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. This measurement will be valid for that weekend of trials only. Dogs entered in the 24 or 26 height division are excepted from this requirement. 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 before the dog s first run of the trial. 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. Judging will not be held up or interrupted for measuring. Please see Instructions section of entry form.
