CCA #1, #2, #3

time is approximate.

GRCA is going to hold three (3) CCA divisions (flights) all on MONDAY, OCTOBER 5 at Island Grove Regional Park in Greeley. Due to the venue issues and distance limitations for the Hunt Test/WC-WCX tests, we are unable to support a CCA at the field events.

CCA PARTICIPATION – UPDATED GUIDELINES

In keeping with the purposes of the CCA program, and to provide Golden Retrievers that have not previously earned a CCA title and are owned by a GRCA member with improved opportunities for evaluation at Regional and National Specialties, the following policies will be added to the CCA Program Guidelines and are in effect for this show:

Priority Entry: CCA events held in conjunction with a GRCA Regional or National Specialty shall give priority entry, via random draw, to Golden Retrievers that have not previously earned a CCA title and are owned by a GRCA member.

Mandatory Presence: The owner, co-owner and/or breeder of the dog must be present in the ring during the evaluation.

Assistance: A runner will be provided by the host club if physical assistance is required during the evaluation.

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If a handler who is not eligible handles a dog that wins a placement, that placement will be rescinded.
