Inland Valley
Retriever Club

There will be 1st, 2nd and 3rd place awarded for both the junior and open series. ​

​

Rules: 

Limit 2 dogs per handler (Must own the dog you are entering)​

​

Stakes:

​

1. Junior Stake: A dog may be restrained at the line and must return to the line but need not deliver to hand.

2. Open Stake: All dogs that have passed an AKC Senior Test, AKC Master Test, HRCSeasoned Test, and/or an HRC Finished Test are considered Open dogs forpurposes of Super Singles. Open dogs must be steady at the line with no restraint.

 

 

• You can talk to your dog if needed to encourage steadiness.

• Each dog will get six single marks given time permits (judges discretion) (three land, three water). Dogs will be graded on their marking ability and style. Scores will be posted after each series. Scoring criteria can be found below. No electric collars allowed unless you would like to run “out of contention”.

 

We will also be having a delicious BBQ and the event. All proceeds will be used to fund future Club events and purchase equipment.
