4 To help resolve the confusion that has been occurred over the years with Excellent A and Excellent B classes, which are two distinctly different classes, we are renaming them to match the names of the titles that are earned from those two, different classes. The requirements to qualify are different in each of these classes as is the title earned when they complete the title requirements. In an effort to eliminate this confusion, as of January 1, 2013 the name of the Excellent A class will change to "Excellent" and the name of the Excellent B class will change to "Master". Please note, only the name is changing. The class themselves and the titles earned remain the same. The changes will be as follows: Excellent A will change to Excellent Excellent A Preferred will change to Excellent Preferred Excellent B will change to Master Excellent B Preferred will change to Master Preferred Left your entry until the last minute. your entry and pay the fees with Paypal.

Upcoming Events ( USRVDTC Obedience and Rally Trials August 16, 17, & 18, 2013 Lilac Circle, Tautphaus Park, Idaho Falls, ID Intermountain Kennel Club Agility Trials August 30, 31, September 1, & 2, 2013 Lynnleigh Farms, Sandy, UT Pocatello Kennel Club Agility Trials OK Ward Park, Pocatello, ID September 27, 28, & 29, 2013 USRVDTC Agility Trials Windriver Arena, Ririe, Idaho October 25, 26, & 27, 2013 MEASURING AND HEIGHT CARD INFORMATION Effective January 1, 2010, exhibitors are no longer required to provide proof to Trial Secretaries that their dog has a valid jump height card as part of the check-in process. Furthermore, this change eliminates the need for a copy of the jump height card to be submitted with an entry form. Dogs without a valid Jump Height Card/Form may still compete; but they must be measured/wicketed by the Judge of Record PRIOR to running in their class and this measurement will be valid for that weekend of trials only. The exception to this requirement is a dog entered in the 24 or 26 height division. However, if a Volunteer Measuring Official (VMO) or an Agility Field Rep is present; ALL dogs without a valid Jump Height Card/Form must be measured at some time during the trial or cluster of trials. This does not preclude having the dog wicketed by the Judge of Record if the VMO or Rep is not available to measure the dog before its first run of the trial or cluster of trials. It is the exhibitor s responsibility to have their dog measured prior to running and failure to do so will result in the cancellation of any qualifying scores. NEW Simplified Jump Height Card Process When filling out the entry form, there is a new section at the top of the form for exhibitors to designate whether your dog has a valid jump height card or if your dog needs to be measured. Please check the appropriate box so that the Trial Secretary knows whether to include your dog on the Dogs To Be Measured List. It is no longer required that you submit a copy of your dog s jump height card with your entry form or show it during day of show check-in. However, exhibitors should carry the original valid official jump height card/form at each trial to present upon request. (Chapter 2, Section 4). DOG ELIGIBLE TO ENTER Per AKC Rules and Regulations: This trial is open to all dogs fifteen (15) months of age or older that are registered with the American Kennel Club or that have AKC Limited Registration, Purebred Alternative Listing/Indefinite Listing Privileges (PAL/ILP) or an AKC Canine Partners listing number, or approved Foundation Stock Service (FSS) breeds.
