the judging schedule listed in the premium list.
No loose dogs allowed on the grounds outside the judging areas.

it too dangerous to safely hold the event, entry fees will not be

the discretion of the Test Committee, be asked to leave the test site.
In such case, no refund of any fees paid will be made.
