Newbies – If either you, or your ‘(new to agility dog)’ has never entered a dog agility show

before, then you may enter as a Newbie. No faults, refusals or eliminations will be judged in the Newbie classes, so long as you go back and correct your dog and complete the course.

These classes are won on time. If you enter a Newbie dog in the Newbies classes, you

cannot enter that dog in any other class apart from Classes 6, 12, 13, 19, 25 & 26. See * on the schedule. Jump height may be chosen on the day. Please Note: - Newbie Handlers may carry a silent toy but NO food.

Retired & Recovery – If you have a dog over the age of seven, or a dog recovering, or unable

to go over the required height for some reason, then you may enter in the Retired &

Recovery classes. If you enter your dog in Retired & Recovery you cannot enter that dog in any other classes apart from Classes 6, 12, 13, 19, 25 & 26. See * on the schedule.

Jump height may be chosen on the day.

Please Note: - Retired & Recovery Handlers may carry a silent toy but NO food.

Touch & Go – Any handler & dog can enter this class. The handler must take their dog over

in the second part of the course.

Pairs – There will be five heights offered in the pairs. Each pair of dogs MUST enter at the

same chosen height starting at Micro. Neither one or the other dog in a pair can enter more than once. This class will be offered only as a ‘pay on the day.’
