An offi cial AKC Jump Height Card is defined as either a permanent jump height card, a valid temporary jump height form, copies of two different measuring forms (placing the dog in the same height class) dated on or after the dog s second birthday, or copies of three different measuring forms (two of which place the dog in the same height class) on or after the dog s second birthday.

You are required to mark on your entry form your dog s height card status. It is the exhibitor s responsibility to request measurement. If your dog does not have a valid height card for a trial and is not measured by a VMO, if present, any qualifying runs earned will be disallowed.

Entry fees will not be refunded if the trials cannot be opened or completed by reason of riots, civil disturbance, fi re, an act of God, public emergency, an act of a public enemy, or any other cause beyond the control of the organizing committee. Since bitches in season are not allowed to compete in AKC Agility Trials, the club will refund all but $10.00 of the entry fee per day for bitches unable to compete for that reason. The Trial Secretary must receive written notification of such a claim for refund by letter handdelivered, ed, or postmarked before the trial commences. It is expressly understood that exhibitors alone are responsible for the behavior of their dogs and/or children.
