www.amchessieclub.org. Also download guidelines for Judges & Handlers and Suggested Line Procedures. Read through these rules before the day of the test. The judges will go over the basic rules with everyone quickly before the start of the stake and you can ask a few questions then if needed. Email or call Jane Pappler [email protected] 609-859-3570 ahead of time if you need help understanding any of the procedures. Take time to read through the requirements and procedures in advance of the tests. This will help you and your dog to be successful and not fail due to handler error. One important rule to remember is you cannot send your dog until you hear the Judge call your number.
