THE MANAGEMENT will not be responsible for the loss or damage to any dog exhibited, or
for the possessions of any exhibitor whether the result was by accident or any other cause. It is
distinctly understood that every dog at this event is in the care, custody and control of his owner
or handler during the entire time the dog is on the show premises. Any exhibitor whose dogs
and/or children create unnecessary disturbances or repeatedly engage in unsafe or disruptive
behavior may, at the discretion of the Show Committee, be asked to leave the show site. In such
case, no refund of fees paid will be made.
 This event will be held on packed earth in an indoor arena (95’ x 100’). There is a concrete
floor indoors for crating. The arena has fans and heaters.
 No leads or collars shall be permitted on the course at ANY time. Safety shall always be of
foremost consideration in actions and conduct by handlers.

NON-JUMPING CLASSES – VETERAN OR DISABLED HANDLER:
Handlers who are 60 years or older, or who have a disability that restricts mobility, may choose
to enter the non-jumping classes as a Veteran Handler and receive 10% more standard course
time. This option is for Veteran/Disabled handlers in the non-jumping classes only.
The Veteran/Disabled Handler division is designed for handlers who, due to age or impairment,
are mobility limited and need extra time to guide their canine partners through an agility course.
When entering as a Veteran/Disabled Handler, you must enter all dogs in all classes for the entire
trial in this Division and must jump 4” lower than your Standard Division jump height requires.
In the non-jumping classes, dogs will be scored and placed with their Standard Division jump
height.
IMPORTANT. Please check your dog's NADAC registration number on your trial confirmation
as soon as you receive it; also, please check the copy of the results posted at the trial. You should
report any errors to the Trial Secretary immediately.
NADAC records trial results as they are submitted by the host clubs/groups. The individual trial
results submitted by the club are uploaded to the www.NADACForum.com within two weeks
after the NADAC office receives them from the club. Please accept the responsibility to review
those results, and check that your registration number and qualifying points, as reported by the
club, are correct. You can join the Forum by going to www.NADACForum.com and submitting
your request. If you find an error in the reporting of your dog’s qualifying points or registration
number, please contact the host club. The host club is responsible for correcting any errors and
informing NADAC.
Levels. Points earned at a higher level of a class, prior to the completion of the lower level title,
will not be recorded by NADAC for future use. If a dog earns points in a level of a class that they
are not eligible to title in, those points will not be added to the dog's records.
As of January-2014: Dogs must enter the Veterans Division in all jumping classes after their 9th
birthday. After their 12th birthday, dogs must enter the Skilled Category/Veterans Division for jumping
classes and Skilled Category for non-jumping classes.
MEASURING:
All dogs entered in the Proficient Category in Novice, Open or Elite jumping 4”, 8”, 12” or 16” are
required to be measured (except Veteran or Junior Handler dogs jumping 16”). Dogs jumping 20” and
20+ are not required to be measured. Dogs in the Skilled Category or dogs with permanent height cards
do not need to be measured, nor do dogs with breed exemptions. Measurement forms may be obtained at

ENTRIES & CHANGES: Entries must be received by the Trial Secretary by the closing time to
be valid. E-mail change requests to Carol Jacobs, [email protected].
