NO ENTRY WILL BE ACCEPTED WITHOUT PAYMENT IN FULL. Tendering of an NSF cheque in payment of entry fees will be considered non-payment of entry fees and is an offence punishable by CKC disciplinary action and cancellation of awards. The owner of a dog entered in this Trial is entirely responsible for any error in the entering of his dog, regardless of how, or by whom the entry was made.
ROSETTES & PRIZES: As this is a Sanction Match, meaning no official titles can be awarded, those dogs earning qualifying scores will receive a fun APWDC club decal indicating their successful location of the hide(s).

BITCHES IN SEASON: Bitches in season shall not be eligible to enter the test. Entry fees will be refunded when a bitch entered in Scent Detection comes into season after the close of entries if a Veterinarian’s Certificate (certifying that the bitch was in season within the 10-day period preceding the trial) is delivered to the Show Secretary before the starting date and the time of the trial.

HANDLERS WITH MULTIPLE DOGS: Handlers with multiple dogs will not be permitted to enter more than one dog in the same class / components. I.e.: Two novice dogs handled by the same person cannot be entered in the same Novice components at the same trial. The handler may enter one dog in Instinct, and one dog in Novice as an alternative.
TEST SITE: No indoor kenneling. These tests will be run rain or shine. All dogs must be under control, on a leash except during the test (where off leash searches are permitted). NO non-trial odor is permitted on the trial grounds. No warm up area will be offered.
