Dogs/handlers that compete under other organisations are required to make INITIAL entry to J.J.A.A. shows at the appropriate level as follows:

Dogs which currently compete in Grade 4 or above (KC) by virtue of handlers wins with another dog may enter at one level below – PRIMARY.

INITIAL entry levels are:

KC Grade 1 = INTRODUCTORY KC Grade 2 = PRIMARY

KC Grade 3* = PRIMARY or NOVICE KC Grade 4 = NOVICE

KC Grade 5* = NOVICE or GRADUATE KC Grade 6 = GRADUATE

KC Grade 7 = MASTERS

*Grades 3 & 5 have a choice of entry level.

All NEW DOGS may enter INTRODUCTORY Level.

Competitors may enter as Pay on the Day NFC (providing the show is not full) in any appropriate level but may not compete higher than the dogs specified height/level

VETERAN – for dogs of 7 years of age and over. No veteran dog will be permitted to jump higher than 17.75ins. Once a dog enters J.J.A.A. Veteran it will be

expected to remain there for the remainder of its agility career and will not be permitted in future shows at Introductory, Primary, Novice, Graduate or Masters. Veteran dogs must jump at least ONE height lower than the dogs measured height. Status for all J.J.A.A. shows is that effective at 1st October or initial entry level if entering first J.J.A.A. show after that date. Dogs may retain their status for the entire show season (1st October to September 30th), if the handler wishes. J.J. will keep a record of results during the season. At the end of season the top performing dogs will be promoted to next level, for the following season.

Help!!!!

A condition of entering a J.J. show brings a requirement that all

competitors give some time, to assist at a ring. It is one of the things you are agreeing to when you sign the entry form. If you do not wish to help then please do not enter a J.J. show.

All competitors will be allocated a time slot when they will be required to make themselves available at a ring. This will be marked on your ring cards. Each ring will have a Ring Manager who will be responsible for allocating tasks and arranging relief so that all can enjoy their dogs. If everyone does their bit, then no one should need to work more than an hour or so! No one is expected to forgo running their dog in the process of helping.

JUMPING JACKS “Dog of the Year”

J.J.A.A. records all results from all shows and compiles performance league tables in the categories of Introductory, Primary, Novice, Graduate & Masters. Trophies will be awarded to the leading Agility Dog of the Year in jump heights (Maxi), (Medium), (Mini,Tiny,Micro) in each category.

The leading dogs & handlers from the tables will also qualify for the J.J.A.A. Grand Prix Tournament Finals at the late August show. There will be separate Finals for Jumping and Agility. At the Finals show there will be a last chance opportunity for all to qualify for the Grand Prix Finals.

Points are accumulated for performances from all J.J. shows during the season including any Winter Series which count towards qualification for the J.J.A.A. Grand Prix Finals. There are also Trophies for the leading points scoring dogs that will be presented at the Grand Prix Finals weekend. No points will be awarded for Pairs, Team, invitation, demonstration or non-scheduled Pay on the Day classes.
