Welcome to PawPrint Trials

WOOHOO  New England did it again!   PawPrint Trials held the 4 largest AKC shows in the country in 2007!  Out of the 25 largest shows in the country, PawPrint Trials secretaried 8 out of the 25.  Thanks to the clubs who worked so hard to put on the shows. Thanks to Max200 who supplied the equipment for the largest shows and a huge thanks to exhibitors that made it all happen.

The Regulations for Agility Trials states in Chapter 2, Section 4,
"All dogs competing in agility must present a valid official Jump Height Card".  
This applies to everyone even if you have sent in cards previously. One jump height card MUST accompany each entry for each trial.
If the Jump card is not sent in with the entry, the exhibitor will need to stand in line the morning of the trial and show their card prior to picking up their armband. Trial mornings are very busy for all of us. Don't miss your run because you waited to show your card.

Volunteer Stickers!! Thanks for the helpful input from exhibitors. If your entry does not make it into a trial, or you pull from a trial, your entry and sticker will be filed alphabetically in a Volunteer box.  You may pick up your un-used sticker at another show.  The Volunteer box will be near the armband boxes and will be self serve.
