24K Diving Dogs Remembrance Splash 2020 (AR/HD Only)

Welcome to 24k Diving Dogs!!!!

Check in will begin at 8am Saturday and Sunday.

Saturday running order for Hydro-Dash and Air Retrieve will be A - Z

Sunday running order for Hydro-Dash and Air Retrieve will be Z - A

Please don't forget to email us all 3 waivers to destiny@24kretrievers.com 

Please when parking in our pasture IF your dogs are barkers can you please park closer to the pond vs. the fence.  My neighbors have a horse arena directly across from my pasture.  If someone is riding a horse in the arena and dogs start barking at the horse this could result in the horse getting spooked and throwing the rider.  This is a safety issue and I truly thank you all for the understanding and help with this.  

Unfortunately we will NOT have food available at this event.

You may drop your gear off on the fence line across from the kennels (you can NOT park there, drop off only!!!!), after doing so please drive between the house and the agility field and park in the pasture area near the pond.  I have posted a map of the parking, drop off and crating area on my 24k Retrievers Facebook page.  We will have folks available to ask if you have questions.  

You may set up crates and ez ups on the side of the pool. Please stagger your set ups keeping the 6’ social distancing guidelines. We need to have 6’ between each set up.  There will be marker flags for each available area for you to set up.  

Before Hydro Dash and Air Retrieve we will have a briefing that everyone must attend and this briefing will be posted with the running order.  Remember according to NADD rules you must check in/pay with administration 30 minutes prior to your scheduled splash time.

You will be required to sign a total of 3 waivers/liability release forms.  Once signed and checked in you will receive an armband.  You will not be allowed on the dock without an armband this goes for holders as well as throwers ANYONE on the DOCK must sign the waivers.  Please keep your armband for the entire event.

If you have a reactive dog and choose to participate in any Dock Diving activities here at 24k Diving Dogs you will be responsible for keeping your dog under your control at ALL times.  Feel free to use a basket muzzle if you like.  Keep ample space from all other dogs.  IF your dog lunges or causes any reactive incident you will be invited to leave and forfeit any or all monies due to 24k Diving Dogs or NADD.  We want all dogs to enjoy the sport of diving dogs however we must keep the sport safe for everyone and every dog. If you have a reactive dog take measures to keep your dog out of any incidents so that it can enjoy the sport as well.

Our weather is known to shift within minutes.  Generally, events will be held during light rain.  If there is lightning in the area everything will be cancelled or delayed.  All measures will be made to get all the splashes in. If we have poor weather, we may switch to the Cluster format… watch for announcements on the Facebook NADD Fan Page as well as check your email for any weather change announcements.

Please pick up ALL of your dog’s accidents anywhere on our property, failure to do so will result in you being asked to leave the grounds and forfeiting any monies owed 24k Diving Dogs and NADD. There will be poop buckets available for YOU to dispose of your dog’s poop.

Unless crated, dogs must be leashed at all times NO EXCEPTIONS!!!  Leashes cannot exceed 6’ in length.  Retractable leashes are absolutely prohibited.  Prong collars are allowed but must be removed before entering the dock.

Anyone who pushes or throws their dog into the pool or in any other way abuses their dog will be excluded from further participation andwill forfeit any splash or fees!

Absolutely NO dogs are allowed in the pond at any time or inside any of our training areas (agility ring, obedience ring, barn).

Preferred methods of payment are cash or check we do accept all major credit cards with a 3% convenience fee.

Places to stay – Please contact them directly for pet policies.  We are pretty close to equal distances to Bainbridge GA, Tallahassee FL, and Cairo GA (we are actually 18 miles south of Cairo) So in regards to where to stay…. There is not much in Cairo, however Bainbridge has a few restaurants, Home Depot, Walmart, Tractor Supply.  Tallahassee has everything!!!

We DO NOT offer RV parking. There are three RV parks listed below.  

Unfortunately, we cannot offer RV parking or hookups at our place.   Our entrance gate is very narrow and most RV’s and travel trailers cannot make it through.  Additionally, we are located on a clay road, which is not an issue for normal vehicles, however if it rains the road becomes too dangerous for large recreational vehicles to drive on.   We have listed a few RV parks that can accommodate all sizes of recreational vehicles and travel trailers below.
