Attendee and Guest Behavior:
On occasion, an individual's behavior in a hotel or at an event site requires the show committee to take action in order to maintain good relations with the hotels and/or the event site. Common sense and courtesy should dictate your behavior to avoid such action.
To assist us in promptly rectifying any problems with individuals or their dogs, hotel staff will inspect all rooms daily and will immediately report any observed violations or damages to the show committee. The show committee and security will be observing conduct at the event sites. Complaints will be investigated, and the parties involved will be asked to immediately comply with any required corrective actions.
Each dog owner, guest or registrant is expected to cooperate, cease and desist offensive actions, settle damage claims on the spot, and provide insurance or other pertinent information as required or requested. Infractions of any rule or failure to comply may be cause for an official event committee hearing and possible suspension of AKC privileges
It is not fun for anyone to have to deal with misconduct, but the show committee will do so if necessary.
