Any New Regs for Rally?

**Andaka** · 01-05-2009, 02:56 PM

Are there any new rules or regulations for Rally this year? I looked on AKC's website and couldn't find any.

Tag and I need 4 more RAE legs for our RAE2, so we want to get any early start.

I think there were new rules at the start of 2008 and the new classes and optional signs were added. The number of retries was reduced too. I do know the honor exercise will require a 6 ft leash and the handler has to be at the end of it not next to the dog or just in front- but that may not be effective til July?

I have not shown in almost 2 years so have not kept up. I am getting ready to start Havoc in Rally Novice this spring so I guess I better get up to speed.

That is in play now-I stewarded at a trial a week ago (was it still 2008 only a week ago)and watching the honor was one of my tasks.

Am not aware of any changes for 2009.

Completing an RAE2? Great!
