LOW 550 is a national jumping cup competition for handlers wishing to compete in a prestigious qualifier at the same height as the Lower Height Option at KC Agility tests. This Special sponsored event is open to all dogs in the Large height category (ie measuring over 430mm at the withers) and with hurdles set at 550mm.
There will be 10 qualifying heats held around the country, each one split into two parts for Combined Grades 1-4 and Combined Grades 5-7. All dogs will run over the same course and shows have the option of running the parts together or separately. The top two dogs and handlers from each part will qualify for a similarly split Final taking place at Prestbury Park Championship and Premier Agility Show in September 2017, at the picturesque Cirencester Park in Gloucestershire.

Eligibility For Classes
In the following definitions of classes First Prizes or other prize wins are those gained in standard
classes at any Kennel Club licensed Championship Agility, Premier Agility, Open Agility or Limited
Agility Shows (i.e. Limited Agility Shows, special classes and invitational events excepted). Only a
first place with a clear round completed within the course timeset by the judge will count towards
grade progression. .Standard classes may be scheduled for Agility Shows, as Agility classes or
Jumping classes. All standard classes must contain the Weaving Poles obstacle. Standard Agility
classes must contain the following elements: “A Ramp”, Dog Walk and See-Saw. With this proviso
classes are defined as follows:
Class Structure. A Class may either be held as a Graded Class or a Combined Class. A Graded
Class may be scheduled for one or more consecutive Grades with separate results and awards
issued for each grade. A Combined Class may be scheduled for more than one consecutive grade
with one overall set of results.
Progression Progression from each Grade will require one Agility win or three Jumping wins in
standard classes at that grade, except that progression from Grade 5 will require 3 wins at Grade
5 one of which must be an agility class. Progression from Grade 6 will require 4 wins at Grade 6,
two of which must be agility classes. Results from Combined Classes will only count towards
progression from thedog’s current grade.
Lower Height Option. Societies may offer the Lower Height Option to all dogs in that height category
and may be offered at all grades. It is to be run as part of any Standard class as defined in the
regulations and must be clearly identified in the schedule. When the Lower Height Option is
scheduled a dog may only be entered at either the Full Height or the Lower Height and it cannot
compete at a different height in any other class at that competition, including special classes. For
these purposes a competition shall be defined as all classes covered within the same schedule. Each
relevant class will have two height with a change part way through to higher/lower the jump heights
and competitors must run at their entered height. The order in which the heights will run must be
detailed on the ring cards/ring plan. There will be only one course walking at the start of the class. In
a class where the Lower Height Option is available show organisers may offer one set of awards by
combining the results of each height or may offer separate awards for each height category.
Points Progression At the handler’s discretion a dog may progress up to Grade 4 by winning 100
points at each grade, using the Agility Warrant point’s scheme, Regulation K3.c refers, except that
there is no requirement for a minimum number of agility points. If this method of progression is
selected, the handler must ensure the Show Secretary signs the dog’s Agility Record Book at the
first show entered at the higher grade. There is no time limit on this progression, however, once a
dog has progressed, it cannot return to a previous grade. Progression on points must be done prior
to the closing date of entries. It is not possible to change grade on points once the entries have
closed.
Standard Classes.Only first prizes and points gained in standard classes at Kennel Club Licensed
Agility Shows may be used for progression through the classes. (A dog is only eligible for one grade)
In defining the eligibility of the owner or handler for Grade 1, the three jumping wins and points
progression referred to in the definition apply only to one dog and not an accumulation of dogs.

Special Classes
Societies may schedule classes other than those defined above as “Special classes”.The eligibility
for “Special” classes must be defined by the Society and included in the schedule. The word “Special” must be included in the title of the class. Where special classes are classified for older and/or inexperienced dogs, the height of the hurdles and the A-ramp, and the length of the long jump, may be reduced below the dimensions.
Marking for special classes may deviate from marking for standard classes, but must be specified in the schedule. Wins, places and clear rounds in special classes will not count towards agility warrant points or grade progression at Kennel Club shows.
DOGS in Cars on Hot Days
Your dog is vulnerable and at risk during hot weather and the Kennel Club offers the following guidance to help
guide you through the do’s and don’ts travelling to and whilst at KC licensed events.
• When travelling to a show please take a moment to consider whether the route to the show is on a busy
holiday
route and leave earlier to avoid increased time in traffic jams.
• If your vehicle is not air-conditioned seriously consider whether travelling to the show is a good idea at all.
• The vehicle should be as fully ventilated as possible, and plenty of stops should be taken, with lots of water
available to drink.
• Ensure your dog is not sitting in full sunlight. There should be plenty of free flowing air around the dog.
• When at the show, never leave your dog in the vehicle.
• Keep the dog in the shade – take your own shade for example a large umbrella and always have plenty of
