And, in addition, no responsibility will be assumed for any loss, damage or injury sustained by an owner, exhibitor, handler or spectator.

8. No grooming tables, pens or exhibitors setups will be allowed in the aisles and all grooming must be done away from the judging ring in areas specified by the club.
