This article is from the Obedience Trials, by Cindy Tittle Moore with numerous contributions by others.
The Obedience Regulations may be obtained for $1 by writing to the
AKC. Sometimes they are handed out at shows. Details on deductions,
rules, and so on are given in this book. The regulations were last
updated January 1994. This is a bright red booklet, given to bleeding
pink if wet, so keeping it in a plastic baggie is advised.
Note: jump heights and lengths vary according to the entered dog's
breed and height. Dogs may be measured at the ring.
