Events this year will include Agility, Racing and other events to be announced. There is no cost to enter. All events are "for fun" and education only. Any dog, rat terrier or otherwise, may enter. Our goal is to include something every dog can enjoy, regardless of age, skill or experience. More details on each event below.
Prizes will be awarded for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners in each event. The first place winners will receive a ribbon and a prize. 2nd and 3rd place winners will receive ribbons. Winning points will also be earned for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in each event. The dog earning the most points for the day will be named the Best In Show and receive the TOP DOG award ribbon and a prize.

Event
Details
Agility: Open to all (small to medium sized) dogs. Equipment includes weave poles, tire jump, hurdles, tunnels and more. Dogs can be handled on leash or off, though an off-leash performance will have the competitive edge. Each dog will be timed, but scoring will be primarily based on skill and completion of each obstacle. In the event of a tie, the dog with the best time wins. All dogs will compete for the same prizes and points, however there will be separate course with lower jumps for the smaller dogs. The course and equipment will be open for practice on Friday afternoon and during lunch prior to the competition on Saturday.
Terrier
Racing: Open to all. Dogs will be raced in groups of 4 in successive elimination heats until the top 3 runners are determined. Two handlers will be required for each dog...one to hold and release the dog at the starting line (in lieu of starting boxes) and another to call (and catch) the dog at the finish line. This event is lots of fun and requires no training, other than recall.
