The initial deadline for exhibitors to purchase a Stall Rental Agreement then select/assign their dog to a stall space has past. If you are a current STALL OWNER, then it states that on page 2 of the confirmation PDF emailed to all exhibitors along with the Stall Space either selected by yourself, your group coordinator, or was assigned if no space was selected by the 2/26/24 deadline.
Additionally, The Stall Rental Agreement has been extended to Monday, March 4, 2024 for those who are not at present a Stall Owner but now wish to purchase a stall rental. Please note: this deadline will not be extended again nor will stall rentals be available during the event weekend while in Perry.
Step 1:
Fill out and submit the Stall Rental Agreement found online at:
https://akc.jotform.com/240077214933857
Step 2:
Once you click Submit on the online form, send email to steve.herwig@akc.org so that a stall space may be selected and assigned to your dog. IF you have already determined which available stall space you’d like to select, send that space # as part of your email; else, I will be touch with a map of available spaces at that time. Please know that over the weekend it may be that evening before I reply to your email.

RING SCHEDULES with walk-groups and RUNNING ORDERs have been posted online at:
www.akccompanionevents.com/nac
NOTE: There is an AKC NAC mobile app available which combines all of the posted documents and links for NAC into one place. It’s use is completely optional. An install link is posted at the above web page. All of the same information is contained in the link above.
On page 2 of the Confirmation PDF update sent to all exhibitors on 2/10/24, in RED, are your Running Order #s for STD, JWW and Hybrid as well as Warm-up STD/ISC (if entered) and Premier STD/ISC (if entered). NOTE: Both regular and preferred dogs of a jump height run together all weekend.
MULTIPLE DOGS, SAME HANDLER: I may have moved one or more of your runs, trying to create breathing room for getting back n’ forth between the rings, crating or stalls. It Is OK that your run order #s have a decimal; just ignore it. That notation tells me I have intentionally moved that run. Use the RUN ORDER #s by Class (not armband #s) to find yourself on the Run Order reports and the Gate sheets. You may walk with any walk-thru groups that make the most sense to you. If you have questions, please let me know sooner rather than later.
WALK-RUN SETS: On the Ring Schedules, when there are SETS mentioned; a SET will walk-run their 1st run together, then move as a group to walk-run their 2nd run of the day. The ring for your second run will be held until all from a SET have completed their first run.
**STALL OWNERS** – Large stall group coordinators have assigned your stall space (shown on page 2) if you are part of a large stall group. General access for stall space reservations opens Monday, 2/12/2024.
A Confirmation Letter of General Information will be posted later this coming week explaining times for move-in, exhibitor check-in, building opening times, etc.
Best regards …

IF you have purchased a Stall Rental Agreement by the Wednesday, 1/31/2024 deadline then your confirmation PDF on page 2 should now have STALL OWNER listed on the dog you selected when submitting the online form. Please notify me by reply email if you believe you are a stall owner but your updated confirmation PDF does not reflect that.
At this there are no refunds per the Stall Rental Rules (see the above web page for a copy). Exhibitors may sublet their stall to another exhibitor following the notification directions in the Stall Rental Rules. I have posted the Stall Space Reservation System instructions and maps along with an online form so large stall group coordinators (i.e. those with 10 or more stalls in their group) may notify me of the exact count within their stall group. Please do not email me your count or a list; use the online form provided.
Exhibitors Do Not have to notify AKC of dogs who are guests in a Stall Owner’s stall or dogs being housed in free crating.
IF you wish to purchase a stall rental agreement after the 1/31/24 deadline, purchases will re-open on Tuesday, 2/27/2024.
Ring Schedules and Run Orders will be posted in February once finalized.
