AMERICAN KENNEL CLUB (AKC): In
order to participate in an AKC trial, a dog must have an AKC Registration
Number. If you do not have
registration papers but your dog is a purebred, then you can apply for an ILP
(Indefinite Listing Privilege) number. This
enables your dog to compete in AKC agility and obedience trials.
AKC trials offer a Standard titling class and a Jumpers with Weaves class
(JWW), both of which you must have 3 qualifying runs under 2 different judges.
All dogs must start in the Novice class.
Novice A is for dogs/handlers that have never earned an agility title.
Novice B is for handlers that have earned an agility title with another
dog or if they do not own said dog; or if dog has a title in another venue or an
agility title in AKC. (example if said dog has his standard Novice Title, he
should enter JWW Novice B). When in
doubt, I recommend entering B since it is the same rules and course.
Dogs must be at least 12 months old to compete.
