Dogs May Arrive any time prior to their scheduled time of judging. Dogs not required for further judging will be excused. Judges Will Not Wait for Any Dog Holding Up a Class. Owners or agents alone are responsible for the presence of their dogs in the judging ring when their classes are called to be judged. All Dogs Present must be held on leash or confined to their crates except when being judged or when in the exercising ring. No gasoline or diesel generators are permitted inside any building or within 100 feet of any tent in which this dog show is conducted. As specified in Chapter 12, Section 4 of the AKC Rules Applying to Dog Shows, information contained on the entry form is required to be published in the club s show catalog. This information is also subject to publication in other media. Entry Fees shall not be refunded in the event that a dog is absent, disqualified, excused by Veterinarian or Judge, or barred from competition by action of the event's Show Committee. If because of riots, wars, strikes, civil disturbances, national emergencies, health emergencies, and the dictates of law enforcement or of the owner(s) of the grounds and/ or facilities or other acts beyond the control of the management it is impossible to open or to complete the show, no refund of entry fee will be made. Extreme weather conditions, such as, but not limited to, snow storms, hurricanes, lightning, extreme heat, heavy rains, or other circumstances including, but not limited to, the condition of the facilities or grounds and/or the ingress and egress from the grounds, must be considered for the health and safety of the dogs, exhibitors and spectators. The well-being of dogs, exhibitors and spectators is of paramount importance and, in the event it is necessary to cancel or stop the show before completion, no refund of entry fee will be made. The Club and its Superintendent caution all persons entering the show site and show grounds against all hazards which may exist, including, but not limited to: Condition of the site/grounds, parking/loading/unloading areas, entrances, floors and stairways, elevators and escalators, floor coverings, walkways, tenting/canopies, electrical appliances, cords and fittings, exercise pens, and the presence of animals. All persons should take into consideration this is a sporting event and dress, act and exercise caution appropriate for the activity involved. All persons entering the show, the grounds, site and show areas for whatever purpose do so entirely at their own risk. By virtue of entering the show, the entrant has indicated their acceptance of the terms listed in the premium list and assumes all risks involved. Show Safety: Responsibility of Exhibitors Exhibitors are charged with absolute responsibility for the control of their dogs throughout the period the dogs are on the show grounds, including rings, grooming areas and common areas. No delegation of such duty of control given to another shall relieve the Exhibitor of the ultimate responsibility to control his or her dog's behavior. As used herein, control shall require of an Exhibitor the taking of such affirmative action and effort as may be necessary to preclude the dog from demonstrating against or evidencing aggressive behavior toward or attacking or biting or threatening to attack or bite, any other Exhibitor, dog, member of the public or Show Official. Exhibitors are particularly cautioned to appreciate that patrons of dog shows, particularly children, whether in the company of an adult or otherwise, are frequently unaware that an innocent touching may erroneously be perceived by the dog as a threat leading to defensive conduct and a loss of control by the Exhibitor. The effort required of an Exhibitor to retain control shall therefore include the need for the giving of preventive warning to all who may approach the dog in a manner that is likely to incite unwanted behavior. The giving of such warning, however, shall not be deemed to release or relieve the Exhibitor from all further duty to keep his or her dog under control at all times. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limitation upon the ultimate responsibility of the Exhibitor for control, dogs shall be kept on leash or crated throughout the Shows. Exhibitors shall promptly and affirmatively respond to all instructions or orders regarding show safety directed or called to the attention of the Exhibitor by a Show Official. No debate or argument with such Show Official shall be permitted. Though it is the intent of these rules to avoid any untoward incident from occurring, the inadequacy of any rule or regulation to accomplish such purpose shall not serve to release or relieve the Exhibitor from the responsibility of control over his or her dog. Exhibitors are charged with full awareness and knowledge of the behavior of their respective dogs and are expected to respond accordingly. 8
