Total points required at each level to qualify: Novice 50 (30 obstacle points + 20 Send bonus = 50), Open 55 (35 + 20), and Excellent 60 (40 + 20). There is no penalty for repeating jumps or tunnels. Weave poles and contacts, however, may only be repeated if faulted.

A score of 70 or higher is considered a Qualifying Score in all classes of 4-H agility. It is critical that the equipment used in agility be safe for the dogs and handlers.

As the world's largest registry of purebred dogs, the AKC uses our registration statistics to rank the most popular breeds of the past year. And for the first time in history, 2022 found the French Bulldog taking the No. 1 spot. This ends the Labrador Retriever's 31-year reign as the most popular dog breed in America.

The event offers over $150,000 in prize money, the largest of any U.S. show. The Best in Show winner wins $50,000. This show celebrates the heart and soul of the sport of purebred dogs by awarding the AKC Breeder of the Year Award.

What do I enter—Novice A, Novice B or Novice Preferred. Novice A is for a handler that has not put a title on a dog in AKC agility. So if you do not have a title in any other class you go in Novice A. Everyone else enters Novice B.

Elimination will follow three refusals/run by, dog taking the wrong course, proceeding to the next obstacle before satisfactory completion of the preceding obstacle, if the dog is out of control, runs out of the ring, fouls the ring, is aggressive, handled or trained by the handler. Elimination and out.

Qualifying scores

As long as a run is under the SCT and free of faults, it is a qualifying run (also called a “Q”). In higher levels of agility competitions you need several Qs. In AKC agility for example, QQs are required to reach the level of Master Agility Champion.
