Effective January 1, 2001 all dogs competing in Agility will be required to
present an official AKC Jump Height Card prior to running in Agility trials.
With the end of the year fast approaching, following is an addendum to the
General Jump Height Card Policy.
Notice of Jump Height Policy
Addendum to General Policy
effective January 1, 2001
All dogs competing in AKC Agility must present an official AKC Jump Height
Card prior to running in any class. This can be accomplished by:
by presenting the official Jump Height Card at the time of check-in,
or
if allowed by the club, provide the Trial Secretary with a photo copy
of the official Jump Height Card with the entry form.
Each club should specify in their premium list whether they will accept a
photo copy of the Jump Height Card to be sent in with an entry form.
Any dogs that have not been officially measured for a Jump Height Card may
still compete; however, they must be measured by the Judge of record prior
to running at each trial.
The Judge's measurement will be valid for this trial (or weekend)
only.
For the Judge's planning purposes, the Trial Secretary should provide
the Judge with a list of dogs that will require measuring.
If a measurement is necessary, it is the exhibitor's responsibility to
have their dog(s) measured prior to running.
All exhibitors should carry the original AKC official Jump Height Card
with them to each trial, in order to present the card upon request.
Misrepresentation of a dog, including altering information on a Jump
Height Card, is grounds for misconduct.
