What to Bring:
Corgi Dog(s) – Please make sure your dog is freshly watered, pottied & in a good mood. Please only enter your dog if he/she is full corgi.
Lure – Your dog’s favorite toy, treat or human. Please do not use a dog as a lure to avoid crowding & to keep the finish line safe.
Release Form –Form must be submitted via e-mail by 9/1. The first 16 eligible dogs will be accepted and placed into the roster. Dogs will not be allowed to race without a signed form on file.
Travel Bowl & Water – Your dog will be thirsty after the race.
Collar or Harness & Leash – All dogs are to be on a leash & under your control prior to & immediately following the race to ensure safety.
Waste Bags – It’s always best to be prepared!
Details:
Heats – Multiple heats will be run in the race. The winner of each heat will advance to the next round until the grand prize winner is determined.
Course – The race course will be approximately 30’ long and 10‘ wide. One handler will release the racing dog on command at the start of the race and a second handler will lure/encourage and capture the dog at the finish line.
Fellow Racers – Just like at a dog park or any other public area where dogs meet, there will not be a vaccination confirmation or spay/neuter requirements. If your dog has special needs (ie. In heat, showing signs of illness, etc.) please make the responsible decision.
Don’ts – The handlers will be set up 3’ from the finish line so the winner can be clearly determined. While arm reaching & waving is expected, we ask that you do not step over the handler’s line.
Emergencies – Dr. Susan Cooke of Vet Wagon is our “Official Corgi Race Veterinarian” for the races should any veterinary emergencies arise.
