News and results...

The MadSpaniels Spaniel Agility League is for all Spaniel breeds or Spaniel/Spaniel crosses, e.g. Sprockers. Your Spaniel doesn’t have to be registered. If it looks like a Spaniel, you’re in! We aim to keep this league fun, friendly and inclusive and hope everyone taking part will, too.

The MadSpaniels Agility League is running again for 2014 and there are lots of new members already. If you fancy joining in the fun, please have a look on our FB page  or our website. The league is open to all Spaniels including CKCS and all Spaniel crosses. So far we have 133 members.

Welcome to the new MadSpaniels Spaniel Agility League. After several years of being owned by and competing with our own mad spaniels in agility rings all over the country, we decided it was to to set up a league open to all Spaniels.

Points Criteria

There are two points’ scales, one for KC Open Shows and the other for all KC Limited and Unaffiliated Shows.

 Clear Rounds within course time will be 2 points

 Award Grade Categories

We wish to endeavour to be as inclusive as possible with the range of show organisations that are now available for our members to attend, and we will always attempt to cater for this.

 Height Rules

1.    On registering the dog onto the League tables the member must nominate the height that the dog is competing under.  For ease of reference we will use only Large Medium and Small. However if your dog competes at non KC shows and jumps at a different height there to his usual KC measure (for example a dog measuring KC Large, but UKA Standard), these points are still able to be claimed.

2. The height category that the dog is registered at the beginning of each League year will stand until the next League year  

3. League Award Categories = 3 Heights Large, Medium & Small. Dogs must be registered into one of these heights categories only, even if they jump higher or lower elsewhere.

League Grade Categories

1. Until we have a firm idea of the number of Spaniels who will be taking part, we cannot guarantee how many prizes will be awarded. However, we do need to know the grade your dog competes at, so that if numbers allow we can split grades out and offer more prizes! 

2. The grade that the dog is entered into at the start of the League year is where the dog stays until the next League year. 

3. We will also be offering a special prize for the rescue dog with the highest number of points, so if your dog is a rescue, please make sure we know!

 League tables will be available to view on our Facebook page MadSpaniels Agility League, and also on our website: www.madspaniels.co.uk

 We reserve the right to make changes to the MadSpaniels Agility League.
