Exhibitors should follow their veterinarian’s recommendations to assure their dogs are free of internal
and external parasites, any communicable diseases, and have appropriate vaccinations.
Effective January 1, 2010, exhibitors are no longer required to provide proof to Trial Secretaries
that their dog has a valid jump height card as part of the check-in process. Furthermore, this
change eliminates the need for a copy of the jump height card to be submitted with an entry form. 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 and this measurement will be valid for that weekend of
trials only. The exception to this requirement is a dog entered in the 24” or 26” height division. 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
the dog before its first run of the trial or cluster of trials. 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.

Simplified Jump Height Card Process
When filling out the entry form, there is a new section at the top of the form for exhibitors to
designate whether your dog has a valid jump height card or if your dog needs to be measured.
Please check the appropriate box so that the Trial Secretary knows whether to include your dog
on the Dogs To Be Measured List. It is no longer required that you submit a copy of your dog’s
jump height card with your entry form or show it during day of show check-in.
DOG ELIGIBLE TO ENTER
COURSE WALK-THROUGHS AND WARM-UP INFORMATION
This trial is open to all dogs fifteen (15) months of age or older that are registered with the
American Kennel Club or that have AKC Limited Registration, Purebred Alternative
Listing/Indefinite Listing Privileges (PAL/ILP), an AKC Canine Partners listing number, or
approved Foundation Stock Service (FSS) breeds are eligible to participate.
Handlers in all classes are permitted to walk the course, without a dog, during a walk-through
period held prior to the start of the class. The walk-through is restricted to handlers entered in
that class only. Handlers with multiple dogs, at events with multiple rings may request to walk
with a height group other than the one their dog is entered in if a conflict is imminent.
Dogs with a Purebred Alternative Listing/Indefinite Listing Privileges (PAL/ILP) or an AKC
Canine Partners listing number must be spayed or neutered in order to compete. Wherever the
word “dog” is used in these regulations it includes both sexes.
A warm-up area, consisting of a regulation agility jump, may be provided for exhibitors. The
warm-up area is to be used exclusively for warming up the dog and not for training or relieving of
the dog.
Dogs should be physically sound. Dogs that are blind or deaf shall not be eligible, and neither
are bitches in season, aggressive dogs, or dogs suffering from any deformity, injury, or illness
which may affect the dog’s physical or mental performance. No dog shall compete if it is taped or
bandaged in any way or has anything attached to it for medical purposes. Refer to Chapter 2 of
the Registration and Discipline Rules for the listing of registerable breeds that may participate.
Puppies under four months of age are strictly prohibited from the trial grounds.
OBSTACLES AND RING CONDITIONS
Obstacles will meet the specifications for obstacles in the current edition of the Regulations for
Agility Trials. All classes will take place outdoors, under cover on packed dirt. Ring sizes will be

NOTICE TO EXHIBITORS
SAFETY, BEHAVIOR and LIABILITY
The safety of the dog is our primary concern. By entering this trial, exhibitors acknowledge
that they are familiar with the rules and regulations of this sport, and that their dogs are
familiar with and able to perform all obstacles safely.
It is expressly understood that exhibitors alone are responsible for the behavior of their
dogs and/or children. Any exhibitor whose dogs and/or children create an unnecessary
disturbance or repeatedly engage in unsafe or disruptive behavior may, at the discretion of
the event committee, be asked to leave the show site. In such case, no refund of any fees
paid will be made. The Newnan Kennel Club and its agents, employees, etc., will assume no
responsibilities for any loss, damage or injury sustained by exhibitors or handlers, or to any of
their dogs or property and further assumes no responsibility for injury to children. The
Newnan Kennel Club reserves the right to decline entries for cause and may remove any dog
on account of aggression. No one shall have any recourse or claim against the Newnan
Kennel Club or any official thereof.
All dogs must be on leash at all times when on trial grounds except when in the designated
warm-up area or competing on the course.
REFUNDS
No entry fee will be refunded if the trial cannot open or be completed by reason of riots, civil
disturbances, fire, an act of God, public emergency, act of a public enemy, or any other
cause beyond the control of the organizing committee. No entry fee will be refunded in the
event a dog is absent, disqualified, excused, or barred from competition by the action of the
Event Committee.
Bitches in season are not permitted to compete in Agility Trials. As such, the club will refund
the entry fee paid for bitches unable to compete for this reason, minus judge and secretarial
fees, upon presentation of a veterinarian certificate on the clinic’s letterhead. This certificate
must be presented with the refund request to the Trial Secretary prior to the start of judging
on the first day of the trial or cluster of trials.
RINGSIDE
DIRECTIONS TO THE TRIAL SITE
Dogs may arrive any time prior to judging if the dog has a valid temporary or permanent
jump height card. Otherwise, they must be available for measuring prior to the start of their
class if a VMO or AKC Field Rep is available to measure dogs. All dogs not needed for
further judging will be excused.
Judges are not required to wait for dogs. The Owner of each dog is solely responsible for
having it ready at ringside when it is to be judged. The Club has no responsibility for
providing service through a public address system or stewards or runners for the purpose of
calling or locating dogs that are not brought into the ring when required.
VENDORS
If you would like a vendor space, please contact Lisa Dempsey 770-716-8375 or
[email protected] for more information.
This club agrees to arbitrate claims as set forth on the Official AKC Entry Form for this
event.
ADDITIONAL SITE INFORMATION
This event will be held outdoors on packed dirt under permanent cover. There will be a food
vendor on site.
Exhibitors are responsible for cleaning up after their dog(s). Any exhibitor failing to do so may
be excused without benefit of refund if the Event Committee deems the exhibitor to be in
violation of this requirement.
