The Canadian National Disc Dog Championships offers competition in Toss/Fetch and Freestyle.
At this competition toss/fetch and freestyle are "stand alone" events, meaning that there is no toss/fetch round as part of freestyle.
Competition Start Time = 11am
Sign In Starts at 10:15am
This competition follows the Skyhoundz judging format >> 60 seconds for toss/fetch; and 90 seconds for freestyle. And the PAWS scoring system for freestyle. The one difference is that you may use "up to" seven discs for freestyle.
All brands of plastic discs that are safe for dogs are allowed.
This competition offers many divisions within each of the two classes (toss/fetch & freestyle)
Toss/Fetch offers the following classes:
> Novice A > for experienced handlers with novice dogs
> Novice B > for beginner handlers with novice dogs
> Open > for experienced handlers/dogs
> Youth > for handlers 14yrs of age and younger
> Veterans > for dogs 9yrs of age or older
> MicroDog > for dogs 16.5" at the wither or smaller
> MicroMini Dog > for dogs smaller than 13" at the wither
> NEW! Tether Class > dogs can wear long lines
Freestyle offers the same divisions with the exception of the *MicroMini division & the **Tether division.
*MicroMini is only offered in toss/fetch because in distance throwing the tiny tots have a marked disadvantage against the larger than 13" dogs
**Tether could be dangerous in freestyle
The Canadian National Disc Dog Championships will offer specialty awards for Innovation & Best New Player. Competitors in all divisions will be eligable for these awards
Competitors participating in the Open divisions of toss/fetch and freestyle will be eligable to win the Canada Cup. The Canada Cup goes to the competitor with the overall highest combined score (toss/fetch and freestyle combined)
Our judge for this trial is Mr. Ray Lowman from Maryland.
