If you wish to enter a third dog, please indicate it on your entry form but do not include the associated entry fees for the dog. Our Entries Office will contact you for payment, should the occasion arise

Regulations:: - Special attention is called to the Calgary Stampede Rules and Conditions. The rules and conditions will be strictly enforced by the Sheep Committee. - Top six aggregate dogs from the go rounds will advance to the finals. - Order of running will be determined by drawing for position by the Calgary Stampede Sheep Committee prior to the trials. - The dog must be in the handlers circle prior to being sent; a 20 second penalty will be assessed if the dog is outside the circle when sent. - This is a timed arena trial. Timing will start when the dog is sent or the gate closes after the 3rd sheep has entered the arena. - Dogs may be directed by voice or whistle (handlers may carry a stockman's cane or shepherd's crook). - At least one sheep must complete each obstacle before proceeding on to the next obstacle. Retries are the handler's choice. If the handler decides to retry the obstacle, all of the sheep must be taken back to a point prior to the obstacle with the stopwatch running. Any previous points for that obstacle are forfeited. - Knocking over an obstacle will result in all points lost for that obstacle. - The handler must remain in the handler's circle at all times until the last sheep exits the chute. Failure to do so will result in a 20 second penalty per occurence. - Once the rope on the gate has been taken up by the handler it cannot be intentionally released until the sheep are penned. Releasing the rope to gain an advantage will result in a disqualification. - At no time will a handler come in contact with the sheep except in the case where the sheep runs into the handler while blocking them. This includes contact with any part of the handler's body or any inanimate object. Contact with the sheep will result in a disqualification. - Gripping and/or biting will result in disqualification. - If two or more handlers are equal in time and points at pen time, the tie will be broken by chute times and points. In case of incomplete runs by all competitors, positions will be determined by chute times and points. - The judge can award a rerun at any time during the trial if circumstances warrant such action. In the case of a rerun, the judge will decide if the dog is to start from the beginning or a certain point of the run. If decided that the rerun shall start from another point other than the beginning, points and time up until the restart position will stand. - No dogs will be allowed on the trial course prior to their run. - Competition dogs only are allowed on Stampede Park. - Exhibitors must wear a western dress shirt. - Dogs must be clean and groomed. - Competitors are expected to be ready for their run when called. Handlers who fail to answer the call will be disqualified. - Any abuse of dogs or livestock seen by the show coordinator or judge will result in the handler and all dogs entered under the handlers name being disqualified and all monies won by the handler will be forfeited. - At no time will a handler approach the judge. The judge's decision will be respected and considered final.
