Bet the event officials don't realize they can be sued as well. Waivers are not a good defense... Sh*t happens, a little insurance would be a good thing--and I bet the sites you use don't know the dogs are not covered! Hopefully you won't find out the hard way... That is the first question we get when getting sites for dog sports! And the binder # for that event WIll be in the site owners hands before the event.... Ya know the AKC has good advice for those organizing dog sports--check their site out! And insurance runs about $600 a year for $2 mil of liability--cheep considering. So you have, what, more than 10 events a year--that's less than the horse people pay... Ta Carol just dealing with paper work now for our Mar events... ------------------------ Yahoo!
