NEW!! PREFERRED CLASS INFORMATIONThe Preferred Class is a new titling program offered by AKC starting September 1, 2002. This class offers a longer Standard Course Time and lowered jump heights. Preferred Classes will be held immediately before or immediately after the Regular Classes, on the same courses. All dogs entering the Preferred Classes for the first time must enter the Novice level in both the Preferred Standard Agility Class and the Preferred Jumpers with Weaves Class regardless of their previous title level in the Regular Classes. (Standard and JWW). There is no “grandfathering” of titles from the Regular Classes to the Preferred Classes or from the Preferred Classes to the Regular Classes. These classes are separate titling programs and in both cases the dogs must start at the Novice level. Dogs may be entered in only one (1) Standard Agility class and one (1) Jumpers With Weaves Class per day, i.e. they cannot simultaneously compete in both Regular and Preferred for the same class. A dog may continue to compete at each level until they achieve a qualifying score at the next higher level. The Preferred Standard Agility Class and the Preferred JWW Class are separate titling programs and a dog may advance faster in one than the other (A dog that has achieved its NJP is eligible for and may enter the Open Jumpers With Weaves Preferred Class. The same dog must also achieve three (3) qualifying scores in the Standard Novice Agility Preferred Class before being eligible to move-up to the Standard Open Agility Preferred Class). In order to acquire a Preferred Agility title, a dog must earn the required qualifying scores per Preferred Class level under at least two (2) different judges
