All dogs must be registered with AAC by having a Dog Identification number to compete in sanctioned trials. This may be obtained through the purchase of a Dog Identification Card, the application for which may be found on the AAC website. Dogs less than eighteen (18) months of age, bitches in season or in an advanced state of pregnancy, dogs suffering from an injury or illness that affects the dog's physical or mental performance, and any dog that demonstrates signs of aggression towards people or other dogs must NOT be permitted to participate in any AAC agility trial. This includes dogs running FEO. A handicapped dog may be allowed to participate, providing that the dog’s handicap does not adversely affect its performance. Dogs are not permitted to compete, even FEO, wearing any bandages, wraps, or other mechanical devices, except as required to prevent fur from falling over the dog’s eyes. Any dog under suspension for aggression shall not be allowed on the site of any AAC-sanctioned event for the duration of their suspension. No dog may compete for placements or qualifying scores at a height lower than that for which their measurement qualifies them in a particular category. Except for approved re-runs, a dog shall never run the same course twice. Dogs and/or handlers may enter classes under a judge who resides in the same household or who is a member of the same agility club. An AAC Course Approver may not enter any course they have approved for placements or qualifying scores, but may enter FEO. Please see the Official AAC Rulebook for more detailed info.
