4 SITE INFORMATION & CLUB POLICIES There is no food vendor on site. Various restaurants and fast food vendors are located within a short driving distance of the site. Some offer delivery.

Exhibitors who allow their dog to eliminate in prohibited locations or who do not clean up after their dog will be dismissed from the trial with no refund. There is no overnight RV parking on site. During the trial, RVs can be parked in the back of the lot. This is a containerized trial. Food or a small noiseless toy may be carried into the ring in your pocket provided it is contained in a ziploc bag or small container such as a pill bottle. The container may not be visible or open in the ring or within 10 feet of the ring. You cannot indicate to your dog that you have this item on you (e.g. patting your pocket). All food and toys must be contained at the trial; loose food and toys will be discarded by the management. NADAC has implemented this policy to reduce the possibility of dogs fighting over loose food or toys and dogs dragging their handlers back to their crates. Sprint turf requires specialized cleaning. A damage fee for accidents will be levied. No food or beverages (other than water) may be consumed on the sprint turf. No cleats of any type may be worn on the turf. You must protect the floor by putting waterproof mats/tarps under your crates and chairs. Crating space is limited. High occupancy x-pens only. Crates and chairs may be left overnight. The building will be locked but Artful Dodgers is not responsible for security of personal items. Dogs may NOT be left overnight. No alcoholic beverages are allowed on the show site. All dogs must be on leash when not competing in the ring. Dogs must be appropriately crated or penned when not competing or not with their handlers. Dogs may not be left unattended tied to chairs, doors, etc. Dogs are not permitted in the restrooms. Exhibitors are responsible for being at the ring when it is their turn to run, and to enter the ring when the gate steward indicates. Any dog and handler not present when they are called will be inelegible to run. NADAC ribbons will be awarded to first through fourth places in all jump heights in all classes except Chances. Rosettes will be awarded for those earning a title. NOTICE TO EXHIBITORS Exhibitors through submission of entry, acknowledge that they are knowledgeable of NADAC rules and regulations and agree to abide by all rules in effect at the time of the trial.
