At this point I'm not sure whether I'll start to work towards competing in agility with Flo but I have decided to take the first step and see where it takes me. I have sent in an application form to put her on the Kennel Club Activity Register and ordered an Agility Record Book.
Before being able to compete in agility competitions licensed by the Kennel Club your dog needs to be registered with the Kennel Club either on the Breed Register or the Activity Register. Cockapoos aren't a breed and can't be on the breed register so they need to be registered on the Activity Register. The form for registering can be found here.
If your cockapoo has Kennel Club registered parents their details can be included on your dogs certificate but only if you have the dam and sires Kennel Club name and registration number along with your dog breeder's details and signature on your application form. If you are buying a puppy and think you might like to do agility and eventually compete, it's well worth printing off an application form and, when you collect your puppy, ask the breeder to provide details for the dam and sire along with their signature for you to send to the Kennel Club at a later date. I have lost touch with Flo's breeder so her certificate will show her dam and sire as unknown - which is a pity because I know exactly who they are and they are both KC registered.
Flo will need to be measured by an official agility measurer before competing in a show so if I get my certificate in time I'll maybe try and get her measured at the Shuttleworth Show after Easter. That should be a laugh in itself as last time someone tried to measure her (when I originally started agility when she was 12 months old) she was not happy when the measuring gauge was put over her back...
