AKC CODE OF SPORTSMANSHIP PREFACE The sport of purebred dog competitive events dates prior to 1884, the year of AKC s birth. Shared values of those involved in the sport include principles of sportsmanship. They are practiced in all sectors of our sport: conformation, performance and companion. Many believe that these principles of sportsmanship are the prime reason why our sport has thrived for over one hundred years. With the belief that it is useful to periodically articulate the fundamentals of our sport, this code is presented. CODE OF SPORTSMANSHIP Sportsmen respect the history, traditions and integrity of the sport of purebred dogs. Sportsmen commit themselves to values of fair play, honesty, courtesy, and vigorous competition, as well as winning and losing with grace. Sportsmen refuse to compromise their commitment and obligation to the sport of purebred dogs by injecting personal advantage or consideration into their decisions or behavior. The sportsman judge judges only on the merits of the dogs and considers no other factors. The sportsman judge or exhibitor accepts constructive criticism. The sportsman exhibitor declines to enter or exhibit under a judge where it might reasonably appear that the judge s placements could be based on something other than the merits of the dogs. The sportsman exhibitor refuses to compromise the impartiality of a judge. The sportsman respects the AKC bylaws, rules, regulations and policies governing the sport of purebred dogs. Sportsmen find that vigorous competition and civility are not inconsistent and are able to appreciate the merit of their competition and the effort of competitors. Sportsmen welcome, encourage and support newcomers to the sport. Sportsmen will deal fairly with all those who trade with them. ENTERING THIS TRIAL INDICATES YOUR AGREEMENT TO ABIDE BY THIS CODE.

HUNTING DOG STAKE The Hunting Dog Stake is a non-regular field event that is designed to award those dogs that demonstrate proficiency as hunting dogs. Specifically, the stake is designed to focus on dogs that have completed their JH title and are working towards the SH title and/or dogs that need a chance to compete and obtain fieldwork to both improve their hunting abilities and to showcase their existing talents. Each brace is 15 minutes. Dogs may be collared while on point and may run with a check cord. Eligibility: Any dog that is eligible to compete in licensed AKC pointing breed field trials or hunt tests is eligible to run in Hunting Dog Stakes. Bitches in season may not run. Placements will be made at the end of each day and ribbons will be awarded for Places 1 thru 4. A dog may run, but is not eligible for placements in a stake if it: - has completed a Senior Hunter or Master Hunter title - has placed 1st in a broke dog stake. Other breeds, or Vizslas not owned by TBVC members, are eligible for placement at individual stakes only. Only Vizslas owned by TBVC members are eligible for cumulative placements and the Hunting Dog of the Year Traveling trophy. Judging: Judging is done by the Gunners and is based on a dog s actual performance and its potential as a worthy hunting companion. A complete coy of the rules is available on the TBVC website at: http://www.tampabayvizslaclub.com/documents/hunting_dog_rules_and_guidelinesofficial_2010.pdf Entries: Advance entries are $20 and must be received before the Closing date and time. Entries may be made at the event for $25 if space is available. Precedence in the running order will be given to advance entries.
