ENTRY ELIGIBILITY:

Dogs must be permanently registered with the UKC, have a Temporary Listing (TL) number or have a Limited Privilege (LP) listing number prior to the closing date.

Any dog having a title in another registry must show in the “B” class at that level. Judges & trainers must also show in the “B” class.

Novice C is for dogs that have a UCD but do not have a UCDX qualifying score.

Entrants may advance to the next class on the next day if their title is completed & changes have been made with the trial secretary.

Mixed breed dogs are welcome at UKC Obedience events.

PLEASE NOTE: Check in 30 minutes before trial so we can fill any day-of-show entries

· Dogs must be ready for judging

· No unentered dogs allowed, due to limited space for crating, and no dogs will be allowed to remain on the grounds overnight.
