This is a contract that was sent to me by mistake, I have removed the handlers names but I thought it might help some of you see the expence that can be involved in paying a handler. This contract was for handling a Whippet not even a coated dog.
The following Handler-Client Agreement will be effective July 1, 2006.
EXHIBITING FEES:
All Breed Shows (including puppy classes) $ 100.00
Ringside Pick up $ 90.00
Specialty Shows (regular classes) $175.00
National Specialties (Westminster, Ect…) Upon Request
Group 1st $150.00
Group 2nd $125.00
Group 3rd $115.00
Group 4th $100.00
All Breed Best In Show $500.00
Specialty Best In Show $500.00
Board per day pending breed
Training per day $ 50.00
Expenses for each show will be charged. This means gas, parking, mileage, food and lodging for handler and assistants. This expense will be divided between ALL dogs.
ENTRY FEES:
We will no longer carry the expense of client entries through our checking account or entry submittal account. We will be happy to set up an account for you with Entry Submittal and continue to make entries for you through your account. We will need your Visa or Master Card number and expiration date. Entry submittal’s charge is $4.50 per entry. If you wish us to fax your entries with our machine the fax fees will then apply. IF FOR ANY REASON YOUR ENTRIES DO NOT GET IN, (YOU FORGOT, THE ENTRY SERVICE FAILS TO GET YOUR ENTRY IN, THEY GET LOST IN THE MAIL, ETC...), YOU WILL STILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE HANDLING FEES FOR THOSE MISSED SHOWS.
CANCELLATIONS:
Cancellations by the client must be made before the closing of entries. THESE CANCELLATIONS MUST BE MADE AT LEAST FIVE DAYS PRIOR TO CLOSING TO GIVE HANDLER AN OPPORTUNITY TO TRY AND FILL THE CLASS. OTHERWISE, HANDLING FEES WILL BE CHARGED. Extreme emergencies will be considered on an individual basis.
PAYMENT:
All fees are due and payable upon reception of bill. 1 ˝% will be added after thirty days. All fees must be paid before your dog is released to you. When your dog finishes its championship, you will be responsible for the handling fees for the remaining entered shows (unless handler fills the class with another dog). A $25.00 charge will be made for any returned checks. On relatively long circuits, client may be required to pay ˝ in advance.

Fax Fee $ 4.00
Airport pick-up and delivery: $ 50.00 (each way)
