General Running Rules
Dogs may be handled from foot or horseback. Horses may be used for conveyance but not as an active aid to handling. Mounted handlers may approach their dogs on point at a reasonable pace. If a dog continually disturbs his bracemate, it should be the duty of the judge to order the offending dog to be taken up. The judges have the prerogative of setting the pace for the stake. If a handler speeds the course, he should be requested by the judge or the marshal to refrain. If he continues, the entry should be penalized accordingly. If a handler desires to walk the course, the remaining handler, if mounted, should proceed at a corresponding gait and in no event precede the foot handler. On the other hand, if the foot handler unduly holds up the mounted handler, the mounted handler may, with permission of the judges, proceed. It should be to the credit of the dog if he voluntarily backs or honors another pointing dog. In general, being a breeder’s stake, the inherent qualities of the dog that demonstrates its potential as an outstanding all-age or shooting dog should be used as the criteria by the judges in their final decision. |
