We had to measure dogs for 2016 since we changed the groupings to be grouped by shoulder height. Therefore it was extremely important that dogs be correctly measured into their correct wicketed groups. We did require a measurement card so no heights could be challenged at the event. The worst scenario is for a dog to be questioned at the event and have to redo all of the catalogs, running orders, placements and make someone jump a different height. So, yes, we did require a height card for all dogs entered in the champs, whether in Skilled or Proficient. It worked really great and everyone loved the new groupings used!

So Sharon - if we run in skilled and don't have height cards - you'd like us to get a height card before champs? ANd is the standard height card or do you need something that says EXACTLY what her height is? most of us use wickets not actual rulers
Just checking bc I have never had a dog measured as I run skilled in "everyday life" and getting Zoe measured is going to be incredibly stressful for her so I need to start getting her used to it
Thanks
