News and Features

10th Anniversary November Cluster Quiz
2008 is the 10th anniversary of the November Cluster, the largest AKC trial in the country. In honor this special event, PawPrint Trials will be donating a $25 gift certificate each month, to be used for that trial.   Be the first to email me the correct answer to the monthly question, and you will win! (sorry but members of the original trial are not eligible nor may you win multiple times)

Question for January:  What color was the original premium? Yes, back in the day, we actually mailed premiums to everyone!  The winner for January is Pat McKinney. The original color was yellow.

Question for February: Who were the original 3 clubs that hosted the first November cluster?  The winner is Nancy Bishop. The clubs were Springfield Kennel Club, Bershire Belgian Tervuren Club and Mayflower Pembroke Welsh Corgi Club.

Question for March: What was the entry fee for the first entry?   The winner is Pam Demetrion. The entry fee for the first entry was $20.

Question for April: How many rings did we have at the first cluster ?  The winner is Janet Induni. There were 2 rings at the first cluster. It was held at the Big E in the Colesium.

Question for May: What was the total entry limit for the first cluster?  Carolyn Hess is the winner with 175 Novice runs and 175 Open/Ex runs. Back in the day, the judge limit was 175. Now it is 330 per judge!
 

Jump Height cards
The Regulations for Agility Trials states in Chapter 2, Section 4, "All dogs competing in agility must present a valid official Jump Height Card".  
This applies to everyone even if you have sent in cards previously. One jump height card MUST accompany each entry for each trial.
If the Jump card is not sent in with the entry, the exhibitor will need to stand in line the morning of the trial and show their card prior to picking up their armband. Trial mornings are very busy for all of us. Don't miss your run because you waited to show your card.

Volunteer Stickers!! Thanks for the helpful input from exhibitors. If your entry does not make it into a trial, or you pull from a trial, your entry and sticker will be filed alphabetically in a Volunteer box.  You may pick up your un-used sticker at another show.  The Volunteer box will be near the armband boxes and will be self serve.
