Adams Agility Qualifiers
News and information...
Adams Derby Name Change
The first Adams Derby was set up in 2001 by Chris and Sandra Adams. Over
the years, it has been a very successful qualifier which has seen many of the top dogs in the
country take part in the Adams Derby final when they were eligible for Grades 3-5. This Final
is loved by everyone who takes part and always gets the crowd going and is nail biting right
until the last dog runs.
This year
the Adams Small / Medium Derby (formerly Dovedale Speed & Power) has
been renamed. It will now be known the Adams Dinky Derby and will be held
under the same rules as the Large Adams Derby except that it will be open to Small
and Medium dogs.
1. The first section of the competition will contain the following pieces of
equipment: A Frame, Dogwalk, Seesaw, a rising spread jump and a long jump. The placement of
these obstacles is at the Judge’s discretion. The first section is un-timed and dogs must
successfully complete this section without faults before proceeding to the second section of
the competition. Dogs with faults will not be allowed to proceed to the second section.
2. The second section of the course is to be set as a fast flowing speed course
which is timed and will contain no more than fourteen but no less than twelve single pole
hurdles plus a set of twelve weaves.
There will be
separate awards and finals for all three
heights.

The Adams Jumping Cup
When the Adams team first started to think about
introducing a new final in 2012, they thought long and hard about what sort of qualifiers were missing,
and that's how they decided to host a jumping competition. While there are lots of Agility finals around
there are very few Jumping ones that standard Kennel Club classes. This means that all
dogs get a good attempt at qualifying for a Final even if they are not as good at Agility as they
are jumping.
The 4th Final will be held at the Adams Agility Show on 30
August 2015and judged by Charlie Wyatt. The sponsor will be Paws Trading.
The Qualifier is open
to dogs eligible for Grades 1 3 and – 7 and run over Large height. This is a Standard Kennel Class held
under KC rules. The top four handlers from each heat will be invited to go through to the
Final, sponsored by Paws Trading, which this year will be held at the Adams Agility show on 30 August 2015. A heat would need to
be split into two parts if the number of dogs entered exceeded KC maximums. This would mean a
duplicate of prizes with the first two handlers and dogs in each part going forward.
Rosettes
will be placed to 15th and trophies to 3rd place.

There is nothing more most people
love than watching the Anysise dogs having fun and getting to stretch out on a fast open
course, so in 2013 Adams created a special competition just for them.

who don't
compete for whatever reason in Standard KC classes.
The heats are run throughout
the Winter series and the
early show season with the Final being held at the Adams show on 16 May, this year judged
by Carol Disley.
