ELIGIBILITY FOR CLASSES

In the following definitions of classes, First Prizes 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 excepted). Only a first place with a clear round completed within the course time set by the judge will count towards grade progression.

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. With this proviso classes are defined as follows:-

Class Structure. A Class may either be held as a Graded Class or a Combined Class. A Graded Class may be scheduled for one or more consecutive Grades with separate results and awards issued for each grade. A Combined Class may be scheduled for more than one consecutive grade with one overall set of results.

Progression. Progression from each Grade will require one Agility win or three Jumping wins in standard classes at that grade, except that progression from Grade 5 will require 3 wins at Grade 5, one of which must be an agility class. Progression from Grade 6 will require 4 wins at Grade 6, two of which must be agility classes. Results from Combined Classes will only count towards progression from the dog’s current grade.

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), except that there is no requirement for a minimum number of agility points. 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 3 jumping wins and points progression referred to in the definition apply only to one dog and not an accumulation of dogs.

Grade 1 (Elementary) - For owners, handlers or dogs which have not gained a first place in an Agility Class or 3 first places in Jumping Classes at Kennel Club licensed Agility Shows. N.B. Owners, handlers or dogs previously qualified out of Grade 1, (Elementary) are not eligible for this class.

N.B. Owners, handlers or dogs previously qualified out of Grade 2 (Starters) are not eligible for this class.

Grade 3 (Graduate) - Open to dogs which are not eligible for Grade 1 or 2 or have elected to progress on points from Grade 2 at Kennel Club licensed Agility Shows and dogs which are not eligible for Grade 4, 5, 6 or 7.

Grade 4 (Novice) - Open to dogs which have gained a first place in an Agility Class or 3 first places in Jumping Classes at Grade 3 or elected to progress on points from Grade 3 at Kennel Club licensed Agility Shows and are not eligible for Grade 3, 5, 6 or 7.

Grade 7 (Advanced) - Open to dogs which have gained a minimum or 4 first places at Grade 6 at Kennel Club licensed Agility Shows, 2 first places must be gained in Agility (not Jumping) Classes.

Scottish Agility Dog of the Year - Classes 10, 19, 27, 42, 51 & 59 are qualifying heats for the SKC Scottish Agility Dog of the Year Finals 2015. Qualification from the heats is restricted to dogs, handlers and owners resident in Scotland and competing at Grades 6 & 7. The two fastest clear rounds for large dogs, the one fastest clear round for medium dogs and the one fastest clear round for small dogs, will qualify to compete in the final which will be held at The Scottish Kennel Club August Show. Where the class is graded results from grades 6 & 7 will be merged to determine the qualifiers. Handlers may compete in more than one heat but once qualified they may not qualify the same dog again in another heat but may qualify other eligible dogs.

SPECIAL CLASSES

Wins, places and clear rounds in Special Classes do not count towards agility warrant points/grade progression.
