Frequently Asked Questions:

May I participate as a Trainer/Exhibitor at the show and still attend the clinic?
Yes!

How will In-Ring Learner Judging be handled if I am also showing?
A Steward will oversee your in-ring Learner Judging experience and monitor your interaction with the Judge.

What if I am competing in classes during the Wednesday or Thursday performance sessions?
The Friday performance sessions may be used as “make up” sessions to accommodate individuals who are competing so that they meet the Learner Judging requirements.
