Agreement and Rules. No entry shall be made and no entry shall be accepted

 Entry fees shall not be refunded except that of a bitch (minus $5) that comes in

season after being entered, by receipt of the Trial Secretary of a Veterinarian’s

Certificate to this effect prior to the start of the show. Entry fees shall not be

refunded in the event a dog is absent, disqualified, excused by a Veterinarian or

Judge or barred from competition by action of the trial committee. If, because of

riots, civil disturbances or other acts beyond the control of the trial committee, it is

impossible to open or to complete the show, no refund of entry fee will be made.

Dogs should be present at least ½ hour before they are to be judged.

Dogs in open/utility will be arranged in jump height order: high to low each day.

Returned checks do not constitute a valid entry fee. The Trial Secretary will add a

$28 collection fee to the amount of each returned check (current amount charged

for return checks in the city of Decatur). Subsequent returned checks from the same

exhibitor may result in their being put on a cash only basis.

Exhibitors are responsible for cleaning up after their own dogs. Please help us keep
