2009 USBCHA NATIONAL SHEEPDOG FINALS ENTRY FORM
KLAMATH FALL, OR.  SEPT. 22 THRU 27

Entries are due on August 1, 2009 (no entries postmarked after that date will be accepted) and no refunds or filling of vacancies after September 1. 

  • Please fill out questionnaire form.  The Purpose of these questions is to give some “personal” data that the announcer can use to familiarize the handlers to the spectators. 

  • Anyone may send their entry for the National to the HA Secretary, who will accept the top 150- point earning dogs who enter.  In the event of a tie, all dogs tied at the 150 dog level will be accepted.  If entry is not accepted fees will be returned. Entry deposit -  Sept. 3th,.  Should you enter a dog which may not make the 150 cut off points please send a separate check. 

  • Must be a 2009 paid member of ABCA, telephone #601-928-7551, email abca@datasync.com.

  • Eye exams:    Dogs entered in the Nursery or Open Trials take precedence over other dogs, but all are welcome as time permits. Litters and puppies are encouraged. All dogs must be examined by a certified Diplomat of the College of Veterinary Ophthalmologists (DACVO) either before participating in a Finals Trial or at the eye clinic during the Finals.  Even dogs who have DNA clearance for CEA must be examined, since the exam also screens for conditions other than CEA. The certificate that is issued will be good for 25 months from the date of the examination. The permission slip signed by the competitor to allow information on CEA & PRA to be sent to the USBCHA secretary will suffice for 25 months. 

  • Remember to send copy of registration papers.
