All entries must be on official AKC entry forms. Entries will be returned if they are illegible, incomplete, are submitted with incorrect fees, or are photocopied without the reverse side instructions and
agreement included. Checks returned for insufficient fees will render the entry invalid; acceptance
of such an entry will only be made if the full fees, plus a $25 administrative fee, are paid via cash,
certified check or money order & received prior to the start of judging. Express deliveries must include signature waiver permitting them to be left at the Secretary’s address without receipt signature.
Entries received without signature release will be refused.
Refunds: Entry fees will not be refunded in the event of errors or cancellation of entries after the
published closing date; in the event that a dog is absent, disqualified, excused by the veterinarian
or judge, or barred from competition by the Show Committee; or in the event that extreme weather
conditions, civil disturbances, or other acts beyond the control of the Show Committee make it impossible to open or complete the show/trial. Refunds for bitches in season in obedience, rally and

secretary prior to the start of judging for the day.

Entry Acknowledgements: To ensure the receipt of your entries, it is suggested that you include
a valid email address which you regularly check on your entry form, as that will allow the Secretary
to send an email receipt of entry. If you do not have email, send a self-addressed, stamped postcard
or envelope with your entry, which the Secretary will return upon entry receipt. Judging programs
and entry confirmations will be emailed to each exhibitor as soon as possible after the closing date.

owner’s records, have completed the requirements for a championship after the closing of entries

called. The club, judges, stewards and secretary have no obligation or responsibility to announce for or locate
dogs that are not at ringside when required.
LIABILITY: 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 Show Committee, be asked to leave the show site.
In such cases, no refund of any fees paid will be made. The clubs, hotel, CAPER LLC, and any of their agents

environment, distress or harm’s way (for example: left unattended on a grooming table in a noose not attached
to a safety release clip; left in a vehicle without proper ventilation) will be removed to safety. Exposing a dog
to an unsafe environment, distress or harm’s way is considered mistreatment. All persons attending this show
hereby waive any claim for damages against the host clubs and hotel in the event a motor vehicle has to be
entered to rescue a dog from overheating or improperly vented conditions.

Guidelines and Rules
All Norwegian Elkhounds competing in the Standard agility classes, including all jump heights, shall be eligible
for the NEAA Agility High In Trial Award. The award shall be based on the qualifying course run results from
only the Standard agility classes. A dog must have a Standard class qualifying score to be eligible for the
NEAA Agility High In Trial Award.
Order of consideration for NEAA Agility High In Trial Award:
1. Dog/handler team(s) with a double qualify* (2Q’s)
2. Dog/handler team(s) with a Standard qualifying score of 100
3. Dog/handler team(s) with a Standard qualifying score of less than 100
*qualifying score at the same trial in both the Standard class and the Jumpers with Weaves class (double Q)
At the end of the agility trial, first to be considered for NEAA Agility High In Trial shall be a dog/handler team(s)
with a double qualify. A dog with a double Q shall be weighted more than a dog with a single Standard qualifying score. If none, a dog/handler team(s) with a perfect Standard qualifying score of 100 shall be considered
next. If none, a dog/handler team(s) with a Standard qualifying score of less than 100 shall be considered.
Qualifying scores for AKC Standard and Jumpers With Weaves agility classes: Novice A&B, Open, and Excellent – 100 to 85 minimum; Masters – 100 minimum.
Within each Standard agility class, bonus points shall be awarded based on the level of difficulty. In all team
situations, the resulting highest score wins NEAA Agility High In Trial.
Level of Difficulty Bonus Points:
30 points – Master/Excellent Qualifying Score
25 points – Master/Excellent Preferred Qualifying Score
20 points – Open Qualifying Score
15 points – Open Preferred Qualifying Score
10 points – Novice Qualifying Score
05 points – Novice Preferred Qualifying Score
A scoring record for the NEAA Agility High In Trial Award shall be kept at the trial indicating the armband number of each competing dog, the dog’s call name, Standard class level, Standard course time in seconds (SCT),
actual Standard course running time in seconds (rounded down) for each competing dog, qualifying score in
a Standard class, notation if a double Q was earned by a competing dog, and the final calculated score for
NEAA Agility High In Trial. For example, if the SCT is 65 seconds and a dog runs the Standard course in 60.3
seconds, the difference would round down to 5 seconds.

• Armband Number
• Call Name of Dog
• Standard Course Time
• Actual Standard Course Time of Dog
• Qualifying Standard Score
• Standard Class Level
• Bonus Points
• Double Qualify (2Q’s)
• Calculated Score for HIT
The score calculation for the NEAA Agility High In Trial Award shall be done for all competing dogs using
qualifying scores in all of the agility classes and jump heights. To calculate the score, add the dog’s Standard
qualifying score, the difference in the Standard course time and a dog’s actual Standard course running time,
and the level of difficulty bonus points.
