All participants must present a current health certificate (remember it is law in most states when traveling across state lines), rabies shot (if required by age) and a copy of their shot record (your own shot record is fine, if you give your own shots) when signing in for the show. Dogs will not be admitted to the show area without these.
All dogs will be measured at check in if height requirements are part of breed standard. ASDR official will be measuring the dogs, and their word is final.
Females in season are allowed to participate, but care must be be taken to not distract other competitors. Exercise is allowed, but must be away from other dogs. This rule falls under sportsmanlike conduct and should be viewed by officials as such.

JUDGING:
Be on time for your class. Exhibitors are expected to be ready for their class. Numbers will be called with one reminder, and then the class will be closed.
Dogs will be evaluated both while gaited and stacked. In order to be properly evaluated, the dog must be compared to the standard while stacked to assess its conformation and gaited to determine the efficiency and athleticism of the dog’s movement.

Handlers are responsible for their conduct and personal appearance.
