A dog will be allowed to be shown at the trial where the handler applies for an ASCA tracking number. The handler will be issued a receipt by the Registration table valid for 60 days to allow the Business Office time to issue the tracking number. Photo copies or originals of registration or tracking number papers must be presented to the Registration table upon request when entering ASCA sanctioned obedience trials. Please visit WWW.ASCA.org for information and forms. Tracking number application forms are also available at the Registration table.

Please have proof of Rabies inoculation available.

After the pre-entry deadline, all obedience entries will receive notification by postcard of the approximate time their classes will start. Day of show entries may require start times to be moved ahead.
