Turn left at the signal following sign for Hwy 302W (Shelton/Key Center) -- you will cross the Wauna Bridge.

ATTENTION EXHIBITORS AKC Trial Titles may now be earned under two judges. Per AKC Herding Regulations, Chapter 4, Sec. 3, the AKC will issue a title certificate once the dog has received three qualifying scores from at least two different judges from the same class, on the same course & livestock type. There are livestock guardian dogs on the premises. These dogs are working dogs & should be ignored. Please keep children under control & away from farm equipment, livestock, guardian dogs, & restricted areas. Please pick up after yourself & use trash cans on site. Only dogs eligible to be entered at this Test/Trial will be allowed within the Test/Trial limits except that testers/judges may use a trained backup dog in settling or controlling the stock. No entry shall be made & no entry shall be accepted which specifies any conditions as to its acceptance. Telephone, faxed, incomplete, or unsigned entries cannot be accepted. Entries cannot be accepted without entry fees. Funds drawn from Canadian banks add $8 per check to cover processing fee. PNWHC apologizes to our Canadian friends. This is what we are being charged. Multiple entries may be combined on one check to minimize additional fees. Entries not on an official herding AKC entry form or photocopies of the entry forms without the Agreement & Rules on the reverse side of the official herding AKC entry form cannot be accepted. Bring your crates and appropriate wear for the weather. You will need chairs, umbrellas, canopies, or whatever else you may wish to pack to be comfortable. Port-a-potties are available. Water is available for the dogs. Entry fees shall not be refunded in the event that a dog is absent, disqualified, excused by a veterinarian, judge or tester, or barred from competition by action of the Test/Trial Committee. If because of riots, civil disturbances, or other acts beyond the control of the management, it is impossible to open or complete the test/trial, no refund of entry will be made. Extreme weather conditions, including but not limited to snow storms, hurricanes, lightning, or extreme temperatures, must be considered for the health & safety of the dogs, livestock, exhibitors, judges, & spectators. The wellbeing of the dogs, livestock, exhibitors, judges, & spectators is of paramount importance. In the event it is necessary to cancel or stop this test/trial before completion, no refund of entry will be made. Returned checks do not constitute a valid entry. The secretary will add a collection fee of $20.00 to the amount of each returned check. Returned checks may result in the maker s entries being accepted on a cash-only basis. No dogs may be entered in two classes on the same course with the same kind of stock under the same judge. The replacement value for damage to the facility (gates, obstacles, buckets, etc.) will be the replacement cost. Replacement costs: Ducks-$25, Sheep-$150. The Pacific Northwest Herding Club, the Test/Trial Secretary, their agents, employees, the site owner, & others involved in hosting this event, assume no responsibility for any loss, damage, or injury sustained, by exhibitors or handlers, or to any of their children, dogs, or property; and they are not responsible for any damage to or lost or stolen items.
