Working Handbook
On pages 19 and 30 are diagrams depicting course layout diagrams.
We wish to point out that these are for illustration purposes only. For exercises WT5 and WX5 (Designated Retrieve) the various placement of objects are correctly shown on pages 24 and 35 respectively.
The Handbook may be adjusted at the time of the annual review of Handbooks.
HST-PST
On April 1, 2013, British Columbia and Prince Edward Island will change the way their sales taxes are administered. In British Columbia, the 12% HST will be replaced by the 5% GST and Prince Edward Island will be replacing its GST/PST system with the HST. The HST rate in Prince Edward Island will be 14%.
PLEASE ENSURE YOUR APPLICATIONS SHOW THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF TAX.
CARO has just opened its official facebook page under the name Canadian Association of Rally Obedience. Check us out and join in.
Update
Item 14 on 66 of the handbook relating to Team competition states:- ' The course shall be designed so that Station 10 is a stationary exercise.'
This is incorrect. It should read 'The course shall be designed so that Station 10 is one which finishes with the dog in a stationary position. (See Feeding Stations on the Updates Page)'
Rule Changes.
The following changes are to take effect immediately:-
Page 10 of the Handbook - Eligibility Item 6.
Dogs must be at least six months of age to compete. Add the following. Dogs over 7 years of age may compete as a Senior.
On Page 20 add another paragraph
Senior Dogs
Senior dogs may have modifications made to the course because of their age without requiring a letter from a veterinarian. However should the dog have any physical handicap then the requirements under Provisions for Physically Challenged will apply.
Note - The handbook will NOT be changed at this time but an amending document will be published.
