This trial is open to all dogs over the age of 6 months that are registered with the American Kennel Club, including ILP/PAL registration, AKC Canine Partners listing number and Approved FSS breeds, except bitches in season, aggressive dogs, or dogs suffering from any deformity, injury, or illness, which may affect a dog’s physical or mental performance.

The Trial Secretary is not responsible for emails not received. If you have not received a response to an email after 48 hours, please call the Trial Secretary by telephone.
Entry fees will not be refunded in the event that a dog is absent,
disqualified, excused, or barred from competition by action of the Trial
Committee.
Entry fees will not be refunded if the trials cannot be opened or completed
by reason of extreme weather, riots, civil disturbance, fire, an act of God,
public emergency, an act of a public enemy, or any other cause beyond
the control of the organizing committee.
Entries must be made on Official AKC Entry Forms or copies and must
include the signed Agreement Rules and Jump Height when required.
Junior Handlers must complete the back of the entry form. Please include
only AKC titles on your entries.
No entry shall be made and no entry shall be accepted which specifies any
condition as to its acceptance. Entries will not be accepted without fees or
signatures. No telephone, faxed or unsigned entries can be accepted and

Owners are responsible for errors in making out entry forms, whoever may

Errors in entries made by the exhibitor cannot be corrected after the
closing date. No refunds for duplicate entries. Post Dated and Returned
checks do not constitute a valid entry fee. There is a $30 returned check
fee.
Since bitches in season are not allowed to compete in AKC Obedience/
Rally Trials, the club will refund all but $5.00 for bitches unable to compete
for that reason. The Trial Secretary must receive a veterinarian’s written
notification of such a claim before the first trial date.
Dogs under 6 months of age are not permitted on the show grounds of AKC Trials
The safety of the handlers and dogs is our primary concern. By entering these trials, exhibitor acknowledges that they are familiar with the rules and regulations for this sport.
SHOES worn by the handler must be closed toed. Handlers may not compete in bare feet. NO flip-flops or open toed shoes permitted.
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 unnecessary disturbances or repeatedly engage in unsafe
or disruptive behavior may, at the discretion of the Trial Committee, be
asked to leave the trial site. In such case, no refund of any fees paid will
be made.
All dogs must be on lead or crated at all times except when in the ring.
We have designated crating areas. NO ex-pens allowed.
All ‘warm ups” MUST be done ON LEAD. That means the lead is
attached to the dog’s collar and the handler is holding the lead.
Exhibitors are responsible for cleaning up after their dogs at show site
and all hotel, motel, and campgrounds where they are staying while competing in these trials.
Exhibitors are responsible for being at the ring gate when it is their turn
to run. The judge need not wait for any dog holding up a class. K-9 Obedience Club of Jacksonville, Inc. has no obligation or responsibility
for providing service through a public address system or steward for the purpose of calling or locating dogs that are not brought to the ring when required.
Exhibitors should follow their veterinarians’ recommendation to assure
their dogs are free of internal and external parasites, any communicable diseases, and have appropriate vaccinations. State of Florida requires proof of Rabies vaccination if requested.
K-9 Obedience Club of Jacksonville, Inc. , their Board, Members, and event volunteers will not be liable for any loss or injury which may be sustained through disappearance, loss, theft, communicable disease, parasites, injury and/or death of dogs entered in this event.
