Agility Championships and Titles
Most sanctioning organizations offer a variety of titles that a dog and handler team can earn. The titles are achieved by accruing a certain number of qualifying runs (legs). Most require clean runs, with no faults at all, and a faster run time than the maximum standard course time (SCT).
AKC Titles
- Novice, Open, and Excellent titles all require three qualifying scores from two different judges.
- Master Jumper with Weaves requires ten qualifying scores under two different judges.
- Master Agility requires the excellent title and a specific number of additional qualifying times in the excellent class.
- MACH, or Master Agility Champion requires a minimum of 750 points and 20 double qualifying scores (two in the same day) in the Excellent class. This prestigious title is often placed before the dog’s full name.
