| Q. Where can I find the Judging Program for an upcoming show? |
A. From the BaRay Events main page:
Click on the Show you wish to view the Judging Program for on the lower left side of the main page under "Shows" listings.
At the top of the next page, choose the "Show Documents" link.
Then choose "Judging Program".

| Q. You say the Premium List is available for printing from a PDF file. What is that and do I need any special equipment to print it? |
A. The PDF (Portable Document Format) was invented by Adobe Systems to allow you to view documents on a wide variety of computer platforms without needing to have all the same fonts or software on every machine.
If you do not currently have Adobe's Acrobat software, you can download a version for your Windows, Macintosh or Unix-type machine by clicking on the link provided on our site. The software is free. |
| Q. I don't have time to get the Premium List but have a blank AKC entry form from another show - can I use it? |
A. Yes, but BE SURE to cross out the other shows information & clearly mark the entry form with the Show Name & Show Dates of the show you wish to enter.
You can always obtain a blank entry form for a BaRay Event Services, Inc. show that is live for entry by following the simple steps below:
1. Choose the show you wish to enter under the "Shows" listing on the left side of the main page.
2. Then choose "Show Documents" at the top of the next screen.
3. Finally, choose the file "INTERACTIVE ENTRY FORM (FAX/MAIL IN)".
Note: You can complete the entry form on your computer & print with all your dogs information for mailing or faxing. |

A. We can only confirm entries by email or fax (dogshows@barayevents.com or 360-755-2248) please include your dog's AKC # (or foreign registration #) available.
On mornings of closings (usually Wednesdays), please DO NOT call our office to confirm your entries. We must have our phone lines open to assist exhibitors to complete their entries.
We are happy to confirm receipt of your entry immediately upon processing. To request this, you may place a note in with your entry when you mail it to our office requesting we email or telephone you upon receipt. |
