Hmmm...so with Maddy, I have her in Advanced B, but she has a CD, so I guess that's right. But if I were to finish up Hudler (one more RN B leg) and take him on to Advanced, he could be A?
So, you all were right (of course)! Just thought I'd let you know what the AKC said.Hello,
You are correct that a handler can enter the Advanced and Excellent A
classes regardless of their experience with other dogs in the past. As
long as the dog you are currently competing with has not earned any
obedience titles, you can compete in the A class. If you get an RA
title on the first dog, you can remain in Advanced A with the other dog,
you will not need to move the second dog to the B class.
Yes...only Novice applies to the handlers status. Adv and Excellent (as well as Open and Utility) apply to the dog's status so as long as he doesn't have a CD or RA he will be in A.CYNLABS said:But if I were to finish up Hudler (one more RN B leg) and take him on to Advanced, he could be A?
Pretty cool, eh? The only difference is that obedience titles on a dog force a dog to compete in Rally B classes but Rally titles on a dog have no effect on the level in obedience. They will still compete in A.AngusFangus said:I didn't know it was that way in obedience too!
