NOTICE TO EXHIBITORS
SAFETY, BEHAVIOR and LIABILITY
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 able to perform all obstacles safely. All exhibitors should obtain a copy of the Regulations
for Agility Trials by downloading them from the American Kennel Club website at
http://www.akc.org/rules/.
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 an unnecessary disturbance
or repeatedly engage in unsafe or disruptive behavior may, at the discretion of the event
committee, be asked to leave the show site. In such case, no refund of any fees paid will be
made. The FCRSA and its agents, employees, etc., will assume no responsibilities for any loss,
damage or injury sustained by exhibitors or handlers, or to any of their dogs or property and
further assumes no responsibility for injury to children. The FCRSA reserves the right to decline
entries for cause and may remove any dog on account of aggression. No one shall have any
recourse or claim against the FCRSA or any official thereof.
All dogs must be on leash at all times when on trial grounds except when in the designated
warm-up area or competing on the course.
REFUNDS
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. No entry fee will be refunded in the event a
dog is absent, disqualified, excused, or barred from competition by the action of the Event
Committee.
Bitches in season are not permitted to compete in Agility Trials. As such, the club will refund
the entry fee paid for bitches unable to compete for this reason, minus $5.00 per run, upon
presentation of a veterinarian certificate on the clinic’s letterhead. This certificate must be
presented with the refund request
to the Trial Secretary prior to the start of judging
on the day of the trial.
RINGSIDE
Dogs may arrive any time prior to judging if the dog has a valid temporary or permanent jump
height card. Otherwise, they must be available for measuring prior to the start of their class. All
dogs not needed for further judging will be excused.
Judges are not required to wait for dogs. The Owner of each dog is solely responsible for
having it ready at ringside when it is to be judged. The Club has no responsibility for providing
service through a public address system or stewards or runners for the purpose of calling or
locating dogs that are not brought into the ring when required.
This club does not agree to arbitrate claims as set forth on the Official AKC
Entry Form for this event.
