Ensure you select your dog class within the online entry form.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR COMPETITORS IN THE UPCOMING SPRING SHOW SEASON FOR EVENTS RUN BY THE UPPER GOULBURN WORKING DOG GROUP.
In an endeavour to better handle the increased demand for runs at our UGWDG events, we are changing the entry process. Handlers are asked to submit their dog entries as normal but not make payment until their entries have been accepted. This removes the need for refunds should balloting be required.
Once entries close and final numbers are known, balloting will take place if required to determine the final fields. You will be notified of the accepted dogs and the payment required. You will then have 48 hours to make payment to confirm your entries. If payment is not received within the allotted time, you will not be included in the final draw.
Each event will have fixed first round runs confirmed before entries are opened.
Seymour Show will run a maximum of 60 first round runs.
