Rules
The rules for puppy, veteran and gundog sweeps have not changed.
ALL puppy and veteran sweepstakes entries must include a copy of the current registration dated before the closing date of the National. Registrations must be sent separately to: GR********@***il.com by the closing date of the National. Receipt of the registration will be confirmed by return email.
Those entries without prior submission of the registration dated before the closing date of the National, may bring a copy with them to pick up their armband.
Ring stewards will not ‘police’ any entry before, during or following sweepstakes. Any protests will be directed to the armband table to talk with a board member (judging will not be delayed due to protests).
If a handler who is not eligible handles a dog that wins a placement, that placement will be rescinded.
