All persons attending these dog shows hereby waive any claim for damages against the Border Collie Society Of America or Purina Farms or its members or employees in the event a motor vehicle must be entered to rescue a dog from overheating or suffocation due to improper ventilation.

  • No one is permitted anywhere that is marked “Employees Only” and/or “No Admittance”. These are feeding research-controlled areas, which are separate divisions of Purina and are not part of the show grounds. Any violations may result in the end of all dog events at Purina’s beautiful facility. Purina and the bench show committee may deal with violators.

  • Please observe the marked “Exercise Area” and “No Dogs” areas around the hotel grounds and the show site.
