Rules & Regulations for Dog Race
1. Entrants must run with their dogs holding the leash, with a leash attached.
2. If you dog is rude or antisocial, please leave it at home.
3. We’re not entirely certain what the rules are in this class.
4. Sometimes they are made up on the day, sometimes on the spot, sometimes they are broken, but whatever happens there will be lots of laughs.
5. There are black dogs, tan dogs, black and tan dogs,
short haired, long haired, some in fancy dress, some in racing stripes
but what they have in common is that they do their very best
with their little legs to race to claim victory.
