W AIT LIS T F OR WITHDR AWN EN TRIES AF TER THE CLOS ING DATE/ TIM E
Houston Kennel Club is offering a Wait List to fill openings created by withdrawn entries after the trial’s closing date/time. A maximum of 50
entries will be placed on the club’s wait list. All entries, including wait listed entries, must be received by the Trial Secretary prior to
6PM(PST) July 2, 2014. Any entries withdrawn that are received by 6PM (PST) July 14, 2014 will be replaced by a wait listed entry if any
are available. If a withdrawn entry is replaced by a wait listed entry, a full refund will be issued for the withdrawn entry. Any wait listed
entry that does not move off the wait list into the trial by 6PM (PT) July 14, 2014 will receive a full refund.
To help resolve the confusion that has been occurred over the years with Excellent A and Excellent B classes, which
are two distinctly different classes, we are renaming them to match the names of the titles that are earned from those
two, diffe rent classes. The requirements to qualify are diffe rent in each of these classes as is the title earned when
they complete the title requirements. In an effort to eliminate this confusion, as of January 1, 2013 the name of the Excellent A class
will change to "Excellent" and the name of the Excellent B class will change to "Master".
Please note, only the name is changing. The class themselves and the titles earned remain the same.
The changes will be as follows:
Excellent A will change to Excellent
Excellent A Preferred will change to Excellent Preferred
Excellent B will change to Master
Excellent B Preferred will change to Master Preferred
Prizes and Awards:
Classes will have rosettes awarded to the 1st through 4th place in each jump height. Dogs must qualify to receive placement rosettes.
Qualifying ribbons will be awarded to all dogs receiving qualifying scores
