A new version of the rule book has been posted. Very little has changed and those changes are underscored. The Rule Advisories have been integrated into the new rule book. Information about Judge Workshops are also included. There are now requirements for clubs and judges to stay current. These requirements do not need to be met in 2019. Judges and clubs will be reviewed for compliance after the end of 2020.

You will learn about rules, philosophies, how to deal with issues, and much more. You will also gain some experience how the games are played, how they are judged, how they are scored, how titles are earned, etc.

Is your dog aging or does he have a permanent and stable injury? If so, you are eligible to enter VETERAN class of any game where a tunnel is not a required element. Veteran class has all the rats but they are all hidden no more than one bale high or one bale in from the edge of a structure. This is a great division for the dog that still loves to play but is a bit wobbly on their feet.
