sheena Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 (edited) Anyone new going this year that hasn't been before & are all the usual's going??? :) We'll be there & have our new dog, Cricket, running this year in the Starters events Hope it's not as cold as it was last year ETA On my original entry, I put down that my second dog would be being handled by my OH who has joint membership with me. I am now being hit with an additional $40 fee for putting him down as the second dogs handler. Is this the normal thing. I have seen lots of dogs just being handed over to someone else to run on the day & I don't see them paying an additional fee. Has anyone else had to pay a fee for the 2nd handler.

smisch Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Not going this year, Dens not living with me anymore and has retired due to injury and it wasn't worth the money to just run Ella.. Hopefully next yr we will have 3 kids running though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerJack Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I'm going. Was there in 2010 but missed last year. Camping in a tent with 10 dogs! Competing with 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeltaCharlie Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 (edited) I guess because the other people they have handed them to have already paid to run their own dogs. Tailwag and I swap and change dogs throughout the weekend but both of us have paid the inital entry and are therefore paid up for running dogs. I would say it is to do with insurance. If he is running the dog, then he needs to pay to run a dog. ETA: spelling Edited September 18, 2012 by DeltaCharlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheena Posted September 18, 2012 Author Share Posted September 18, 2012 I wonder then why that is not in the original application that you fill out for the second dog & nominate a second handler?? You would think if there were a fee it would be stated there. I have raised the matter with Cathy, but she hasn't got back to me yet. I don't think they have looked at my original application properly, but just trying to get my facts straight beforehand. Thanks DC, I guess you will be there this year??
