UKI does it again 🎉
More FUN 🤩 coming soon!!!
Introducing UKI DASH Tournaments & the UKI DASH Open
UKI is launching a new series of tournaments designed for handlers who love flowing, fast courses with streamlined handling. The UKI DASH (Dog Agility Streamlined Handling) Tournaments kick off in 2026 with 10 tournaments across North America.
What Makes UKI DASH Different?
• Speedstakes-inspired courses focused on jumps, tunnels, and smooth, logical lines
• Open to all UKI levels, with courses designed at the UKI Senior level
• Two main event formats: the Steeplechase DASH Challenge and the DASH Triathlon
• Steeplechase DASH Challenge rounds based on Speedstakes and Steeplechase courses
• DASH Triathlon featuring a Jumping round, a Fusion Steeplechase round (including an A-frame and teeter), and a Speedstakes round
Winners of the DASH tournaments will earn Byes into the US Open & West Coast Open Speedstakes Finals, along with Round 2 National Byes at the US Open & Canadian Open. They will also receive Byes for the newly announced UKI DASH Open in 2027.
Coming Summer 2027: The UKI DASH
• A national event open to all UKI levels
• Two main events with seven rounds and two finals
• Steeplechase DASH Challenge & Final: Three rounds of Speedstakes & Steeplechase classes, leading to a Speedstakes Final
