3 Eligibility Requirements for Alternative Titling Classes PREFERRED NOVICE ALTERNATIVE TITLING CLASS (Replaces the Pre-Novice class established July 1, 2013) Section 1. Preferred Novice Class. The Preferred Novice class is an alternative titling class for dogs that have not won the CDX or PCDX or higher Regular or Preferred titles. This is an additional class that may be offered by clubs at obedience events. The owner or any other person may handle dogs in this class. Owners may enter more than one dog in this class. Dogs entered in Preferred Novice may also be entered in other obedience classes. Prior to the start of judging, the judge will decide the Sit/Down position to be performed in this class. The position will not be disclosed to the exhibitors until it is posted at the ring, approximately 45 minutes before the start of the class. In future assignments, judges are required to alternate the Sit/Down position so that each will be used approximately the same number of times. At the listed start time for the class a walkthrough of up to 10 minutes will be allowed for handlers without their dogs. The judge must be available in the ring during this period to brief the handlers and answer any questions they might have. This class may be judged by anyone approved to judge Novice obedience classes. Section 2. Preferred Novice Exercises and Scores. The exercises, maximum scores and order of judging: 1. Heel on Leash and Figure Eight 40 points 2. Stand for Examination 40 points 3. Heel Free 40 points 4. Recall 40 points 5. Stay Sit or Down 40 points Maximum Total Score 200 points The maximum judging rate is nine (9) dogs per hour. Section 3. Preferred Novice Title. The letters PCD may be added after the name of each dog that has been certified by two different judges to have received qualifying scores in Preferred Novice class at three licensed or member obedience trials. That dog will receive a Preferred Novice certificate from the AKC. Section 4. Heel on Leash and Figure Eight Performance and Scoring. This exercise will be performed and scored in the same manner as the Novice Heel on Leash and Figure Eight. Section 5. Stand for Examination Performance and Scoring. This exercise will be performed and scored in the same manner as the Novice Stand for Examination. Section 6. Heel Free Performance and Scoring. This exercise will be performed and scored in the same manner as the Novice Heel on Leash but without either the leash or the Figure Eight. Section 7. Recall Performance and Scoring. This exercise will be performed and scored in the same manner as the Novice Recall. Section 8. Stay Sit or Down Handler Walk Around the Ring. The principal feature of this exercise is that the dog remains in the sit or down position as directed by the judge. All dogs entered in the class will perform the same stay exercise. The dog and handler should be positioned approximately equidistant to each side of the ring as to be perpendicular to and facing one of the sides. The handler will stand with the dog sitting in the heel position. The orders are: Sit your dog or Down your dog, Leave your dog, and Exercise finished. The judge will ask, Are you ready? before giving the first order. On the judge s order, the handler will command and/or signal the dog to sit or down. The judge will order, Leave your dog, and the handler may give a command and/or signal to stay and immediately proceed straight forward to the edge of the ring. The handler will walk around the inside perimeter of the ring in a direction as indicated by the judge, with all dogs entered in the class being judged the same way. Upon completing a full perimeter walk around the ring, the handler will approach the dog from the front and proceed to walk around and in back of the dog to the heel position. Once the handler has returned to heel position, the judge will give the order Exercise finished. Scoring. A non-qualifying score (NQ) is required for the dog moving a substantial distance away from the place where it was left any time during the exercise, not remaining in the sit/down position until the handler has returned to heel position, and repeatedly barking or whining. A substantial deduction will be made for a dog that moves even a short distance from where it was left, that barks or whines only once or twice, or that changes position after the handler has returned to the heel position and before the judge has given the order, Exercise finished. Minor or substantial deductions, even to the point of a non-qualifying (NQ) score, will be made for any additional commands to the dog after the handler has commanded and/or signaled the dog to stay. Scoring of the exercises will not start until after the judge has ordered the handler to leave their dog, except for such things as rough treatment of a dog by its handler or resistance by a dog to its handler s attempts to make it sit/down. These will be penalized substantially; in extreme cases, the dog may be released. The judge will not give the Exercise finished order until the handler has returned to heel position.

Handlers will, without any additional order from the judge, command or signal their dogs to drop at a spot midway between the line of dogs and the handlers. Each dog will remain in the down position until all four have been called and dropped. The judge will give the order to call the dogs, which will be called or signaled simultaneously. The finish will be done in unison on order from the judge. Brace Class.

The dogs need not be owned by the same person but will be handled by one handler. Dogs may be shown unattached or coupled (the coupling device will not be less than 6 inches in overall length). Whichever method is used will be continued throughout all exercises. A separate official entry form will be completed in full for each dog entered. Exercises, performances and judging will be as in the Novice class. The brace should work in unison at all times. Either or both dogs in a brace may be entered in another class or classes.
