2026 EVENT DATES:

June 28, July 26, Aug 30, Sept 27

Events are held monthly from June until September.

Standard, Gamblers and Jumpers will alternate with Standard, Snooker and Steeplechase on K9 Kup Sundays.

Modified AAC Starter judging will be used to make it easier for beginner dogs and handlers. For example, refusals are not scored, and obstacle repetition is scored as a wrong course.

K9 Kup is a team competition, with 15 teams, each of which has a captain. Each team has 8 participating dogs, and the top 3 dogs on each team score for the team in each class.

Teams are split into three divisions (blue, green and pink) that will run concurrently in 3 rings.
