Brace class (for the unit)$10

Rally Classes

First Entry of a Dog$20

Each day’s Rally Trial is a separate event from that day’s Obedience Trial (per AKC rules). Entering the same dog in both Obedience & Rally on the same day requires a “First Entry” fee for both events.

Here are some examples of typical entry situations:

Ginger entered in Novice A both days: $20 x 2 = $40

Sweep entered in Open B & Utility B both days: ($20 + $10) x 2 = $60

Abe entered in Rally Advanced B & Rally Excellent B both days: ($20 + $10) x 2 = $60

Lucy entered in Novice B & Rally Novice B both days: ($20 + $20) x 2 = $80

NOTICE TO EXHIBITORS

OBEDIENCE will be judged indoors. Two fully matted rings will be used.

RALLY will be judged outdoors on grass.

The ring will be set up on the athletic field that is used for our agility trials.

Remember to include the dog’s jump height when entering Rally Advanced & Rally Excellent!

Judging in the Obedience rings and the Rally ring will overlap. The judging schedule and running order will be set up to avoid conflicts.

Obedience Regulations.
