RULES

INDIVIDUAL SCURRIES AND THE MULTI CHALLENGE

2. The dog must stay behind the start line until the timekeeper gives the instruction to send the dog.
3. The handler must stay behind the start line at all times.
4. The stopwatch starts when the dog crosses the line and stops when the dog returns with the canvas dummy. The stop watch stops in between runs on the multiple pick-up events.
5. A maximum time limit is allowed per scurry.
6. Harsh handling of the dogs as judged by the timekeeper will render the competitor disqualified and the handler won't be allowed to run in any further scurries at the show.
7. All fouling by dogs must be cleaned up and disposed of.

Three scurries are running again the year, a single 50 yard seen retrieve, two 50 yard seen retrieves and a 3 dummy pick up of 2 seen and one blind, through jumps and weaves.

Returning again this year due to popular demand, is the dummy launcher retrieve. The one that goes bang!
