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

Welcome to Courteous Canine Diving Dogs

 

Please read before signing up!

 

We look forward to having you for our Courteous Canine Diving Dogs Event! 

 

This is a jump card event so there is no fixed running order, this is first come first serve for regular splashes and we will be using cards. When you check in at 7:30 am please pay and your jump cards for the entire event will be given to you so you can give them to the running order board stewards.

 

They will write a list of the dogs that are present on the board and this becomes our running order. They will call out dog names to let you know when your turn is coming up. The board stewards will keep all of your cards for the entire event. Hydro Dash and Air Retrieve do not have jump cards. 

 

Please expect to stay the entire day, it is highly unlikely that you will be able to jump all your jumps in just a few hours. Please plan on spending your day with us! We are happy to have you! 

 

Gates open at 7 am both days! :)
