"What IS Split Pairs"???

The split pairs is a course of obstacles 'split' into two sections.

One section is jumping and one agility- One dog will run the Agility section and one will run the jumping. Should you choose the steady, accurate dog for the contacts section... will you be fast enough to qualify or win?

The courses will be smooth and flowing, to award accuracy and speed. Quick and neat changeovers should come easy with thought put into the changeover box and direction of dogs travel.

All heights compete against each other- the smaller dogs over toy height and the large dogs over Standard height. Can little beat large? They have done at the 'Team Dash' Final for the last two years...

1)      The class will be "open only to all dogs of all UKA levels and heights".

2)      Dogs of different heights can be mixed within the pair as follows: Toy/ Toy, Toy/ Midi, Midi/ Midi dogs can be paired; these dogs will run over Toy height. Standard/ Standard, Standard/ Maxi, Maxi/ Maxi dogs can be paired; these dogs will run over Standard height. All pairs/ heights/ levels will be competing against each other.

3)      There will be four qualifying heats. The top four pairs from each heat will qualify for the Final. Once a pair has qualified for the final, they may run for competition in further heats. If they again are placed top four then the next placed pair from that heat will be invited to the final.

4)      Handlers may enter more than one pair. Dogs may only compete in one pair in any heat  

5)      The course will consist of two separate sections, one agility, and one jumping. One dog will complete the Jumping section and the other dog will complete the Agility section. The handlers must elect which dog is to do which before commencing the run. There will be a baton change between the first and second handler which must take place behind a line, failure to do so will incur 100 faults. Time and faults will be added together and the winning pair will be the one with the lowest time. The judges’ decision will be final.

6)      The course will consist of no more than 15 obstacles per section. The Jumping will be made up of jumps and tunnels. The Agility section should contain jumps, tunnels, Dogwalk, Seesaw & Aframe. The weaves MUST be in either one or both sections. Sections should not intertwine excessively. The courses should be fast and flowing.

7)      The changeover box, and jumps leading into it, should be set, as to allow for a smooth, fast changeover without much deviation from the handlers path.

8)      If a dog is eliminated, it will incur 100 faults. The dog running the agility course must always run first.

9)      Only handlers and dogs originally entered may compete at the final. Any changes are at the organisers’ discretion.
