of 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.
This is a two-ring, two-judge trial. Classes will be judged in the following
order each day:
Standard Ring:
(Note: Judging starts at 9:00 a.m. each day in the following order) –
Excellent/Master, Open, Novice
JWW Ring:
Simplified Jump Height Card Process
IF YOUR DOG NEEDS TO BE MEASURED - Please check the “This Dog Needs to be
Measured” box on the Entry Form so the Trial Secretary knows to include your dog on the Dogs
To Be Measured List. 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. Exhibitors are still required to
have the official form/card with them at the trial to present upon request.
HEIGHT DIVISIONS
Owners are responsible for entering the proper height division. Dogs that
run in a height division lower than their proper division will be

Site Information and Directions - Hazelwild Farm
This site is an indoor horse arena. Ring size is 90’ x 92’. The surface is
permaflex footing (dirt/sand/rubber). It is NOT climate controlled.
Hazelwild Farm may designate certain areas “off limits” to exhibitors
and/or dogs. Signage will be posted where applicable.
A limited number of “reserved” parking spaces will be held for exhibitors
with at least 2 entered dogs remaining crated in vehicles (with handlers
working out of vehicles). Email Lois Tickle in advance at

received your preliminary confirmation from the trial secretary.
Deadline is Wed 11/5/14 at 5:00pm. Vehicles parking in these spaces

reassigned. Vehicles parked in these reserved spaces without displaying
the special parking passes will be asked to move.
This is a non-smoking facility! Smoking is strictly prohibited anywhere on
the property, including the adjacent field and parking areas. Smoking may
occur only within the confines of personal vehicles.
All dogs must be on a leash at all times on the grounds except when
in the ring, when in the designated agility warm-up area, when crated, or
when in a secure ex-pen. This will be strictly enforced due to horses
being in the vicinity.
In order to ensure that all dogs are under direct control at all times, NO
flexi-leads are to be used anywhere indoors.
Dogs (whether crated indoors or outdoors in vehicles) must be prevented
from crate guarding. If you have a reactive dog, please choose your
crating area carefully; if indoors, do not crate on aisles or near other high
traffic areas. Be prepared to cover an indoor crate. If crating reactive
dogs in vehicles, please park your vehicle in a remote area, and
definitely not near high traffic areas such as entrances, potty areas or
porta potties. Club members reserve the right to require exhibitors
to cover and/or move any dogs creating a disturbance.
Note: Any exhibitor found to be in violation of any published or
posted rules of the facility or that in any way jeopardizes future use
of this site may be subject to disciplinary action by the Event
Committee, according to AKC guidelines. This includes, but is not
limited to, cleaning up after dogs, disposing of waste properly, and
keeping your dog on leash at all times except when in the ring,
when crated, or when at the practice jump.
