NOTICE TO EXHIBITORS This trial is sanctioned by and will be held under the current rules and regulations of the Australian Shepherd Club of America (ASCA) with the Alaska Australian Shepherd Club as the sponsor club. Exhibitors, through submission of entry, acknowledge that they are knowledgeable of ASCA rules and regulations, and agree to abide by all rules along with the following: All healthy, trained dogs over eighteen (18) months of age, including purebred and nonpurebred, are eligible to compete in ASCA agility trials. Except bitches in season, dogs suffering from any deformity, injury or illness that may affect the dog s physical or mental performance, or dogs exhibiting any signs of aggression towards people or other dogs. The handlers should always conduct themselves in a sportsmanlike fashion. Any dog which demonstrates aggression towards any person or any dog, whether inside the ring or outside the ring, must be excused from the agility trial. Any dog which the judge feels is not in enough control to perform all obstacles in a safe manner will be excused from the agility trial. I (we) further agree that when my dog(s) are left unattended, they will be secured in a crate or x- pen. Owners/handlers whose dogs are tethered or improperly secured will not be allowed on the show grounds. No collars, leads, food, toys, clickers, or other aids or devices shall be permitted on the course or within ten feet of the ring at any time. The only exception to this is leading your dog to the start on lead, and then handing the lead to a steward. All dogs must be on leash when not competing. Safety shall always be the foremost consideration in actions and conduct by handlers at all times. No entry shall be accepted from a dog or handler disqualified from the ASCA Agility or ANY ASCA programs, or anyone not in good standing with ASCA. The sponsoring clubs will not be responsible for the loss or damage to any dog exhibited, or for the possessions of any exhibitor whether the result be accident or other cause.
