Dog and handler teams that receive an excellent or passing rating in an IGP event, French ring event, and conformation event (either AKC and/or the FCI style event) will be qualified. You must have valid scorebook(s) and memberships for each discipline.

Both IGP and French offer non-biting options. IGP offers several different disciplines that do not have bitework components. Your dog must have a BH temperament test in order to partake in those events. If your dog does not have a BH it is a great starting point. Please refer to the IGP rulebook for specifics. French Ring offers a simple temperament test called a CSAU. It is very similar to an AKC Canine Good Citizen. This test will qualify as partaking in a FR event.

In the event of a tie, the winner will be chosen based on the dog and handler that placed highest in their specified event.
