Dog Agility

Since 2009 the Dog Agility Show has been kindly organised by Carn Brea Agility Club and their members. The judging starts at 8.30am and will continue throughout the day. It is a Limited Agility Show held under Kennel Club regulations. The entry is limited to 100 dogs of all shapes and sizes. Handlers and their dogs come from all over the Southwest to compete and we regularly see competitors from as far afield as Bristol.

Visitors should take advantage of the seating around the ring to give them a prime view of the boundless enthusiasm of the dogs as they literally bounce around the courses. The excitement is palpable and it is very clear that they enjoy taking part just as much as we enjoy watching them.

You will see small, medium and large dogs running over different heights. There are two different types of class; Agility, which contains the large contact equipment (so called because the dog should make contact with the rubber coated contacts) and Jumping, which excludes the contact equipment.

There are seven grades to progress through in dog agility starting with the less experienced Grade 1 right up to the championship Grade 7. Our Show caters for all of these grades so it’s guaranteed to be a day full of wagging tails and fun.

If you have a question that isn’t answered in either the schedule or online entry information (where appropriate) please email the section secretary, Mel Small, carnbreacommittee@gmail.com or call on 01209 215058 & 07990 913623.
