Height Cards

AKC is now requiring that a copy of the dog’s height card be submitted with each entry for each trial. Please help make things go smoother by stapling a copy of the dog’s height card (the card only – not the entire letter from AKC) to the back of your entry when sending it to the trial secretary. We will have an AKC rep present at the trial in case anyone needs to have their dog measured for a permanent height card.

Any dogs without height cards will have to be measured by the judge or the rep before they can run at the trial.
