General Rules

NABSA is new, so this site is still being created, but our basic premise is one of non-exclusion - All Dogs, All Events. In order to become a member, you'll fill out an application (coming soon).

Each sport has its own set of rules for running the event. Our general rules are as follows:

1. All dogs are eligible to participate in all events with the following exception:

a. NO aggressive dogs (to humans or other dogs) are allowed. Period. Any dog exhibiting aggression will be asked to leave (sorry, no refunds).

b. No bitches in season allowed at any event. There are usually a number of intact male dogs who attend these events, so please wait until your female dogs won't cause a riot! (that can mean up to several weeks after visible signs of heat are gone).

2. No illegal drug use is allowed at any event.

3. No judge, nor member of a field committee, nor crew shall consume alcohol prior to the completion of his or her duties at an event.

4. The owner or agent entering a dog at an event does so at his or her own risk.

5. Dogs determined to be lame or ill at rollcall will be barred from the competition. Fees will only be refunded if the field secretary has been notified prior to roll call.

6. All-breed dog clubs shall be eligible to join NABSA upon application, payment of the appropriate fee and/or annual dues, and submission of a Constitution and Bylaws that provide for inclusion of all breeds in all sporting events.

Other rules may from time to time be made a part of NABSA's Bylaws.

 

 

 

 

 

Field Rules

1. Please make sure your dogs' toenails are clipped short at least 2 days prior to running with us. Toenails that are too long can cause injuries so please keep them short (if you have questions, email us).

4. Please be courteous and do not let your male dogs pee on the equipment. People have to handle these items and it is not fair to the crew to have dog urine on everything.

5. ALL dogs are to be kept well under control. Remember - not every dog likes other dogs. Do not let your dog go nose-to-nose with another dog unless you have permission from their owner.

6. ALL dogs must be kept ON LEASH at all times unless they are participating in the event. This means leash them up BEFORE you let them out of the car. We really don't want any accidents.

7. NO flexi leads, please.

8. A signed waiver must be presented before your dog can run participate in any event. Waivers are available when you sign in at the field or via email (soon on this site, too).

9. Please pick up after your dog. Although we provide a pooper-scooper, please also bring plastic baggies.

10. We know it's exciting, but it is important that you keep your dogs' barking under control in order not to annoy the neighbors.

11. If you bring children - please keep them under control as well. Children are NOT allowed in the field while any dog is running, so you will need someone to watch them.
