Entry forms
Note that the only requests for a particular flight that will be honored are those which are required by AKC rules (eg. a judge which trained your dog, co-owned a dog, etc.). Specifically, requests due to personal reasons will be ignored. Requests for multiple handlers to be placed in the same flight (randomly of course) due to logistics reasons (eg. dogs on same truck) will be honored if possible. Please indicate these situations by listing the person driving the vehicle as the first handler when entering on Entry Express.

Entry fees are $50 for Junior, $60 for Senior, & $70 for Master.
