Handler earns all monetary winnings. All trophies, ribbons, certificates, etc. are the property of the owner of the dog.
Single exclusive client pays all expenses related to traveling to a show for just that dog.
Planned shows/training sessions at which the handler is already attending, all expenses will be shared between owners of dogs trained/shown. Referrals earn the client free handling for 1 weekend for all dogs shown; however, other expenses like travel, hotel, etc are still due.
Due to client exclusivity, should a ring conflict occur it is upon me, the handler, to pick and negotiate another person to show the other dogs in my care. In this case, handling fees are still due in order to pay another. If there is an overage, it is upon me, the handler, to pay excess fees in this case.
Estimates can be provided upon request. Any dogs classified as ringside pickup, the owner must pay prior to the dog being released back to your control. Other dogs will be invoiced; however, half of the estimate must be provided 7 days prior to the first day of travel.
HOTEL/MOTEL FEES: Due to breed grooming, clients are expected to pay any pet fees required for the dog to stay at the Hotel/Motel.
Charges for handling will be incurred once the decision to enter and the entry is made, not on the actual handling. Actual handling results in possible additional fees. If the dog entry is pulled, handling charges will not be refunded except in the case of no points or majors available that day, which would be rare.
Obedience Training (behavior modification, basic, Canine Good Citizen preparation) $20 for the first hour and $15 per each additional hour (all times are rounded to the hour) or $100 per day plus travel/travel arrangements and accomodations/supplies. Gas is calculated at $.32 a mile or $70 per every 4 hours of travel.
Currently, accepting Chinese Crested dogs, all hairless breeds, dachshunds, and Spinone Italiano for Conformation. Will consider ring pickups or 1 week prior to show for other breeds. New conformation clients will be accepted after consultation.
Accepting most breeds for Obedience.
2010 SHOW SCHEDULE:
I am unavailable for hire on March 6 and 7 and April 26 through May 2 unless a sporting dog and any other dogs during the above periods will not be considered primary due to client exclusivity if there is a ring conflict.
