UTV POLICY AND RENTALS
Contact Duke Rentals in Wichita, KS at 316-883-3600.
11/8/2021: UTV POLICY CHANGE
WE ARE AMENDING THE POLICY FOR UTV USE FOR THE 2021 NOC TO ALLOW THOSE WITH FEWER THAN 4 DOGS ENTERED TO USE THEIR PERSONAL UTV TO BRING THEIR DOGS TO THE LINE AND TO PICK THEM UP AFTER RUNNING.
We do still ask that once the dog is either brought out or picked up, the UTV shall return to the parking are and not continue as a part of the gallery. This will require that the UTV have a driver separate from the handler.
As stated in the original UTV policy, those handlers who have entered 4 or more dogs may use their personal UTV’s to shuttle their dogs. However, we also request that once your dog has run, you return your shuttle to the parking as soon as possible to reduce the number of machines following in the gallery.
