*Lower height option is offered in all classes and awards will be separate for each class.

Please note: the judges named against all classes are provisional and may be altered once numbers of entries are confirmed. Confirmation of judges will be on the ring plan which will be sent out with running orders.

Eligibility for Classes In the following definitions of classes First prize or other prize wins are those gained in standard classes at any Kennel Club licensed Championship agility, Premier agility, Open agility or Limited agility Shows (i.e. special classes and invitational events are excepted). Standard classes may be scheduled for Agility Shows, as Agility classes or Jumping classes. All standard classes must contain the Weaving Poles obstacle. Standard Agility classes must contain the following elements: “A Ramp”, Dog Walk and See-Saw. Class Structure A Class may either be held as a Graded Class or a Combined Class. A Graded Class may be scheduled for a maximum of three consecutive Grades with separate results and awards issued for each grade. The eligibility for a Graded Class is detailed below. A Combined Class may be scheduled for more than one consecutive grade with one overall set of results. A Combined Class is open to any combination of dog and handler that qualifies for any of the Grades in that class.

Progression Progression from each Grade will be determined by the eligibility for the class as referenced in H(1)(A)11. Results from Combined Classes will only count towards progression from the dog’s current grade. To count for progression wins must be gained in standard classes at Kennel Club Licensed Agility Shows. Only a first place with a clear round completed within the course time set by the judge will count towards grade progression. Lower Height Option Societies may offer the Lower Height Option to all dogs in that height category and may be offered at all grades. It is to be run as part of any Standard class as defined in the regulations and must be clearly identified in the schedule. Each relevant class will have two height with a change part way through to raise/lower the jump heights and may extend/reduce the length of the long jump and width of the rising spread, within the permitted ranges, and competitors must run at their entered height. The order in which the heights will run must be detailed on the ring cards/ring plan. There will be only one course walking at the start of the class. In a class where the Lower Height Option is available show organisers may offer one set of awards by combining the results of each height or may offer separate awards for each height category. When the Lower Height Option is scheduled a dog may only be entered at either the Full Height or at the Lower Height and it cannot compete at a different height in any other class at that competition, including special classes. For these purposes a competition shall be defined as all classes covered within the same schedule. Points Progression At the handler’s discretion a dog may progress up to Grade 4 by winning 100 points at each grade, using the Agility Warrant points scheme (Regulation K3.c refers). A minimum of 50 points must be gained in agility (not jumping) classes in the relevant grade. If this method of progression is selected, the handler must ensure the Show Secretary signs the dog’s Agility Record Book at the first show entered at the higher grade. There is no time limit on this progression, however once a dog has progressed, it cannot return to a previous grade. Progression on points must be done prior to the closing date of entries. It is not possible to change a grade on points once the entries have closed. Standard Classes Only first prizes and points gained in standard classes at Kennel Club licensed Agility Shows may be used for progression through the classes. (A dog is only eligible for one grade). In defining the eligibility of the owner or handler for Grade 1, the two wins and points progression referred to in the definition apply only to one dog and not an accumulation of dogs. Grade 1 Open to owners, handlers or dogs which have not gained a minimum of two first places at Grade 1 at Kennel Club Licensed Agility Shows, at least one of which must have been gained in an agility (not jumping) class. N.B Owners, handlers or dogs previously qualified out of Grade 1 are not eligible for this class. Grade 2 Open to dogs which are not eligible for Grade 1 or have elected to progress on points from Grade 1 and are not eligible for Grades 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7. Grade 3 Open to dogs which have gained a minimum of two first places at Grade 2 at Kennel Club Licensed Agility Shows, one of which must have been gained in an agility (not jumping) class, or have elected to progress on points from Grade 2 and are not eligible for Grades 2, 4, 5, 6 or 7.

Grade 4 Open to dogs which have gained a minimum of three first places at Grade 3 at Kennel Club Licensed Agility Shows, two of which must have been gained in agility (not jumping classes), or have elected to progress on points from Grade 3 and are not eligible for Grades 2, 3, 5, 6 or 7 Grade 5 Open to dogs which have gained a minimum of four first places at Grade 4 at Kennel Club Licensed Agility Shows, two of which must have been gained in agility (not jumping) classes, and are not eligible for Grades 2, 3, 4, 6 or 7 Grade 6 Open to dogs which have gained a minimum of four first places at Grade 5 at Kennel Club Licensed Agility Shows, two of which must have been gained in agility (not jumping) classes, and are not eligible for Grades 2, 3, 4, 5 or 7. Grade 7 Open to dogs which have gained a minimum of five first places at Grade 6 at Kennel Club Licensed Agility Shows, three of which must have been gained in agility (not jumping) classes, and are not eligible for Grades 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6. Special Classes Anysize: Open to dogs not entered in any standard class at the show. Heights will be set at Micro, Small & Medium. You may choose on the day the height you wish to compete at. Courses will only include jumps and tunnels and will be flowing. Pay On The Day Classes All dogs entered in a Pay on the Day class must have been entered for competition in at least one other class at the show. Pay on the Day classes will be run under KC marking rules (unless otherwise specified) and will be treated the same as pre-entered classes in terms of awards. Pay on the Day classes may be entered at the show with the Show Manager and will be charged at £3.50 per dog per class. Grade Changes If you entered the show through Agility Time and the show has not yet closed then please change your grade online. If you sent a postal entry, please advise the show secretary as soon as possible through kellukiagility@gmail.com.

38. Exercise Area - We are very lucky to have the opportunity to run these shows at such a lovely venue, but please note that Merrist Wood is an Agricultural College, with students and livestock on site at all

times. For this reason, we do not have the option of offering an off-lead exercise area for your dogs. Whitmoor Common is just a few minutes away from the venue, off of Salt Box Lane, and we hope this will be a suitable alternative for anybody wanting to exercise their dog off –lead during the show.

The Arena is the 2nd turning on the left. From M25/A3 Southbound - Exit the motorway at junction 10 (Wisley interchange) and follow A3 (S). Continue on A3 for 5.5 miles. Exit at the Burpham Junction. At the first major roundabout turn right into

Clay lane to Jacobs Well. At the T junction turn left onto A320 and at the next roundabout turn right into Salt Box Lane to Worplesdon. Turn right at the next roundabout junction with the A322. At the next roundabout turn left onto Holly Lane and turn right at the main college entrance at the bottom of the hill. The Arena is the 2nd turning on the left. From M3 Motorway - Exit the motorway at J3 (signed Woking, Guildford & A322), Join the A322 towards Guildford and continue for about 7.1 miles.
