AKC Announces Two New Events
American Kennel Club Launches
New Coursing Ability Test
The American Kennel Club® (AKC®) is pleased to announce the launch of a new titling event – the Coursing Ability Test – on February 24, 2011 in Calhoun, GA. Open to all dogs, the Coursing Ability Test is an introductory event fashioned after the sport of lure coursing and meant to be a fun, healthy activity for dogs and their owners. Coursing Ability Tests may be held by all licensed lure coursing clubs.
Eligible dogs must be at least 12 months of age and individually registered/listed with the AKC (registered purebred, Foundation Stock Service (FSS), Purebred Alternative Listing (PAL) or AKC Canine Partner). In order to pass the test, a dog running alone must pursue a lure, completing the course with enthusiasm and without interruption within a given time.
"The Coursing Ability Test can provide a wonderful community outreach opportunity, an enjoyable experience for dogs and owners and a way to expose a wider audience to the sport," said AVP Performance Events Doug Ljungren. "Most dogs will chase a lure and have fun in the process."
Dogs that pass the Coursing Ability Test three times will earn a Coursing Ability (CA) title. Ten passes and a dog earns a Coursing Ability Advanced (CAA) title and 25 passes results in a Coursing Ability Excellent (CAX) title.
Upcoming events include:
· Bluegrass Coursing Club, Feb. 24-25, Calhoun, GA
· Greyhound Association of North Georgia, Feb. 26-27, Calhoun, GA
· Alamo Area Whippet Club, Mar. 5-6, Hutto, TX
· Northwest Arkansas Kennel Club, Mar. 19-20, Rogers, AR
· Mid-Atlantic Hound Association of Central North Carolina, May 21-22, Rocky Mount, NC
These Coursing Ability Tests are being held in conjunction with the Club’s normal Lure Coursing trial. Coursing Ability Tests may be held with a trial or as stand-alone events.
A summary description of the test, the regulations governing the event and a Coursing Ability Test application form, as well as a list of upcoming events can be found on the AKC website at www.akc.org/events/performance. Click on "Coursing Ability Test" on the left side of the page.
Agility 'Time 2 Beat' Titling Class Launches
The American Kennel Club continues with innovations in the sport of Agility by offering new opportunities for exhibitors with the launch of the Time 2 Beat (T2B) Titling Class. It’s the most interactive class to date where the most accurate, quickest dog sets the pace and all levels – Novice, Open and Excellent – compete against each other on the same course.
This new optional class for clubs, most recently tested by more than 5,000 dogs which ran courses nationwide as a special attraction, has proven it’s a fun way to test a handler/dog team’s speed and accuracy. All AKC clubs licensed to hold Agility Trials may immediately apply to hold this exciting new class or add it to events already submitted for approval. Clubs can continue to offer the classes as a special attraction prior to the effective date of July 1, 2011.
"What makes this class so unique and engaging is that the fastest dog in each jump height sets the "Time to Beat" during the competition," said AKC Director of Agility Carrie DeYoung. "In conjunction with the AKC Agility Advisory Committee, we really listened to our exhibitors and clubs and developed this exciting class with them in mind."
Courses will be built with obstacles from Jumpers With Weaves, with the option of having one to two contacts included on the course. The setting of the time by exhibitors is different than the current AKC classes (Standard and JWW) where the Standard Course Time (SCT) is set by the course yardage as wheeled by the judge.
The class may be offered as Regular and Preferred once per day as an additional class at a club’s option. This is beneficial to clubs which can add an additional class without making multiple course changes that add time to the day as well as increase entries.
To earn the T2B (Regular) or T2BP (Preferred) title, a dog must earn 15 qualifying scores and 100 points. The T2B title initials will be followed by a numeric designation indicating the number of times the dog has met the requirements of the T2B title. Each time a dog earns the T2B title the number of qualifying scores and points will be reset to zero.
