The registration number to be used should be the dog's regular registration number. In the case of dogs which have more than one registration number, the owner must choose one and use it consistently for AHBA purposes. Owners of unregistered dogs may apply to the AHBA for a tracking number to be used in place of a registration number. The tracking number is only for dogs which are not otherwise registered. The Request for Tracking Number form may be obtained from Carol Lorenzon ([email protected]) The completed form is sent to Siouxsan Eisen at the address on the form, and the owner will be sent a tracking number to use for entering AHBA events. In addition to using a consistent registration or tracking number, owners must use one consistent name when entering a dog. After June 1, 2010, any incomplete recording form received by the AHBA will not be processed. LAST BUT NOT LEAST: COURTESY RULES Poop & Scoop courtesy rules apply. Lots of dogs and people frequent Dog Tale Ranch; we need to leave it as we find it. If you are in the yard, on the way to the trial area, around the arenas or in the arenas, please pick up after your dogs. If you are in a field or wildlife area, use your judgment – but if in doubt ... pick it up. There will be garbage pails around and pick-up bags for those who have forgotten them. Leashes. Dogs must be on leash when in the trialing or yard areas and in proximity of stock or guardian dogs. This is a working ranch and the jobs of the “hands” must be respected.
