Running NFC: We are happy for any handlers to run their dogs not for competition. However to be fair to those running for competition we ask that you do not use food in the ring and that you either run both runs NFC or your second run. It is not possible to run the first run NFC and the second for competition as this may give and unfair advantage. Please inform the scrimer if you are running NFC.
