Calling all rising stars of the agility world...
 The
Agility Challenge celebrates much of what is good in agility and is one of the
'must try' competitions on the agility calendar for G1-4 new handlers and
experienced competitors with new dogs.
Launched
in 2009 at Bretford DTS as an Easter 'Egg'stravaganza, 2022 will be the 14th
time the Agility Challenge is being held. It was not held in 2020 due to the
pandemic. For someone, it will be lucky!
The competition started
as a public exhibition with a 'large show atmosphere' for Grades 1-3 dogs, the
rising stars of agility. With changes to KC grade progression, it now is open to
both new G1-4 Large handlers and those with second/third dogs.
Initially, heats were
kept close to the location of the Final to ensure that finalists did not have to
travel too far. Nowadays there are heats spread across the country.
With chances to qualify across the
country, 50 partnerships - the top five from each of
our host events, will be invited to the Agility Challenge Grand
Final at the Malvern Autumn Show on Sunday, 24th September 2023. It's a good day
out for family and friends
