Please take time to read through the requirements and procedures in advance before the test date. 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". 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. Please have your dogs aired and ready to go before it's your turn to be called to the holding blind. All dogs must be kept on lead when not running and must be kept back by the vehicles where they cannot see any of the tests being run.

Start Time for all Stakes: 8 am - Check-in at 7:15 am to 7:30 am.  Signs posted. Test dog at 7:45 am. Then short discussion with the Judges. We have two sets of judges for the WDX.  The WDX water test will start about 9 am. If you pass the WDX land, the judges will give you the sheet to take to the WDX water to give to the Marshal there. Go immediately after you run the WDX land to the water test. (some of you will will need to go to another stake to run land first which is ok then come back for your water WDX test).  

Fees: ACC Members  $55 for each stake,  Non-Members $65  (special rules for non-members, view on ACC website and WD info). You must be approved as a member by the entry deadline to use the member fee. Non-Members can run each dog in only one stake - the WD, X or Q. They would sign an ACC membership application that day (if not before). You have 30 days only to submit your membership application with fee for ACC Board approval. If approved as a member, you would then receive your passing certificate from the ACC WD Program Director. A Non-Member can run one time only as a non-member. See the Special rules for Non-Contention dogs with prior titles   Pre-Entry Only   Owner of the dog entered must be an ACC member by Entry Deadline to use the member fee.

 **Note: If you are entering the same dog in multiple stakes, you must use a separate entry form for each stake

Running Order: a Draw and Running Order will be posted on this website on or before August 16.

**Note - Bitches in season cannot run and are not to be aired on the grounds of tests or parking lot areas.  Refunds are available. See the instructions in the WD Rules. Please notify us in writing in advance if you need to cancel an entry.

Results and Photos: Reports and group photos will be published in the ACC Bulletin and on the this show website.

What to Bring:  Water for you and your dogs, shade equipment, bug spray, lawn chair, whistle, flat buckle collar and leash for WD, rain gear and boots if needed, and your lunch.  Please pickup all trash and take it home with you.

Volunteers: needed for the following:  Marshals for each stake, person to bag birds for the judges, live-bird gunners, people to pop/throw the dead bird for each stake, equipment luggers, grounds person to oversee parking and post/remove the signs, someone to pickup lunches for the judges, and a test dog for each stake that isn't running.  Anyone shooting possibly should have a valid hunting license and orange to wear, will have to find out.  Email Jane Pappler to volunteer!

For all concerned - make sure your dog has had gun fire, bird boys in white coats, and is picking up ducks before the competition.  No smoking on the grounds.  All dogs must be on leash in parking area and when being aired.  No dogs permitted in the gallery or near the line except the competing dog. When dogs are running, please do not walk around in the gallery, avoid loud talking and do not wear white.  Any of these can be very distracting to the dogs and the contestants. Please drive slowly on the Farm, park only where designated and only air dogs where designated.
