Title: Onwards and Upwards for Dobbie
Post by: crazyspaniels on May 10, 2008, 08:02:49 PM

well the wee man has done it again, only won into grade 4 in Feb and thats him into Grade 5 after winning grade 4 jumping followed by a grade 4 agility class.
He is a wee star and I am so proud of him cos he has come from a junkie's flat to Grade 5 and a fully seasoned beating dog, and he is only turning 3 at the end of this month  :D :D

not from today, but it sums him up, always happy and a wee ray of sunshine  :luv: :luv: :luv:

Well done to both of you! :D

How do the grades in agility work? I'm going to start competing with Charlie this summer.  :luv: Do you have to win a class to move up?

What fantastic news I am so pleased for you both!

In relation to moving up through the grades you can do so by winning classes - either 1 agility or 3 jumping classes.  Up to grade 5 you can progress on points - you get 20 points for an agility win down to 10 for 10th place and 2 for a clear round.  In jumping rounds it is 10 points for a first place down to 1 for a clear round.  You will need 75 points to progress this way.

Yikes, agility has changed a LOT in the 2yrs I've not been doing it!! I have a lot of learning to do!!
