AKC JUMP HEIGHT CARDS
All dogs competing in agility must possess an official AKC Jump Height Card. An official
AKC Jump Height Card is defined as either a permanent jump height card, a valid
temporary jump height form, copies of two different measuring forms (placing the dog in
the same height class) dated on or after the dog’s second birthday, or copies of three
different measuring forms (two of which place the dog in the same height class) on or after
the dog’s second birthday. All dogs (except those jumping 24” or 26”) without jump height
cards/forms must be measured/wicketed by the Judge of Record PRIOR to running in
their class; this measurement will be valid for the weekend of trials only. If a Volunteer
Measuring Official (VMO) or an Agility Field Rep is present, all dogs without a valid jump
height card/form must be measured at some time during the trial. If the dog cannot be
measured by the VMO prior to running, it must be measured by the judge before its first
run. You are not required to show your height card or send a copy with your entry.
You are required to mark on your entry form your dog’s height card status.
It is the exhibitor’s responsibility to request measurement.

NOTICE TO EXHIBITORS
SAFETY, BEHAVIOR and LIABILITY
 The safety of the dogs is our primary concern. By entering this trial, exhibitors acknowledge
that they are familiar with the rules and regulations of this sport, and that their dogs are
familiar with and able to perform all obstacles safely.
 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 an unnecessary
disturbance or repeatedly engage in unsafe or disruptive behavior may, at the discretion of
the event committee, be asked to leave the show site. In such case, no refund of any fees
paid will be made.
 The Springfield MO Dog Training Club and its agents, employees, etc., will assume no
responsibilities for any loss, damage or injury sustained by exhibitors or handlers, or to any of
their dogs or property and further assumes no responsibility for injury to children.
 The Springfield MO Dog Training Club reserves the right to decline entries for cause and may
remove any dog on account of aggression. No one shall have any recourse or claim against
the Springfield MO Dog Training Club or any official thereof.

REFUNDS

beyond the control of the organizing committee.
 FOOD: A full service food concession is not available on the site. There are various restaurants

 Bitches in season are not permitted to compete in Agility Trials. As such the club will
refund all but $5 per day of the entry fee paid for bitches unable to compete for this
reason. The Trial Secretary must receive written notification of such a claim for refund by
letter hand-delivered, e-mailed, or postmarked before the trial commences, and a

the trial site at this time. There is ample space for daytime RV parking. See hotel list below for

jump height card. Otherwise, they must be available for measuring prior to the start of their
class if a VMO or AKC Field Rep is available to measure dogs. All dogs not needed for
further judging will be excused.
 Judges are not required to wait for dogs. The Exhibitor of each dog is solely responsible
