Event Notes
- A NADD Registration Number is required to enter, purchase here for $35.00.
- Splashes include up to three minutes on the dock for one optional practice jump and two judged jumps. You must inform the judge prior to your jump if you want it to be considered a "practice jump".
- This event is an Open Splash event. This is done at Portable Dock trials and other shows that have timing conflicts with other dog events. The time for each splash for the day will be set such as 9am for example for all the splashes. You have between the posted start time and end time (either before AR starts or the end of the last day, usually 3pm) to complete your splashes for the day. When you check in you will be handed “Splash Cards” for each splash that you pay for. When you are ready to jump during the day, hand a splash card to the wrangler to get put into the running order. It is the handler's responsibility to be sure to be present it before their turn to jump. Please be aware that at many events, the running order board fills very quickly and early in the day.
- Please Note: You must pay for all pre registered splashes at time of check-in. Any splashes not paid for will be put back into the event's on-site registration availability list and result in a no-show. If you are registering multiple dogs there will be a no-show for each dog. You are responsible for all pre-registered splashes.
- Each distance jumping Splash allows 2 judged jumps, back to back. The longest jump of them will be your Qualifying Score.
- You can earn a Diving Dog Title at this event. You must have five Qualifying Scores within a Division. NADD titles are recognized by the AKC and CKC through their recognition programs. View their applications here (AKC) and here (CKC).
- Please read the official NADD Rules before you attend the Trial.
Try-its at this event
- Try-its will be allowed as space permits and during Splashes if no competitors are waiting to jump. Try-its cost $10.00.

Other Notes
Come and enjoy a wonderful weekend with amazing dogs and their people. We always welcome Try-It's! They cost only $10 and you'll always have help and instruction. Your friends and family are welcome to spectate too - the more the merrier!
This will possibly be our SECOND Open Splash card event! We're going to limit each hour to 17-20 dogs to make sure we get through all of them in that hour. So it's first come first serve! The earlier you get there, the more likely you'll get your dog(s) on the board where you want to. It just will depend on how the first Card event goes in June.
We have an amazing event photographer. Please see Jill Gibbs near Registration to sign up for low cost, beautiful pictures of your dog(s) at this event.
Please always keep your dog(s) on no more than a 6' leash and NO Flexi leashes please. Friday and Monday evenings begin at 5pm Saturday and Sunday first splashes are at 8:30. Registration opens 30 minutes before start times and the pool opens 1 hour ahead of the start times to get your dog wet or practice jump. Always be polite and courteous, max three mins for practice.
Enter through Mountain West Storage. You will receive a gate code via email once pre-registration closes.
