The Kennel Club has announced the introduction of the Agility Warrant as from the 1July 2004. The Warrant rewards competitiveness and consistency and should be achievable by a majority of dogs. It will enable the owner of a dog, obtaining 200 points or more, to apply for the warrant, and to add the letters ‘AW’ after the dog’s name on entry forms and in catalogues.

‘An Agility Warrant will be issued on application by the registered owner at the time of qualification in respect of a dog that has obtained 200 points in standard agility and jumping classes at Championship and Open Shows. At least 50 points (25%) must be gained in agility (as opposed to jumping) classes.  Points will be awarded at any level but may not be gained in any part of the Championship class. Points will also only be awarded where the dog has obtained a clear round within the course time. Points awarded will be as follows:-

Points
(Clear rounds only)

Points will also be awarded for clear rounds within the course time as follows:-

Where less than 10 places are awarded in any class a competitor obtaining a clear round not in the places will be awarded the points applicable for a clear round in that class, i.e. 2 points for an agility class and 1 point for a jumping class. 

Administrative notes

1. Owners/Handlers
   To collect points towards the issue of the warrant you will be required to have a copy of the Kennel Club Agility Record Book (Obtainable form the Kennel Club, or some Agility Council Reps.) Any scoring run should be entered in the record book, and signed by the Judge.
2. Kennel Club
   On reaching the required number of points, the record book should be sent to the Kennel Club, where the records will be checked and the warrant issued.
3. On the day
   If you are likely to be in the top ten for the class, then you will have to wait until the end of the class, for the position to be verified. The Judge/Scorer will then sign the book. If you are likely to qualify for just the clear round, then it will be permissible to have the book signed during the class.
4. Judges
   To save having to sign numerous books at the end of a tiring day, it is permissible to have a rubber stamp made of a signature and authorize the scorer to check and stamp the book on your behalf.

3 & 4 are no longer required, the competitor keeps these records themselves
