Congratulations to everyone in ribbons, but a big Congratulations to Kent Jaeger and his dog Moto. They got an Amateur JAM and a Qual JAM.

Some of you may remember that Kent's truck was stolen with Moto in the back last November.

Looks like they've both recovered pretty well!

[Correction. I had previously listed MOTO as QAA. To get QAA in the Amature you have to get a 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th place. Open JAM's do count toward QAA.]

Here is an excerpt from the rules:

quote:

---

A Qualifying Stake at a Retriever trial shall be for dogs which have never won first, second, third, or fourth place or a Judges' Award of Merit in an Open All-Age, Limited All-Age or Special All-Age Stake, or won first, second, third or fourth place in an Amateur All-Age Stake, or Owner-Handler Amateur All-Age Stake, or Restricted All-Age Stake won two first places in Qualifying Stakes at licensed or member club trials. In determining whether a dog is eligible for the Qualifying Stake, no award received on or after the date of closing of entries shall be counted.

ALSO my APOLOGIES to David Miller for forgetting to mention that his dog "Ike" JAM'd the Q at the Tacoma RC.

Paul, he is QAA,with the Amateur jam, however he can still run Quals until he places in a Amateur or jams or places an open. But since he's already QAA he would be wasting his money running Quals.

Linda P -- Better read the rule book!

An Open All-Age Stake at a Retriever trial shall be for all dogs.

A Limited All-Age Stake at a Retriever trial shall be for dogs that have previously been placed or awarded a Judges' Award of Merit in an Open All-Age Stake, or Amateur All-Age Stake, or Owner-Handler Amateur All-Age Stake carrying Championship points in each case, or that have been placed first or second in a Qualifying Stake.

A Special All-Age Stake at a Retriever trial shall be for dogs that, during the period comprised of the previous calendar year and the current calendar year prior to the date of closing of entries for such trial, have been placed or awarded a Judges' Award of Merit in an Open All-Age, Limited All-Age, Special All-Age, Amateur All-Age, or Owner-Handler Amateur All-Age Stake carrying Championship points in each case, or have been placed first or second in a Qualifying Stake.

A Restricted All-Age Stake at a Retriever trial shall be for dogs that have been previously placed in an Open All-Age Stake, a Limited All-Age Stake, an Owner-Handler Amateur All-Age Stake, or a Restricted All-Age Stake carrying Championship points in each class.

So Moto is QAA relative to running Open, Limited, and Special. He is not qualified to run a Restricted AA stake.

So essentially he is QAA, he just hasn't been booted from the Qual yet.

At least you guys got me to read the rule book...
