A DRAWING FOR PARTICIPANTS

will be held on August 12, 2010 at 7:00 p.m. at Canyon

Creek Farm, 4867 Everson-Goshen Rd., Bellingham, to determine which entries will participate in

the test.

The drawing will be random among those entries received, except that preference will

be given to those dogs which have not previously earned a VST title.

All persons submitting

entries are invited to attend the drawing.

When the advertised limit has been drawn, an

ALTERNATE LIST

will be drawn subject to the

same preferences set forth above.

The alternates will be advised of their positions on the

alternate list and given an opportunity to be at the test site in case of absent dogs.

Alternate

entry fees will be refunded unless the alternate actually participates in the test.

Entry fees will

also be refunded to any confirmed entry that does not participate in the test, provided that the

Test Secretary is notified prior to the day of the test and provided that an alternate entry

participates in the test as a result of the withdrawal.

All entrants will be notified of the results of the draw

by written acknowledgement.

Should an

acknowledgement not be received by the exhibitor within a reasonable time, please notify the

Test Secretary by phone at [phone].

BITCHES IN SEASON

may participate.

The Test Secretary must be notified that a bitch is in

season prior to the drawing for tracks.

The dog will be given the last track and will not be allowed

in the tracking area until just prior to running her track.

In the case of more than one bitch in

season at the test, a second draw for the last tracks will be held immediately after the first draw.

and Regulations and to follow the instructions of the Tracking Test Committee and

Judges.

Dog Training Association, Inc., the Tracking Test Committee, the landowners, their employees

property on the Sites or loss, damage or injury to any dog, person, or property traveling to or from

the Sites.

ALL DOGS WILL BE KEPT ON LEASH AT ALL TIMES IN ANY AREA OF THE VST SITES
