Announcement from AKC regarding temporary change to titling requirements:
To better assist clubs and exhibitors during this unusual time in our sports, the Obedience, Rally and Agility departments received approval by the AKC Board of Directors to change the number of judges required for awarding some titles in obedience, rally and agility. Due to the travel restrictions and other local regulations impacting the country from COVID-19, many clubs are struggling to bring in judges from outside their area, plus exhibitors are looking to stay close to home. This change will eliminate the requirement that two different judges are required for the titles shown below that require three qualifying scores (legs) to earn the titles.
The change is effective retroactively to July 1, 2020 and will be in effect through December 31, 2020. The Regulations suspension will be revisited at the end of the year.
For all of the titles listed at the bottom of this announcement exhibitors may earn three qualifying scores (legs) under the same judge through December 31, 2020.
Agility — 18 titles
Novice level: NA – NAP – NAJ – NJP – NF – NFP
Open level: OA – OAP – OAJ – OJP – OF – OFP
Excellent level: AX – AXP – AXJ – AJP – XF – XFP
Obedience — 10 titlesNovice level: CD – PCD
Open level: CDX – PCDX Utility level: UD – PUTD Beginner Novice: BN Graduate Novice: GN Graduate Open: GO Versatility: VER
Rally— 4 titlesNovice: RN
Intermediate: RI
Advanced: RA
Excellent: RE
