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 course time set by the judge will count towards grade progression.
Agility classes to include contact obstacles and Jumping classes where there are not contact obstacles. 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 three jumping wins and
points progression referred to in the definition apply to only one dog and not an accumulation of dogs.
Grade 1 (Elementary)

Jumping Class and a final round of Agility to be held at the same Show.
Special Classes
Societies may schedule classes other than those defined above as “Special Classes”. The eligibility for “Special” Classes must be defined by
the Society and included in the schedule. The word “Special” must be included in the title of the class. Where classes are classified for
older and/or inexperienced dogs, the height of the hurdles and A-Ramp, and the length of the long jump, may be reduced below the
dimensions specified in these regulations, in which case such dimensions must be included in the class definition in the show schedule.
Marking for special classes may deviate from marking for standard classes, but must be specified in the schedule. Wins, places and clear
rounds in special classes will not count towards agility warrant points or grade progression at Kennel Club Shows.

*****IMPORTANT NOTICES*****
Welfare of Dogs
An exhibitor (or competitor) whose dog is entered at a Kennel Club licensed event should take all reasonable steps to ensure the needs of
their dog(s) are met, and should not knowingly put their dogs health and welfare at risk by any action, default, omission or otherwise. A
breach of this regulation may be referred to the General Committee for disciplinary action under Kennel Club Rules and Regulations.
Dogs in Hot Cars
Your dog is vulnerable and AT RISK if left in a vehicle in high temperatures and even on days considered as slightly warm. Please take care
of your dog.
If your dog is found to be at risk forcible entry to your vehicle may be necessary without liability for damage caused.
Cancellation Policy due to Inclement Weather
The British weather has been kinder to dog lovers this year with fewer shows needing to be cancelled or postponed due
to inclement weather. No event may be postponed should the original event not be able to be held due to unforeseen
circumstances; the event must be cancelled. If the society wishes to reschedule the show/trial this may be done by
applying for a new licence, issuing a new schedule etc, and entries from the original date may not be carried forward.
It is hoped that this will safeguard competitors as they will not be in a position of losing entry fees if a show/trial was
to be postponed to a date on which they were unable to attend.
With the increasing frequency of show cancellations due to inclement weather, Weardale Dog Training club have the following cancellation
policy.
1.
2.
In the event that the show is cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances, the society will refund fees, less reasonably incurred
expenses. If the show processor has the provisions to do so, competitors will be refunded in the manner in which they entered
the show, but in any event the society will refund fees within 3 months of the show date to all those who had entered and
requested a refund within 1 month of the show date. (By 20th August 2014)
In calculating this all reasonable costs will be taken into account.
ANNEX A
THE KENNEL CLUB
OLYMPIA AGILITY STAKES REGULATIONS 2014
All events must be judged under the appropriate Kennel Club regulations H & H(1) in force at the time of the event. Competitors entering
any competition will be deemed to have agreed to abide by these regulations.
All heats must take place at Kennel Club licensed shows and the class name in the schedule should replicate exactly the name of the
competition as stated in these regulations.
All Kennel Club supported competitions should be judged using standard marking.
If the entry for the heat exceeds the Kennel Club limit for a judge in a day, then the class will be equally split. Qualifiers and reserves
from that heat will be taken in equal proportion from each part, giving the total number originally required from that heat (except where
individual competition rules state differently). Rosettes and awards remain unchanged if the heat is split.
Dogs entered in any heats must be eligible for the competition entered and judges retain the right to check the height of any dog or ask to
see the height stated in the Kennel Club Record Book.
The handler that qualifies a dog for the Quarter-Final/Semi-Final/Final will be the handler that competes, Handler substitutions not
allowed.
All winners of the Olympia Grand Finals will be invited to compete in the following year’s Quarter-Finals /Semi-Finals without qualifying
through the usual procedure via heats. For the Novice winner this will be dependant on the dog still being eligible for grades 3 – 5 on the
date of entries closing for the Kennel Club International Agility Festival
(These rules would be amended if any changes are made to Kennel Club agility regulations during the course of the competition year).
THE KENNEL CLUB OLYMPIA LARGE DOG AGILITY STAKES
Supported by Skinner’s
Competitors may enter more than one dog in a heat. Competitors may qualify more than one dog for the Quarter-Finals and also the SemiFinal at Olympia, handlers may qualify a maximum of 2 dogs for the Olympia Grand Finals (highest placed in the Semi-Finals).
Once a dog has qualified for the Quarter-Final, further heats may be entered for competition although any placings in these further heats
will not affect the dog’s eligibility for the Quarter-Finals/Semi-Finals.
The first five previously unqualified placed dogs from each heat will go forward to the Quarter-Finals at the Kennel Club International
Agility Festival held annually in August, the first thirty six dogs from this Quarter-Final will qualify for the Semi-Final at the London

The Margaret Bill Memorial Trophy
Margaret gave very generously of her time to Weardale DAC and before that Otley DTS, being club secretary of both clubs, taking training
and being heavily involved in the organisation of the club shows.
She started doing agility 1996, initially competing with her Welsh Springers, then getting her collies Jess, Zoe, Ghillie and Skye. Zoe took
Margaret to the Olympia Senior Semi-finals - an achievement of which she was rightly very proud, especially as she was in her 70s. She
battled long and hard against her failing health, but when Margaret's illness meant she was no longer able to compete in agility, she still
came to Club and went to shows, enjoying watching her fellow club members train and compete.
Margaret is going to be very greatly missed by Weardale DAC and by the very many friends she made in the agility world.
This will be presented at approximately 3pm on Saturday 19th July 2014 to the top grade 3
dog from classes 2 and 4 combined from that day.
Points will be awarded as follows for clear rounds only
