Express mail entries must include the signature waiver allowing them to be left at the secretary s address. Inquiries may be directed to TRIAL SECRETARY, DEB LEWIS at deb@lookoutk9trials.com. No entry shall be made and no entry shall be accepted which specifies any conditions as to its acceptance. Illegible entries will not be processed and will be returned to the exhibitor. Returned checks do not constitute a valid entry and the Trial Secretary will add a $25.00 collection fee to the amount of each returned check. WAIT LIST BUCKHORN VALLEY KENNEL CLUB is offering a wait list to fill openings created by withdrawn entries after the trial s closing date/time. A maximum of 20 entries per element will be placed on the club's wait list. All entries, including wait listed entries, must be received by the Trial Secretary prior to January 9, 2019, 6 PM. If a withdrawn entry is replaced by a wait listed entry, a full refund will be issued for the withdrawn entry. Any wait listed entry that does not move off the wait list into the trial will receive a full refund. The wait list period expires January 26, 8:00 AM. If on event day, there are absentees know by 8:00 AM, Waitlisted Entries present can be taken to fill those spots. Refunds will be issued for any replaced entries in this situation. On event day, if all wait listed entries have expired, any present teams may be allowed to fill absentee slots. CLASS TRANSFERS/MOVE UPS WILL BE OFFERED From Regulations for AKC Scent Work: Chapter 3, Section 19. Class Transfers. A move-up transfer may be requested if, according to the owner s records, the handler and dog are eligible and the dog has completed the requirements for the title after the closing date of the trial in which the advanced entry is to be made. A move-down transfer may be requested if the owner mistakenly entered the dog in a higher-level class for which it is not eligible. A lateral transfer (from section A to section B) may be requested if the owner mistakenly entered the dog in section A, and it is not eligible. The request for a class transfer must be in writing and presented to the trial secretary at least 30 minutes prior to the start of each trial. Transfers may be approved provided the class is available and has not reached its limit. At their option, clubs may choose to accept move-up transfers for concurrently held trials (such that if an exhibitor earns their final leg in Trial 1, they may be allowed to move up for Trial 2), and this must be stated in the premium list. In this case, the 30-minute requirement is waived. In no case may an exhibitor be allowed to move up for Trial 1 if the final leg is earned in Trial 2. Transfers are always a change from one entry into another. If a dog completes a title after the closing date and therefore becomes eligible for an additional class, these transfer provisions do not allow the acceptance of an entry into the new class while maintaining the entry in the original class. Such a situation is not a transfer, but is an additional entry, which may under no circumstances be accepted after close of entries. This Event will accept Move-Ups/Class Transfers. STAGING AREA, HANDLER S BRIEFING, AND WARM-UP INFORMATION Staging Area will be out of view of search area(s). Staging area will include a warm-up and waiting area, as well as the secretary table for check-ins and posting of running order and results. Crating will NOT be available in this area. The Handler s Briefing will take place in view of the search area prior to the start of each class, after the hide(s) have been set and after the Demo Dog has run. In the Handler s Briefing the judge will explain if there s an off-leash option, number of hides, maximum height of hides and maximum time for the search. NO DOGS are to be present during the Handler s Briefing. A warm-up area will be available consisting of ONE container of Birch and ONE of Anise and may also consist of blanks containers. Exhibitors should limit their warm-up to (2) two minutes or less. The warm-up area is to be used exclusively for warming up the handler-dog team prior their run. The warm- up area is not for training or relieving of the dog. HANDLER DISCRIMINATION Handler Discrimination classes are titling classes in which the targeted scent is that of the handler themselves. Handlers are required to provide their own scented articles in a plastic bag, for the Novice class, one cotton glove or cotton sock, for, Excellent, and Master, cotton balls or cotton swabs. Three qualifying scores are required to earn titles in each class. Handlers may utilize any method they feel is best to scent their article. Suggestions include rubbing the article on the handler s body or storing the item in dirty laundry. SEARCH AREA AND RING CONDITIONS Search areas may be of any shape, and of the size specified in the Regulations for each class. Search Area Conditions. Searches may be indoors, on matted, carpeted, or tiled surfaces, or outdoors on grass, gravel, earth, concrete, or asphalt surfaces. Search Area Sizes NOVICE ADVANCED CONTAINER sq ft sq ft INTERIOR sq ft sq ft BURIED sq ft sq ft HAND DISCRIMINATION sq ft sq ft RIBBONS, AWARDS, AND PRIZES Placement ribbons will be awarded in each class as follows: Placement ribbons will be awarded in each class as follows: First Place Blue Second Place Red Third Place Yellow Fourth Place White Qualifying Score Dark Green New Title Rosettes High in Trial Only teams who participate in all elements offered (Container, Interior, Buried), and qualify in each are eligible to win High in Trial. One High In Trial winner is chosen; there is no separate High In Trial for the, or Novice A sections. The High in Trial is determined by adding the team s faults across the elements. If there is a tie based on faults, then the team s times across the elements will be summed and the faster-finishing team will win.

3 Teams winning a High In Trial will earn a rosette. All exhibitors should obtain a copy of the Regulations for Scent Work Trials by downloading them from the American Kennel Club website.

Wherever the word dog is used in these regulations it includes both sexes.

Deaf and blind dogs are allowed to enter. Females in season may not participate, aggressive dogs, or dogs suffering from an injury, or illness which may affect the dog s physical or mental performance may not participate. No dog shall compete if it is sutured, bandaged, or has any visible wounds. ADDITIONAL SITE INFORMATION Trial Site. It is not appropriate to visit the trial location prior to the trial date. Many search locations are real-life environments and such visits may risk the host losing the opportunity to use the location in the future. Additionally, this is a school. It is essential that you monitor your dogs behavior, and prohibit them from peeing on the building, playground, etc. We WILL excuse people and make them leave if we catch them not watching where their dogs eliminate. You MUST clean up after them. Possession of Odors and Training. Chapter 5. Section 26 of the Scent Work Regulations state No person other than those engaged in the administration of a trial shall be in possession of any target odor when on the trial grounds. There shall be no training on the grounds of the AKC Scent Work trial, other than the designated warm-up area. Spectator Area. Spectators are encouraged. Any person not handling a dog in the current class, or any person who has already completed their run in the class may choose to watch the search from the spectator area. Handlers may not watch other exhibitors from their class prior to their run except in the case of Handler Discrimination classes. No one outside the search area may assist the handler or disclose the location of the hide. Spectators who intentionally or unintentionally give aid to a team may be ask to leave the area by the judge. Spectators are forbidden to discuss details of the search with handlers who have not run. Crating space will be available in the cafeteria area of the building. Exhibitors must provide a mat or tarp under their crates (no ex-pens allowed). The BUCKHORN VALLEY KENNEL CLUB and THE KNOWLEDGE QUEST ACADEMY will not be responsible for any lost or damaged items within vehicles or left at the show site. Exhibitors are responsible for cleaning up after their dog(s). Any exhibitor failing to do so may be excused without benefit of refund if the Event Committee deems the exhibitor to be in violation of this requirement. Cleaning supplies and disposal sites will be available at various locations around the show grounds. 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 searches safely. 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 trial committee, be asked to leave the show site. In such case, no refund of any fees paid will be made. The American Kennel Club, Buckhorn Valley Kennel Club, The Knowledge Quest Academy 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 American Kennel Club and Buckhorn Valley Kennel Club 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 American Kennel Club, Buckhorn Valley Kennel Club, or The Knowledge Quest Academy or any official thereof. Collars, Leashes and Harnesses. During searches, dogs must wear a properly fitted collar or harness approved by the judge. A wearable camera such as a Go Pro may be mounted to the dog s harness, if desired. Leashes may be of any length and/or retractable. The leash should be made of plain, pliable material. All dogs must be on leash at all times, and retractable leashes may not be used when on trial grounds (except during judged searches). Dogs must enter and exit the search area with the leash attached to the collar or harness, including when waiting in the search area before and after the search. An off-leash option may be offered at the discretion of the judge, only if the area is completely enclosed. This club does not agree to arbitrate claims as set forth on the Official AKC entry form for this event. 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 Trial Committee. Dogs pulled after closing because of injury or other medical condition are not eligible for a refund. Bitches in season will be refunded the full entry fee. Notification in writing must be given to the trial secretary no later than one half hour prior to the start of the first class of the day of the trial. RINGSIDE Judges are not required to wait for dogs. The Owner of each dog is solely responsible for having it ready at the search area when it is to be judged. The Club has no responsibility to provide 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.
