It is expressly understood that exhibitors alone are responsible for the behaviour of their dogs and/or children. Any exhibitor whose dogs and/or children create unnecessary disturbances or engages in unsafe, disruptive, or aggressive behaviour may be asked to leave the show grounds; no refunds will be given.

An officiating Judge, and/or the Chairperson of the trial, may dismiss from the trial site any person subjecting the Judge, or members, or the organizing committee to abuse, whether that person is competing in the trial or not.

Female dogs in heat are not permitted on site.

Dogs that engage in disruptive barking or whining should be crated in a closed vehicle, parking at house location (3min walk) to avoid disruption to other participants. An addiional crating area (Dog Gym) may be made available.

Clean, dry indoor shoes must be worn inside the buildings  (blue floor arae). For safety purposes, all outdoor, wet, or soiled shoes must be and kept with the competitor at their crating location, or left on the boot racks provided.

Refunds will only be issued if the Trial Secretary is notified before the trial closes and the dog is unable to compete for medical reasons; a veterinary note must be provided (a female in heat is not considered a medical reason, females in heat are not permitted at the trial). Admin charge of $15 applies.
