MEASURING and HEIGHT CARDS New Rules Please Read New Rule: If a measurement is necessary, it is the exhibitor s responsibility to have their dog(s) measured prior to running. If your dog does not have a Permanent height card, or if your dog has turned 2 years of age, since getting your temporary height card, your dog NEEDS to be measured. Exhibitors are NO longer required to send their height cards in with their entries, Jump Height cards are NO longer required to be shown during check-in. The entry form has 3 new boxes: 1) My dog needs to be measured, 2) My dog has a Temporary Height Card, 3) My dog has a Permanent Height Card. ONE OF THESE THREE BOXES MUST BE CHECKED. All dogs competing in agility must possess an official AKC Jump Height Card. Dogs that do not have a valid Jump Height Card must be measured by a judge of record for that trial and will only be effective for that set of trials, excluding the dogs jumping in the 24-inch or 26-inch height division. If an official measurer is present, all dogs that have not been issued a permanent Jump Height Card or temporary jump height (yellow) form must be measured for a Jump Height Card regardless of the jump height entered. If there is not an AKC Field Rep or VMO in attendance, all dogs that have not been issued a permanent Jump Height Card or temporary jump height (yellow) form may still compete; however, they must be measured by a judge of record for the trial, prior to running at each trial. The judge s measurement will be valid for this trial or back-to-back trials only. If a dog is measured by an AKC Field Rep or VMO and is now eligible to jump in a lower height class, the measurement is effective immediately for any future runs. This does not apply to a challenge measurement for a permanent jump height card. Ladies Kennel Association of America WOULD LOVE YOU TO HELP It takes a lot of people to run an agility trial.

MOVEUP CLARIFICATION Chapter 1, Section 19 of the Regulations for Agility Trials state: As per Section 19, American Kennel Club Regulation for Agility Trials, dogs may be moved up to a higher class, at the request of the Owner, as a result of qualifying for an agility title. Dogs so moved up will be entered at the end of the running order or otherwise at the secretary s or Judges discretion. Day to Day Move ups: Move ups from day to day at a set of back to back agility trials shall be at the discretion of the club. The request for moving up must be made to the Trial Secretary not later than the day preceding the event. When is an exhibitor eligible to request a move up? If an exhibitor wants to move up on the first day his/her dog is entered, the move up must be submitted by the first deadline, which is by 6pm on the Monday before the trial in most cases. (See Chapter 1, Section 19 of the Regulations for Agility Trials.) Once an exhibitor has shown on their first day, then day to day move ups apply. Example 1: Sally is only entered in Novice STD on Sunday of a trial weekend that encompasses Friday Sunday. Sally earned her NA title for Fluffy the previous weekend. Sally has until Monday @ 6pm to request a move up for Sunday s entry. Sally may not request a day to day move up on Saturday, since she is not entered on Saturday, she s only entered on Sunday. In order to move up to a higher class level, she must notify the Trial Secretary that she wants/needs to move up prior to the deadline preceding the trial weekend. Example 2: Sally is only entered in Novice STD on Saturday and Sunday of a trial weekend that encompasses Friday Sunday. Sally earned her NA title for Fluffy the previous weekend. Sally only has until Monday @ 6pm to request a move up for Saturday s entry. If she doesn t move up for Saturday s event by 6pm on Monday, Sally is allowed to move up on Saturday to Open STD for Sunday s event because she was entered on Saturday. Note: Day to day move up acceptance is dependant upon whether the dog was entered on the day of the move up request. The timeframe of when a dog has earned titles has no relevance in determining eligibility when accepting a day to day move up. NOVICE MOVEUPS: Dogs or Handlers having attained ANY AKC Agility Title (Std, JWW, OR FAST class) must be moved to the Nov B Classes (Std, JWW and FAST classes) for all trials that have reached the final closing date at the time that they get that first title. So be sure and contact the trial secretary to change your entry from Novice A to Novice B Once a trial closing date has past, a dog cannot be moved from Nov A to Nov B. If the trial has already reached the closing date on the day the dog obtained its title, the dog shall remain in the class in which it was originally entered. The dog can also be moved up a level (Nov to Open) at the request of the owner subject to the normal move-up criteria. Before the trial, Move ups may be made prior to the move-up deadline via email to LItrialsec@optonline.net, or in writing to Cindy Medina, 294 Neptune Ave., W. Babylon, NY 11704-5815.
