yes Francis Raley, 11/18/09 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ July 28, 2008 Dean Holcomb motioned, " the USBCHA will hold the National Finals at Belle Grove Planation in September 2010. Dean Holcomb is representing the local group in this proposal. The USBCHA will accept the budget presented earlier to the B/D. As the budget shows, the event will cost the ISBCHA $5000 up front. The ISBCHA agrees to underwrite the finals for another $5000 in the event of unforeseen cost or revenue loss. If the budget does change for whatever reason, Dean Holcomb will contact the USBCHA president, then the USBCHA board will have direct input in any proposed budget changes. If, after all accounting is done, the event has a net profit, all of the money will be split 70% for USBCHA, 30% for the local group. This money that goes to the USBCHA will go into general funds to be used for all future finals”, seconded by Lena Bailey. Motion passed. Dean Holcomb, yes Lena Bailey,

1. At the National Finals there will always be water available on the field so the dogs can cool themselves and that handlers are allowed to direct their dogs to the water and the dogs may use the water with no points penalty. Handlers may not leave the post to go to the water with their dog. If the handler is on the way to or in the shedding ring or on the way to the pen they may detour to the water. The clock will not be stopped. Handler and dog are still being judged on the actions of the stock and anything that the stock do may cause a loss of points or if the stock leave the trial area disqualification. The HA recommends that all HA sanctioned trials adopt this rule.
