Novice Handler Division. Handlers would like to have the option of staying in Novice longer than our current rules allow. Number of Sanctioned Trials per day allowed. It is being discussed that clubs are increasing the number of trials per day and we need to write the rules out to spell out how many trials in a day legally can be held. The BOD gets a number of letters of confusion regarding this rule.
Some clubs think they are limited to only the awards stated in the premium.
This rule was not intended to mean that. It was intended that the ribbons and prizes that were listed in the premium would be awarded and if host clubs want to give out more awards than is listed they may do so. Wondering if we should try to clarify this rule or just delete it. This year the contestants positions on the Stockdog Committee are up. Those members interested in being on the SDC please send your resume into Jo Kimes before the Nationals.
