Bee Happy Heights
We accept both KC and A4A measures. When registering please enter your dog's exact A4A measure if they have one.
We use the KC cut offs for each height with the addition of a mini height.
You may compete your dog at one height lower than their official measure. When entering a show, please select the height you want for the day.
Any lower, then your runs will be classed as NFC.
See the table below for jump heights and conversions.

*Dog's that have been made KC Grade 2 by default can register as Nursery as long as they have not been placed at a KC show. If your dog has won into grade 2, they MUST register as Intro.
Any-size height selection is for dogs in Pre intro grade and above who require an easier courses to run on the day. Any-size dogs will run the Nursery course and will run concurrently with the Nursery class and will be awarded separately. Any points gained whist running at Any-size will not count towards progression.
Awards
Placings to 2nd place however as entries grows this will be extended to 3rd place depending on the amount of dogs in the same category.
Awards are given to each Grade and to each height within the grade except for Anysize and Veterans. These will be awarded to each category no matter the height.
When there is only 1 dog entered into a class, first place can only be awarded if the dog gains a clear round.
Progression
Progression through Bee Happy grades are done on placings (clear rounds only) and/or points. Winning out of a grade will apply for the dog's next show.

TESTIMONIALS
We had so much fun at our first agility competition with you guys. The event was so well organised and everyone was super friendly and helpful. It was such a positive experience for both me and my furry friend, Bertie. We really appreciated all the hard work that went into putting on such a great event. The atmosphere was buzzing and we can't wait to come back for more competitions in the future!
