Encouraging young handlers of the
future
 The
Young Kennel Club (YKC) goes from strength to strength with membership increasing and more
activities becoming available to members. It exists to prepare young people for becoming
responsible dog owners of the future and to provide a pool of trained and motivated young
people who will themselves inherit the sport in the years to come.
YKC Agility &
Jumping Certificates
The Kennel Club would like to remind its members that,
at a meeting held on 19 December 2006, the Young Kennel Club Committee approved the following
amendment to the qualification dates of the YKC Agility and Jumping certificates.
Certificates are issued to members whose dogs achieve a
placed clear round in any agility or jumping class held at a Kennel Club licensed event. All
members who have achieved an agility or jumping certificate within the qualifying period are
then invited to take place in the Birmingham Agility Final or Jumping Semi Final each year.
The qualification period dates have been amended to the
below:
1 July 2006 until 31 May 2007
Any member who has achieved an agility or jumping
certificate during this period will be invited to the Birmingham Agility Final and/or Jumping
Semi Final in 2007.
From thereon the qualification year will run each
consequent year from:
1 June until 31 May
Members aged 18 years and over are now no longer
eligible to take part in the Birmingham Agility Final or Jumping Semi Final so will not be able
to apply for certificates.
Members aged 18 years and above will now be able to
take part in the Senior Agility competition. In order to enter, you must collect points at all
agility shows, including junior classes in an Agility Record Book.
