Hi all,
I have only read the ANKCwebsite and Retrieving rules and I can't find anything in relation to vests, boots bandages or the like. However your dog must pass vetting and one could argue that the need for a bandage suggest the dogs is not fit to run. Cotton wool in the ears
That has to make hearing commands difficult.
Alan I always thought that the various rules direct the word exhibition towards the show ring not trialing. I know normally our rules are written clearly and concisley
but maybe this is the one time that there is some discretion for common sense. At the end of the day we are meant to be part of a democracy where the majority rules. I am interested to know what does the majority think, despite various airy fairy rule interpretations. Let dogs run in vest or not?
Regards,
Gareth
