WAIT LIST
Saguaro Scramblers is offering a Wait List to fill openings created by withdrawn entries after the
trials closing date. A Maximum of 20 entries will be placed on the club’s wait list. All entries,
including wait listed entries, must be received by the Trial Secretary prior to Noon February 20,
2015. Any entries withdrawn that are received by 6pm February 25th, 2015 will be replaced by a
wait listed entry if any are available. If a withdrawn entry is replaced by a wait listed entry, a full
refund will be issued for the withdrawn entry. Any wait listed entry that does not move off the
wait list into the trial by 6pm February 27, 2015 will receive a full refund.
Simplified Jump Height Card Process
When filling out the entry form, there is a new section at the top of the form
for exhibitors to designate whether your dog has a valid jump height card or
if your dog needs to be measured. Please check the appropriate box so that
the Trial Secretary knows whether to include your dog on the Dogs To Be
Measured List. It is no longer required that you submit a copy of your dog's
jump height card with your entry form or show it during day of show checkin.
How do I know if I have a valid jump height card?
If your dog is under the age of two years as of the trial's date: One (1)
temporary measurement is required. Once measured, be sure to retain the
Agility Measurement Form yellow copy, other wise your dog needs to be
measured. If your dog turns two years of age or is older as of the trial's date,
your temporary measurement expires on their 2nd birthday and your dog
needs to be measured.
If your dog is the age of two years or older as of the trial's date: A
minimum of two (2) permanent measurements are required. If both
permanent measurements place your dog into the same jump height class, the
AKC office will issue you a permanent card. If not, then a third measurement
is required to determine the dog's jump height class. Until such time that you
have received all required measurements for a permanent jump height card,
check the "My dog needs to be measured" box. Upon arrival at the trial, you
must check to see if there is a Volunteer Measuring Official and/or an Agility
Field Rep. present to perform official measurements. If not, and you posses a
yellow copy of the Agility Measurement Form from a previous measurement,
then your armband may be picked up during Check-In in lieu of being
measured by the judge of record.
Exception to the 2 permanent measurement requirement: If your dog
measures over 22 inches at the withers, you have the option of selecting the
"Over 22" Request Perm" box at the bottom of the Agility Measurement
Form to receive a permanent jump height card from AKC after a single
measurement. If you do so, please also sign below the checkbox. By doing
so, you are giving up your right to have a 2nd measurement performed on
your dog in the future; however, you are not giving up your right to have the
challenge measurement process performed in the future.
What if my dog measures into a different jump height then what he is
entered?
If your dog has been measured by an AKC Field Representative or Volunteer
Measuring Official (VMO) and is now eligible to jump in a lower height
class, the measurement is effective immediately including any runs (regular
or preferred class) which have not yet occurred on the same day that the
measurement is recorded. This immediate action does not apply to
measurements taken as part of completing the challenge measurement
process. Dogs who measure into a higher jump height have always been
required to be moved immediately.
May I challenge my dog's jump height card measurement?
Yes, each dog may go through the challenge process once after the age of
two (2) years, if requested by the owner. (Any dogs under the age of two (2)
years are also eligible for a challenge measurement.)
What is the jump height card challenge process?
The jump height card challenge process replicates the original measurement
steps. A minimum of two (2) challenge measurements are required. If both
challenge measurements place your dog into the same jump height class, then
you will be issued a new permanent card from the AKC office. If the two
challenge measurements place the dog in different jump height classes, then
a third challenge measurement is required to determine the dog's jump height
class. When the 2nd or 3rd measurement is completed in the challenge
measurement process, the new measurement is effective immediately.
It is the sole responsibility of the exhibitor to have their original, official
jump height card or temporary jump height form at each trial to present
upon request. Additionally, if a measurement is necessary, it is the
exhibitor's responsibility to have their dog measured prior to running.
