Handler or by the Junior Handler's father, mother, brother, sister, uncle, aunt, grandfather or

disqualified by a Breed Judge or by a Bench Show Committee may still be handled in Junior

Showmanship if eligible to compete in Obedience Trials. A dog that has been rejected, dismissed,

Herding – Allowing Juniors to Handle a Dog in a

Lower Level Class

The Board VOTED to approve changes to Chapter 4, Sections 1 and 4, of the

Herding Regulations, to allow juniors to handle a dog in a lower level herding

class even if the dog has acquired a qualifying score at a higher level. In that

case the dog would not be eligible for High in Trial or Reserve High in Trial. This

change is an effort to promote junior participation in the herding program.

COVID 19 PRECAUTIONS

The ACDCA will have the run of the Tehama Fairgrounds during our

National Specialty.

As a relatively small National Specialty, having the run of the grounds will

allow us to spread out.

We will follow state, local, AKC and facility guidelines that apply to our

event site. These may include:

• Practicing social distancing consistent with guidelines in effect at the time of the event.

• Holding events out-of-doors or in large buildings with open doors whenever possible.

• Spacing out seating and grooming areas and prohibiting forced air blowers indoors.

• Enlarging our rings to accommodate social distancing.

• Requiring face coverings/masks when in proximity to others.

• Providing face coverings/masks for officials, judges, and volunteers.

• Encouraging frequent hand washing and providing hand sanitizer

• Having disinfecting spray at the events and in bathroom facilities for high touch surfaces. Disinfecting surfaces in common use areas often

• Encouraging “virtual” greetings and discouraging unnecessary physical contact.

• Recommending that attendees avoid touching dogs that are not their responsibility.

• Minimizing common use items unless disinfected or hand covering are provided.

Upon entry, the Tehama Fairgrounds (30th DAA) will

require attendees to sign a COVID19 waiver

Please be supportive of safety efforts!

AND…please be kind!

Thank you in advance!
