DOG COMPETITION RULES AT A GLANCE *
RETRIEVAL
PROFICIENCY TEST (RPT) –
This is a test to show that your dog is
capable of retrieving an object, off leash and under control from a distance of
10 yards. The dog may retrieve any object (ball, toy, stick…) provided by the
handler. The dog must retrieve the
object and deliver it to the owner. Retrieves
will be rated from 1 to 5. Dogs
receiving an RPT rating of 4 or 5 will receive a certificate and
are eligible to compete in disc dog competitions sanctioned by CDDA for titles.
SINGLE
DISC COMPETITION –
This is the class that allows you to earn legs towards titles! Dogs and handlers
have 2 one-minute rounds to complete as many successful throws and catches as
possible. Dogs receive points for
the distance
the disc is caught at and bonus points if
the dog “gets air” (all 4 feet leave the ground).
Dogs should be capable of catching discs at least 10 yards from the
thrower.
FREESTYLE
(FREEFLIGHT) –
This is a fun competition. Handlers make up their own combination of tricks and
flying disc catches to the music of their choice.
Limited to 90 seconds. Entrants
are judged on the number of catches, difficulty of tricks and artistic
impression.
Anyone with a dog that
loves flying discs and a bit of imagination
should
enter.
You
do not have to be a pro!
DISC-o-DUCK
– This is an unofficial fun event.
Dogs have 1 minute to
retrieve as
many discs as they can from a pile of discs, rubber ducks, balls and toys.
DISCS
IN THE MINEFIELD
– This is a new unofficial fun event.. Dogs are asked
to retrieve discs across “ minefields”.
The first minefield has tennis balls, the second toys, and the third hot
dog wieners!
All
competitors must put their CDDA competition numbers on all entry forms.
Entries
that do not have a CDDA competition number will not receive points towards
titles.
