7 Unsportsmanlike Conduct
7.1 It shall be deemed unsportsmanlike conduct if a person, during the running of, or in the connection with an event, abuses or harasses a judge, trial official or any other person present in any capacity at the event.
7.2 Any handler who displays unsportsmanlike conduct or who is seen to kick, strike or otherwise roughly manhandle a dog while on the grounds of a tracking test at any time during the holding of the event, may be expelled from the trial by the Tracking Test Committee.
7.3 The judges shall also have the authority to expel a handler from a test if they observe unsportsmanlike conduct on the part of the handler or see the handler kicking, striking or otherwise roughly manhandling a dog while the even is in progress. It will be the duty of the judge to report promptly to the Tracking Test Committee the expulsion of the handler.
7.4 The Tracking Test Committee shall investigate, at once, any instance of alleged unsportsmanlike conduct on the part of the handler, or any report that a handler has been observed kicking, striking or otherwise roughly manhandling a dog. If the Tracking Test Committee, after investigation, determines that a handler is in violation of this section, and that the incident, if proven, would constitute conduct prejudicial to the sport or the CKC, it shall exercise its authority in accordance with the Compliants section of these rules.
7.5 The Test Secretary shall submit to the CKC a complete report of any hearing action taken under this section within 21 days.
