2 Beginners 123 Shows are open to any dog and handler combination who are eligible to compete in KC shows at grades 1,2 and 3. These are independent shows so your dog does not have to be KC registered or have been officially measured, the KC grades are just a guideline. If you have never competed at any show before you are eligible for grade 1. Dogs may compete at one jump height below that for which they are eligible ie Large Standard, Standard Medium, Medium Small, Small Micro. If you wish to run your dog over an even lower height you may run for clear round rosettes only. Courses are extremely simple and designed to encourage dog and handler There are 5 jump heights: micro, small, medium, standard, large. Limited to 300 runs. Agility has no seesaw and a maximum of 6 weaves, Steeplechase has just jumps and tunnels. This show usually runs indoors in a secure venue where we can shut the gate, but we cannot guarantee this. If you have any extreme behaviour or temperament problems with your dog please let us know in advance we are very sympathetic. You may carry a toy in your hand while you compete but you may not throw it. No loose food in the ring but you may have food in a sealed container or pouch in your hand. Classes: 1. Agility 1 2. Agility 2 3. Steeplechase 1 4. Steeplechase 2

3 RULES and GENERAL INFORMATION Competitors participate at their own risk. The shows are all held at a working equestrian centre. Please keep your dog on the lead and pick up after it at all times. The stable yard is out of bounds. You may walk your dogs in the woods but there are pigs in there. They are now fenced so that they cannot get out but the dogs can get in as the fencing is very low so please be very careful and keep your dogs under control. If you see a horse coming please put your dog on the lead. There is a nice walk round the cross country course. This is fenced off from the horses but the fencing is electric. The stable yard is out of bounds. The speed limit once you enter the property is 5 mph that is very slow, less than walking speed anything faster is dangerous. Imagine if your dog slipped its collar when someone was driving too fast and don't do it! If you are caught speeding you will be asked to leave! All dog poo must be put in the wheelie bin near the rings or directly on the bonfire in the woods and not in the red bins. Dogs must be at least 16 months to compete. If you are doing a training round you will be allowed 60 seconds on the course. Please inform the scrimer if you wish to train. No bitches in season. Anyone considered to be harsh handling will be asked to leave. Spray collars and pet correctors are not permitted. If you have an aggressive dog please keep it away from the other dogs, if you let us know then we will make sure you do not miss your turn. Please do not use squeaky toys near the ring although you may use one in the ring if you are training. Jump heights are micro, small, medium, standard and large using the KC measuring system. For beginners shows a standard dog is under 20 at the shoulder. Beginners shows have only one ring which is completely secure. Courses are the same for all heights and may only be walked at the beginning, not between heights. Rosettes will be presented to at least 10% and prizes to 3 rd in each height category in each class. Depending on numbers micro/small results and standard/large results will be combined. Clear round rosettes are available in all classes

4 Entries can be booked by or using the online form on our website but payment must be received within 7 days or the entry will be cancelled. Entries close 2 weeks before the date of the show after which no refunds or transfers to other shows can be made. However, if we have not reached our limit late entries will be accepted on the day although it is helpful to know the night before for the paperwork. We are no longer going to create running orders as such just a list of the dogs entered in each class, you can run in any order, if you have more than one dog in a height category please run one early so you do not hold up the class. These lists will be sent out by a week before the show, Monday morning at the latest. If you do not receive yours please let me know, s often disappear. REFRESHMENTS we provide FREE tea and coffee, please help yourself from the urn. We do provide cups but you may wish to bring your own mug. Pachesham also has a canteen at the top of the drive on the right in the green building, selling bacon rolls, chips etc. They are usually open for the duration of the show although we cannot guarantee this.
