Veteran dogs have the choice of Micro, Small or Medium height and NOT Standard although classes run together and if enter standard will be dropped to medium by admin. If decide to change height dog competing at during the season (i.e. Small to Micro) or (Large to Standard), please discuss with Sarah or one of the admin team as will need to ensure points are carried forward as calculated on dogs height. Entry Levels Agillidogz Kennel Club UKA BAA Starters Grades 1-3 Beginners/Novice Introductory/Primary Intermediate Grades 3-4 Novice Primary/Novice Advanced Grades 5-7 Senior/Champion Novice/Graduate/Masters Veterans Anysize Juniors For dogs over 7 years old & once entered this class cannot move back to normal classes at Agillidogz shows. For dogs that do not run at their designated height for various reasons. For handlers under 18 years old. Rules are as standard classes and weaves may be included. Silent toys cannot be carried unless run Not for Competition (NFC). There is an overlap between Starters and Intermediate for Grade 3 dogs, this is particularly aimed at new dogs starting to compete where their handler is Grade 3 at KC shows and the dog needs slightly easier courses. Dogs can stay in level eligible for at start of the season as we encourage consistency & confidence, unless handlers can prove they have been winning and want to move up a level. Please be aware that dogs cannot move back down once made this choice unless a valid reason. Dogs can move to Anysize if need lower height and / or equipment i.e. been injured or need confidence building. Dogs can stay in that class all season or just for one or two shows but cannot compete in their eligible level at same show (each day) i.e. Anysize in the morning and Starters in the afternoon. League points DO NOT carry forward if change level during the season. Please speak to Sarah or Sharon if need any further help or advice on any of the above. Helping: To enable the show to run smoothly, it would be appreciated if all competitors could give some time to assist on the rings. If everyone just did 15 minutes, then nobody would have to help for very long. If not sure how to do certain jobs please ask a member of the Agillidogz team, Ring Manager or fellow competitors who will be pleased to help. Remember everyone has to start somewhere and the way most of us have made very good friends! Please indicate which slot would suit you best on your entry form but this is not set in stone, as help at any time is very much appreciated. Nobody is expected to forego running their dog by helping.

5 Training / Running Not for Competition (NFC): Training is permitted in the ring, but your run will be classed as NFC. If you are running NFC, please do not use food in the ring and if using a toy DO NOT throw it in the ring. NFC runs must not exceed the maximum course time (60 seconds).
