The next new change in AKC Agility!
To help run FAST faster (with less course builds), the AKC is allowing all three levels of FAST to run on the same embedded course.
New Send Distances in Open & Excellent/Master: This allows more flexibility in the distances from the Send line for these classes.
- Novice – 2 obstacles required at a minimum distance of 5’ to a maximum distance of 10’
- Open – 2 or 3 obstacles are required at a minimum distance of 5’ to a maximum distance of 20’ depending on the number of obstacles used. If only 2 obstacles are used in the send then one of the obstacles must be between 10’ and 15’. If 3 obstacles are used then at least one obstacle must be between 10’ and 15’. No more than one obstacle may be less than 10’ and no more than one obstacle can be greater than 15’.
- Excellent/Master – 3 obstacles are required at a minimum distance of 5’ to a maximum distance of 25’ with a change of direction or obstacle discrimination. No more than one obstacle may be less than 15’ and no more than one obstacle may be greater than 20’.
