Travel Expenses

Terms & Conditions:

1. Client agrees to pay all entry fees. They assume responsibility for making entries unless prior

arrangements have been made.

2. Client agrees to notify handlers as to which shows will be entered. It is further understood that failure

of Client to enter dog (client forgets, entries get lost in the mail, etc.) after verbally contracting the 

Handlers to show a dog for a specific show or shows will result in assessment of full handling fees for 

said show(s). Fees will also be assessed in full if client pulls a dog after close of entries or within 24 hours 

of the closing date for a given show. Extreme emergencies will be considered on an individual basis.

3. It is understood that the owner of the dog will assume all costs incurred by the handlers for any

medical treatment by a veterinarian required for the dog while under supervision of the handlers. It is

further agreed that the handlers shall determine the need for any veterinary care for the animal while

under their supervision.

4. It is the client's responsibility to advise the handlers of any habits the dog may have that could

possibly present a problem in giving safe and adequate care in the handler’s facility or at the dog

show. It is also the client's responsibility to furnish instructions and medication if the dog is on

medication of any kind. All clients are required to keep their dog’s shots current per their vet’s

recommendation.

5. In the case of a ring conflict, priority will be at the discretion of the Handlers. Owners that have 

supported the handlers consistently and over the longest period of time will have priority. If necessary, a 

competent substitute Handler, approved by Jennifer Carlson, will be secured to show your 

dog and the normal handling fee will be charged. In the event that no competent handler is available, 

the dog will be marked absent and no handling fee will be charged.

6. Payment is due and payable upon receipt of each invoice. A 10% late fee will be assessed on

accounts 30 days past due. Any and all disputes regarding payment, which cannot be agreed upon

satisfactorily between the Client and Handlers, will be settled in a courthouse of Jennifer Carlson’s

choice. It is further agreed that client shall pay any and all reasonable legal fees and court costs should this action become necessary to collect any indebtedness.

7. A $1,000 deposit is required per dog and will be applied to the final statement. 

8. Jennifer Carlson will save all rosettes and trophies received to be given to their clients upon the return of their dogs. If the client requests the flat ribbons to be saved as well, please note that below.
