K9 Kup Mission Statement:

K9 Kup is to be a learning experience for:

1) Handlers
2) Dogs
3) Volunteers (Timers, scribes, gatekeepers, etc.)
4) Judges

To provide the participants, human and canine, with an AAC Starters trial-like experience.

To promote an expectation of fun and good sportsmanship, with a focus on learning not winning. K9 Kup is rooted in the values of the AAC.

To encourage responsible dog ownership and safe participation, and to educate the public on the sport of agility, as rooted in the Paws4Fun mission statement.

Paws4Fun Mission Statement:

The purpose of the Club is to promote the competitive and recreational sport of canine agility through training, demonstrations, fun matches, social events, and sanctioned trials; to encourage responsible dog ownership and safe participation; and to educate the public on the sport of agility.

K9 Kup Overview:

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.
