Alamo NAVHDA Test Entry Policies

​

• Entry to an Alamo test will not be allowed until the test is announced. An email will be sent out to all Alamo members when a test is open.

• To secure a spot in an Alamo NAVHDA Chapter Test, the Test Secretary must receive both a completed entry form and the entry fee.  An entry form is not complete unless all required information is provided. You can enter a test by mail, but preferred method is emailed PDF.

• Entry into an Alamo NAVHDA test is on a first come first served basis. 

• NAVHDA registration is required of all dogs running a NAVHDA test.  The NAVHDA registration number is required on the entry form. The handler and owner of the dog in a test must be members of NAVHDA International.

• An entry may be withdrawn at any time, an entry fee refund will only be issued if the test was full at the time and the spot was filled by a dog on the waiting list. 

• In the case of a withdrawal before the test was full, a refund of the entry fee will be issued if the test subsequently reaches capacity. 

• Alamo NAVHDA does not carry over test entry fees to another test.   

• If you would like to enter another test you will be responsible for sending a new payment and entry from to the Test Secretary responsible for that test. 

• An entry may be withdrawn if the dog has a disabling injury or illness, a refund will be issued on receipt documentation of a veterinarian.  

• No refunds will be offered if pulling a dog within 30 days of the test date, unless a note from a veterinarian is provided. 

• If a dog is pulled within 60 days of the test date, a 50% refund will be refunded if the test spot is filled.

• If a dog is pulled before 60 days of the test date a refund will only be issued if the test spot is filled.

• An owner may substitute a dog of the same testing level for a dog already entered in the test.  An owner may substitute a new handler of an entry.  However, changes of both dog and handler are considered a new entry and must go to the end of the waiting list if one exists.  If a substitution occurs the dog owner is required to submit a corrected test entry form with the new information.

• If your entry is received after the test has been filled, you will be placed on a waiting list and receive notification.  

• If entering by mail, please send in a check or money order with your entry form. 

• If entering with PDF by email, the test secretary will contact you for payment. Payment must be received within 48 hours to hold your spot in the test.
