Off to a BAD StartFebruary
2002 Board Minutes
February 8, 2002
The Board
convened Friday, February 8, 2002 at 10:45 a.m. after the meetings
of the various Board Committees. All Directors were present as
were the Chief Operating Officer and Executive Secretary.
The Board considered proposed amendments to the Agility Regulations.
They would: add requirements for a dog to qualify at the standard levels; change equipment to provide more consistency and safety; give judges more leeway in designating courses; give clearer direction in faulting an out of control dog; and provide a Preferred Class to maintain a high level of achievement. Following a motion by Mr. Kelly, seconded by Dr. Battaglia, it was VOTED (unanimously) to amend the Agility Regulations, effective September 1, 2002, so that the affected sections would read as follows:
Chapter 2, Section
1. Classes
Revised:
Chapter 2, Section 1. (Paragraph 2)
A licensed
or member agility trial need not include all of the regular agility
classes, but a club will not be approved to hold the Open Standard/Jumpers
With Weaves class unless it also holds the Novice Standard/Jumpers
With Weaves class, nor will it be approved to hold Excellent Standard/Jumpers
With Weaves class unless it also holds the Open Standard/Jumpers
With Weaves class.
Clubs are eligible to hold an all Standard class trial or an all
Jumpers With Weaves class trial. A club may be approved to hold
an Excellent Standard and/or Excellent Jumpers With Weaves only
trial on the day preceding, or the day after a minimum of a two-day
trial in which all levels of agility classes are offered.
The licensed or member agility trial may also offer the non-regular
International Sweepstakes Class in conjunction with the regular
classes. Additional unrecognized non-regular classes may not be
held at a licensed or sanctioned trial.
Chapter 2, Section
3. Height Divisions, Wickets, Measurement.
Revised:
Chapter 2, Section 3.
Dogs may
only be entered in one jump height division per day for all classes. The following jump height
divisions shall be used in all regular trial classes.
8 Inches: For dogs 10 inches and under at the withers.
12 Inches: For dogs 14 inches and under at the withers.
16 Inches: For dogs 18 inches and under at the withers.
20 Inches: For dogs 22 inches and under at the withers.
24 Inches: For dogs over 22 inches at the withers.
Owners are responsible for entering the proper height divisions. Handlers may opt to enter in a higher height division for all titling classes, but not in a division lower than their proper height division. If the dog's height at the withers exceeds the maximum allowed for the jump height which the dog has entered, the dog shall be moved up into the proper jump height if the dog was measured prior to their run. In no case may a dog be moved down in height based on a judge's measurement at a trial. Dogs that run in a height division lower than their proper division will be eliminated. Judges reserve the right to measure any dog they believe might belong in a different division, and any dog whose entry in a given division might be questioned. Exception: Owners/Handlers that have in their possession (on the show grounds) a permanent or valid temporary Jump Height Card for the dog in question, issued by the AKC Agility Dept., are exempt from being measured and the judge shall accept the measurement that is listed on the Jump Height Card.
Chapter 2, Section
4. Jump Height Card.
New:
All dogs competing in Agility must present a valid official Jump
Height Card.
For dogs two years and older, Owners/Handlers must present a permanent height card at check-in or be measured prior to competing.
For dogs under two years of age, the Owner/Handler must present a temporary height card at check-in or be measured prior to competing.
Dogs that do not have a Jump Height Card, will be measured by a Judge of record for that trial and will only be effective for that set of trials, excluding the dogs jumping in the 24-inch height division.
If an AKC Field Representative or a Volunteer Measuring Official (VMO) is present, all dogs must be measured for a Jump Height Card.
If a dog is measured by an AKC Field Representative or Volunteer Measuring Official (VMO) and is now eligible to jump in lower height class, the measurement is only effective for any trials that have not reached their closing date.
Each dog is allowed one re-measurement per lifetime if the dog is past their second birthday. Prior to the second birthday, a dog may have one additional measurement after the initial official measuring. In both cases, the measurement official is to be told the re-measurement is a "challenge" measurement.
Misrepresentation of a dog, including altering information on a Jump Height Card, is grounds for misconduct. Exhibitors should carry the original valid official Jump Height Card at each trial to present upon request.
All dogs that have not been officially measured for a Jump Height Card may still compete; however, they must be measured by the Judge of record, prior to running at each trial. The Judge's measurement will be valid for this trial (or weekend) only. For the Judge's planning purposes, the Trial Secretary should provide the Judge with a list of dogs that will require measuring. If a measurement is necessary, it is the exhibitor's responsibility to have their dog(s) measured prior to running.
Chapter 3, Obstacle
Specifications and Performance Requirements
Revised:
Chapter 3, Section 3. Obstacles. (1. A Frame)
1. A-Frame: The A-Frame is constructed from two panels, the top
surface of which is constructed from wood or a wood-like substance.
The panels are 35 to 49 inches wide, and their length is
within 2 inches of 9 feet. Panels shall be of a consistent width,
flat and straight, and connected so as to eliminate gaps
large enough to fit a dog's foot or toe. The height of the A-Frame
is to be set within 1 inch of 5 foot 6 inches. The top
surface is painted and has a rough, non-slip surface (alternating
layers of sand and flat latex paint are recommended). Slats are
placed across the width of the panels to provide footing. They
are 3/8" to 1/2" thick and 3/4" to 1-1/2"
wide, and they extend to within 1/4" of the panel sides.
Slat edges shall be rounded or beveled so as not to be sharp,
and 1/4" radius is recommended. The centers of the slats
are placed at 12-inch intervals with a 2-inch tolerance, and no
slat is within 4 inches of the top of a contact zone. Contact
zones are painted on the lower 42 inches of both panels with a
1/4" tolerance. The color of the zones must contrast with
the rest of the panel, but may not be white, black or brown. Bright
yellow contact zones are recommended.
Chapter 3, Section
3. (5. Open Tunnel)
Revised:
The two openings are round with a height and width of 24 inches
plus or minus 2 inches.
Open tunnels must be made of an opaque material. To ensure
safety, the color of the material of an open tunnel may not be
black and if the tunnel is double lined, dark interiors such as
dark blue, dark brown, dark green, dark red/burgundy, and dark
purple shall not be allowed.
Chapter 3, Section
3. (6. Closed Tunnel)
Revised:
The length of the chute is such that the overall length of the
Closed Tunnel is 12 to 15 feet.
At the judge's discretion, the length of the fabric chute may
be reduced to six feet in length in severe weather conditions.
Severe weather includes rain, sleet and snow, but does not include
dew, or windy conditions.
Chapter 3, Section
3. (7. Weave Poles)
Revised:
The Weave Poles consist of 6 to 12 poles that are mounted to
a base (individual, stick-in-the ground poles may be used on
an emergency basis). The weaves shall have a fixed base with a
rigid upright, to support the pole, no greater than 4 inches high
as measured from the ground to the top of the rigid support. The
base may be no higher than 3/4 inch and no wider than 3-1/2 inches.
The base should be secured, so that the weave poles do not move
from their location on the course. The poles are 1 to 1-1/4 inches
in diameter and at least 36 inches in height, and they are uniformly
spaced at intervals of 20 to 24 inches (22 inches is recommended).
The pole shall be made out of Schedule 40 PVC or another material
that provides an equal amount of flex when set in the fixed base.
Poles must be striped with a contrasting color so as to be visible
to the dog. At a minimum, stripes must be placed at approximately
10 inches and 20 inches from the ground. Alternately, poles that
flex at the base (spring type designs) are not recommended, but
may only be used if they do not pose any safety or performance
concerns. Safety concerns include; springs that can catch a dog's
hair and poles that flex too much causing the pole to spring back
and strike the dog. Performance concerns include; poles where
dogs can "plow" the poles without a discernable weaving
motion, and poles that do not return to an upright position by
themselves after a dog has gone through them. Furthermore, a pole
that can be bent to the ground is not acceptable.
Chapter 3, Section
3. (8. Bar Jumps) (Paragraph 2)
Revised:
Constructed from wood or plastic, they must be 4 to 5 feet long
and striped for visibility. (Bars cut from PVC shall be
Schedule 40.)
Chapter 3, Section
3. (9. Panel Jump)
Add:
The support ends for the panels are recommended to be rounded
like a jump bar fitting into a jump cup. This will help keep the
panels on the uprights in windy conditions. Flat plank ends on
flat supports are discouraged.
Chapter 3, Section
3. (10. Double Bar Jump)
Revised:
Alternately, the bottom bars may be placed one under each horizontal
bar and crossed to the ground creating an "X". All
other specifications are the same as for the Bar Jump.
Chapter 3, Section
3. (12. Tire Jump)
Revised:
12. Tire Jump:
The Tire Jump consists of a tire (or a circular object that resembles
a tire) suspended from a rectangular frame.
New paragraph:
The tire shall not be displaceable off the frame. The tire
shall have a minimum depth of 2 inches and must be made of a flexible
material, such as rubber or plastic to allow some give if hit
by the dog.
Performance: Dogs must jump through the tire opening in the direction specified by the judge without knocking the tire/frame over.
Chapter 3, Section
3. (13. Window Jump)
Revised: None
Chapter 3, Section
3. (13. Broad Jump)
Revised:
13. Broad Jump:
The Broad Jump is composed of either four 8-inch sections or five
6-inch sections, and four corner markers. The actual width of
the 8-inch sections is 7 to 8 inches, and the width of the 6-inch
sections is 5 to 7 inches. The sections are constructed from a
top piece and two side pieces. The length of the sections are
between 4 and 5 feet long, and they may be of different lengths.
To improve visibility, either the center of the sections or both
ends must be marked with a color-contrasting band that is at least
3 inches wide. The sections are of varying height, and they shall
be arranged in ascending order.
Each section of a broad Jump is at least 1/2 inch higher than
the previous one, and the height of the front edge of a section
is at least 1/2 inch lower than the back edge. No portion of any
section may be lower than 3-1/2 inches or higher than 8-1/2 inches.
The length of the jump is twice the jump height of the division.
Consequently, not all the sections are used in the lower height
divisions. In those cases, the jump must be assembled with the
lowest sections. The length of the jump (within 1 inch) and
the number of sections to be used for the different divisions
are as follows:
Chapter 3, Section
3. (14. Other Jumps)
Revised:
14. Other Jumps:
Other jumps are permitted. Their uprights and bar supports must
conform to the specifications for the Bar Jump, as do the jump
heights. The top cross-piece over which the dogs jump must have
a top edge that is flat for 4 to 5 feet, be no thicker than 1-3/4
inches, and it must be supported on the bar supports so as to
be easily displaceable. At least one more crosspiece must be used,
as specified for the Bar Jump.
Performance: Dogs must jump over the top crosspiece, without
displacing it, in the direction indicated by the judge.
Chapter 4. General
Course and Trial Requirements
Revised:
Chapter 4, Section 3. Course Requirements.
The course layout for each class must be conspicuously posted
at least one-half hour before the start of the class.
Course designs must comply with the current edition of the
course design standards and be submitted for approval to the AKC
Agility Dept.
Chapter 4, Section
4. Obstacle and Jump Positions. (Paragraph 2)
Revised:
It is recommended that there be a minimum of 15 feet to 18 feet
between obstacles, with a minimum of 18 feet to a jump,
21 feet to a spread jump, and a maximum of 30 feet
between any two obstacles in sequence as measured along the
anticipated path of a 20 inch high jumping dog. Spread jumps
(Triple bar, Double Bar and Broad Jump) shall not be the first
obstacle on the course and if set up in sequence there shall
be a minimum of 21 feet between the two spread jumps. To prevent
the course from becoming spread out and too long, 25 feet to 30
feet spacing should be used only in special cases.
Chapter 4, Section
5. Approach Angles.
Revised:
Approach
angles are determined based on the anticipated path of a 20 inch
high jumping dog through the obstacles. Approach angles to obstacles
shall not exceed the following, with additional consideration
for safety, based on the obstacle being approached and the running
surface.
- All Novice Classes - Generally not exceeding 90 degrees, but
must not exceed two times at 135 degrees.
- All Open Classes - Generally not exceeding 135 degrees, but
must not exceed two times at 180 degrees.
- All Excellent Classes - Generally not exceeding 180 degrees,
but must not exceed two times at 270 degrees.
Chapter 4, Section
10. Leashes. (Paragraph 1).
Revised:
Handlers shall be allowed to bring their dog to the start line
on leash. Handlers shall comply with the judges instructions for
being ready to start their run, having their dog off leash and
under control in a timely manner. Dogs shall not be faulted
for the act of playing tug on the leash, nor for going to or picking
up a leash laid in the ring (usually laid after the last obstacle
or near the ring exit).
Chapter 4, Section
12. Handling Aids.
Revised:
Food and toys are not permitted in the course area and handlers
are not permitted to use or have in their possession while
running the course, whistles, stopwatches, leashes, fanny
packs or other handling/training aids.
Chapter 5. General
Scoring Criteria
Revised:
Chapter 5, Section 4. Item c. Pause Table Faults.
- Leaving the table prior to completing the prescribed sit or
down position for 5 consecutive seconds. A 5-point deduction
per occurrence and the dog must come back and finish the table
with the 5-second count started anew.
- A dog that breaks the sit or down position but does not leave
the table incurs no penalty fault other than the time it takes
to restart the 5-second count from the beginning once the dog
has reassumed the correct position.
- Anticipating the count (i.e.: a dog is released or releases
itself immediately before or during the judge's command of "Go").
A 5-point deduction is incurred and the dog should not
return to the table.
Chapter 5, Section
4. Item d. Outside Assistance.
Revised:
Interference or outside assistance that aids or is intended to
aid the performance of a singular dog or handler. Faults shall
be at the Judge's discretion from a 5-point deduction to
elimination.
Chapter 5, Section
4. Item e. Failure to Control.
New:
Dogs are
to be under the handler's control when leaving the ring (either
on leash or under verbal control), in close proximity to the handler
and responsive to the handler's commands. For safety purposes
the handler shall place the dog on leash as soon as possible upon
completing the course. At the discretion of the judge, failure
to control the dog upon exiting shall result in a deduction of
5 points to elimination. Each 5-point penalty assessed shall be
recorded as a refusal.
Chapter 5, Section
5. Item 10. Mandatory Elimination (NQ).
Revised:
Contact between the handler and the dog that aids
the performance of the dog.

Chapter 8. Preferred
Agility Classes Standard and Jumpers With Weaves
New:
Chapter 8, Section 1. Purpose
These
classes afford an opportunity for a greater variety of dogs, and
their handlers to participate in the sport of agility. Owners/Handlers
have the choice of entering the Preferred Classes with its modified
standards as listed in this chapter, over those standards listed
in Chapters 5, 6 and 7.
Chapter 8, Section
2. Standards.
The Preferred
Classes are subject to all standards as listed in the Regulations
for Agility Trials, except as modified in this chapter.
Chapter 8, Section
3. Eligibility.
The Preferred
Classes are open to any dog eligible to enter an agility trial
as defined in Chapter 1, Section 3. The same Regulations apply
for divisions A and B as those described for the regular titling
classes.
The owner may choose to enter the Preferred Standard Agility Class
and Preferred Jumpers With Weaves Class in lieu of entering the
Regular Standard Agility Class and the Regular Jumpers With Weaves
Class at any trial. The dog must be entered only in Preferred
Classes or in Regular Classes, with no crossover between them
being allowed at the same set of trials.
Owners/dogs are allowed to switch back and forth between the Preferred
Classes and the Regular Classes, but not at the same set of trials.
Chapter 8, Section
4. Classes.
The Preferred
Classes and associated titles are:
Preferred Standard
Agility Classes
Novice Agility Preferred - NAP
Open Agility Preferred - OAP
Agility Excellent "A" Preferred- AXP
Master Agility Excellent "B" Preferred - MXP
Preferred Jumpers
With Weaves Classes
Novice Jumpers With Weaves Preferred - NJP
Open Jumpers With Weaves Preferred - OJP
Excellent Jumpers With Weaves "A" Preferred - AJP
Master Excellent Jumpers With Weaves "B" Preferred -
MJP
A club holding an agility trial must offer all of the Preferred
Classes and Preferred Class levels equivalent to the Regular Classes
and Regular Class levels offered at the trial. It is highly recommended
that the Preferred Classes be run concurrently with the Regular
Classes using the same course as the Regular Classes to minimize
exhibitor walkthroughs, judge's briefings, and jump height changes.
All dogs entering the Preferred Classes for the first time must enter the Novice level in both the Preferred Standard Agility Class and the Preferred Jumpers With Weaves Class regardless of their previous title level in the Regular Classes (Standard and JWW). There is no grandfathering of titles from the Regular Classes to the Preferred Classes or from the Preferred Classes to the Regular Classes. These classes are separate titling programs and in both cases the dogs must start at the Novice level.
In order to acquire
a Preferred Agility title, a dog must earn the following number
of qualifying scores per Preferred Class level, under at least
two (2) different judges.
(See Exhibit B for Table of Qualifying Scores)
Chapter 8, Section
5. Recognized Achievement.
The highest
level of achievement in the Preferred Classes is the Master Agility
Excellent Preferred (MXP) and the Master Excellent Jumpers With
Weaves Preferred (MJP). Recognizing consistency and longevity,
for the Preferred Classes only, the AKC will record and add to
any dog's title, the number 2 for achieving 20 qualifying scores
in the Master Excellent Preferred Classes. There is no limit to
this achievement for example; a dog with 30 MXP qualifying scores,
and 40 MJP qualifying scores would have the titles of MXP3 and
MJP4.
Chapter 8, Section
6. Height Divisions.
The following
jump height divisions shall be used in all Preferred classes:
4 Inches: For dogs 10 inches and under at the withers.
8 Inches: For dogs 14 inches and under at the withers.
12 Inches: For dogs 18 inches and under at the withers.
16 Inches: For dogs 22 inches and under at the withers.
20 Inches: For dogs over 22 inches at the withers.
Chapter 8, Section
7. Obstacle Specifications and Performance Requirements.
Refer
to Chapter 3, Section 3 except as changed below:
Pause Table: The Pause Table shall be set at 12 inches
for the 4, 8, and 12-inch jump heights, and 16 inches for the
16 and 20 inch jump heights.
Bar Jumps: Bar Jumps are to be set at 4, 8, 12, 16, and
20 inches. For 4 inch jumping dogs a second (lower) bar is not
required, but if provided, it should be placed under the top bar
or directly adjacent to a ground bar that is directly under the
top bar.
Double Bar Jump: Set the Double Bar Jump at 4 inches high
and 4 inches wide for the 4-inch jump height class.
Triple Bar Jump: The Triple Bar Jump for the 4-inch jump
height class is to be set with the first bar on the ground approximately
4 inches in front of the back bar, which should be placed at 4
inches high. For 4-inch jumping dogs this jump will be set typically
using two bars only. Dogs must clearly jump both bars for successful
performance.
The Broad Jump: The Broad Jump shall be set as one board
(the lowest) for the 4-inch jumping dogs.
Tire Jump: The Tire shall be set at 4 inches or as close
as possible given the construction of the tire.
Chapter 8, Section
8. Scoring Criteria.
The scoring
for the Preferred Classes shall be equal to that of its equivalent
level in the Regular Classes, as listed in Chapters 6 and 7, with
the exception of the Standard Course Times.
Standard Agility
Preferred Classes
Novice Agility Preferred (NAP) = Novice A and B Agility (NA)
Open Agility Preferred (OAP) = Open Agility Class (OA)
Agility Excellent "A" Preferred Class (AXP) = Excellent
A Agility Class (AX)
Master Agility Excellent "B" Preferred Class (MXP) =
Excellent B Agility Class (MX)
Jumpers With
Weaves Preferred Classes
Novice Jumpers With Weaves Preferred (NJP) = Novice A and B JWW
(NAJ)
Open Jumpers With Weaves Preferred (OJP) = Open JWW (OAJ)
Excellent "A" Jumpers With Weaves Preferred (AJP) =
Excellent A JWW (AXJ)
Master Excellent "B" Jumpers With Weaves Preferred (MJP)
= Excellent B JWW (MXJ)
Course Times:
The
Standard Course Times (SCT's) for the Preferred Classes will be
the same as the Standard Course Times for the Regular Classes,
as listed in Chapters 6 and 7, plus five (5) additional seconds
as shown in the chart below.
(See Exhibit C for Chart of Course Times)
Example: An Open Standard Agility course that is 160 yards long for the 20 and 24-inch Regular Class would have a SCT of (64 seconds plus 5 seconds for the table) = 69 seconds, based on Chapter 6, Section 3. In the Open Agility Preferred Class the course yardage for the 16 and 20-inch class would also be 160 yards with a SCT of (69 seconds based on the Regular Class + 5 seconds) = 74 seconds.
See EXHIBIT A - CHAPTER 6, STANDARD AGILITY CLASSES - EQUIPMENT CHART
EXHIBIT B - QUALIFYING SCORES
In order to acquire a Preferred Agility title, a dog must earn the following number of qualifying scores per Preferred Class level under at least two (2) different judges.
| Preferred Standard Agility Class | Qualifying Scores Required | Preferred JWW Class | Qualifying Scores Required | Scores Obtained From |
| NAP | 3 | NJP | 3 | Novice Preferred |
| OAP | 3 | OJP | 3 | Open Preferred |
| AXP | 3 | AJP | 3 | Ex. A Preferred |
| MXP | 10 | MJP | 10 | Ex. B Preferred |
EXHIBIT C - STANDARD COURSE TIMES
Course Times: The Standard Course Times (SCT's) for the Preferred Classes will be the same as the Standard Course Times for the Regular Classes as listed in Chapters 6 and 7,plus five (5) additional seconds as shown in the chart below.
