“Pawsome“ Events include Agility Fun Runs, Lure Coursing Runs, Steeplechase  Runs  and other fun events.

The goal of these events is to have FUN while improving the health and fitness of our dogs.

Our plan is to use the funds the events generate to add more equipment.
Our first GOAL is to raise $2,000 for an electronic timing system.
We also will be adding a Graduation Photo Wall.
If you make a donation to the PARTNERS PAWSOME FUND, your name will be added to the Graduation Photo Wall.

LINE UP FOR THE DAY
We will have THREE courses set for dogs.
Jump or Obstacle heights will be determined by dog size.

You run each course twice, with the BEST time on each run used to determine final positions.

Penalties (for downed jumps, refusals, contacts or safety issues) will be “time added”

If you are unable to do an obstacle, you can still compete, but will have 30 seconds added to your time. (Maximum of one 30 second penalty per run)

JUDGING
We will have a Judge, Timekeeper and Scorer at each Course
The Judges decision is FINAL in all decisions, rules and scoring.

SCHEDULE
Competitors will be divided into four groups.
We will try and place all small dogs in Group 1
We will try and place all medium dogs in Group 2
Tyro and Novice people will be mixed

Each competitor will be allowed to run, and then move to the back of the line.
After everyone has been through, then each competitor will be given one more run.
Your BEST TIME for the course will be taken.
At the end of the day, your final score will be the total of all three runs.

PRIZE CATEGORIES
There will be TWO prize categories: Tyro Class and Novice Class
In each category there will be prizes for Overall 1st, 2nd and 3rd Places
There will also be a prize for Fastest Run on each Course

And, every participant will receive a Participation Award just for being there.
