BigD Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 I'm hoping someone out there can help us with this. Here in Hawaii we have AKC and NOTHING else. We've been trying to get NADAC set up here in Hawaii for the past 2 + years. But it's so difficult. Is there anyone out there that has experience with this? We've basically found out that any AKC affiliated club can hold a NADAC trial (under the radar sort of) and not have to pay extra for insurance. According to the only insurance co here that will cover this - you MUST be AKC affiliated or they will not cover you. Hmphf. That really hurts us...but it may be the only way. Of course, the clubs that are AKC affiliated may not want to try and risk loosing their affiliation by running a NADAC trial...so that may not get us very far. Are there any words of advice from any of you folks out there on how a small club (our local Border Collie club which is only BSCA (ack! ick!) recognized) could possibly hold a NADAC trial? We have spoken with NADAC and we've spoken with insurers and this seems to be the easiest and fastest way right now. Any other thoughts?

Annette Carter & the Borderbratz Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 Any other thoughts? Other than the insurer being retarded no. You could also check with CPE I understand it is very easy to put a trail on in comparison to other orgs. so it usually works well for small clubs.

BigD Posted June 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 Annette - What is CPE? And yes, the insurer is a retard...but alas...there are quite a few of them in Hawaii. Want to keep their jobs easy... sigh... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diane allen Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 Another piece of info to use with the insurers: one of NADAC's primary concerns is safety for the dogs! SURELY that would count for something??? diane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urge to herd Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 Denise, Can you contact Hartford Insurance directly in Conneticut (I think?) I know that they insure all over the country for dog related stuff, they were our insurer for the flyball club and I think they insure my agility teacher. Good luck!

BigD Posted June 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 Hi Diane and Ruth - Thanks for this info. I do believe that we CAN get insurance through outside sources (off island) BUT if we go through an AKC club, then we don't have to pay extra for the insurance to run a NADAC trial because the AKC insurance covers all types of dog training - not just AKC trials. That will save us something like $800 a year in insurance. So that is the route these folks are trying to go down. Thanks for the info though!
