Obedience Regulations Section 13. Broad Jump. the principal features of this exercise are that the dog stay where left until directed to jump, that the dog clear the jump on a single command or signal, and that the dog return to its handler after it has jumped. orders are “leave your dog,” “send your dog,” and “Finish.” the handler will stand with the dog sitting in the heel position at least 8 feet from the jump facing the lowest side of the lowest hurdle. (this 8-foot distance must be clearly marked.) on order from the judge to “leave your dog,” the handler will give the command and/or signal to stay and go to a position facing the right side of the jump. Handlers may stand anywhere between the lowest edge of the first hurdle and the highest edge of the last hurdle with their toes about 2 feet from the jump. on the judge’s order, the handler will give the command or signal to jump. While the dog is in midair, the handler will execute a 90-degree pivot, but will remain in the same spot. the dog will clear the entire distance of the hurdles without touching them and, without further command or signal, immediately return to a sitting position in front of the handler, finishing as in the novice recall. the broad jump will consist of four white telescoping hurdles, all about 8 inches wide. the largest hurdle will measure about 5 feet long and about 6 inches at the highest point. in the ring, they will be arranged in order of size, evenly spaced, covering a distance equal to twice the height of the high jump setting for each dog. Four hurdles will be used for a jump of 48 to 72 inches, three for 28 to 44 inches, two for a jump of 16 to 24 inches, and one for 8 inches. When decreasing the number of hurdles in the jump, the highest hurdle will be removed first. it is the judge’s responsibility to see that the distance jumped by each dog is in accordance with these regulations. Section 14. Broad Jump, Scoring. A dog that fails to stay until directed to jump, refuses the jump on the first command or signal, or steps on or between the hurdles must receive a non-qualifying (nQ) score. Depending on the circumstances, minor or substantial deductions will be made for a dog that does not return directly to the handler, that displays any hesitation in jumping, or that touches the jump. All applicable penalties listed under the novice recall shall apply. Section 15. Open Group Exercises, Performance and Scoring. During these exercises the judge will stand so that all the dogs are clearly visible. Without having to turn around, judges should be able to see all the handlers as they leave and return to the ring. these exercises are performed in the same manner as in the novice classes, except that the handlers must cross to the opposite side of the ring then leave in a single file and go completely out of the dogs’ sight. counting from the judge’s order to “leave your dogs,” the handlers must 34
emain in the place designated by the judge until three minutes have passed for the long sit and five minutes for the long Down. on the judge’s orders, the handlers will return to the ring in reverse order, line up to face their dogs at the opposite side of the ring, and return to their dogs. orders and scoring are the same as in the novice group exercises. 35 Obedience Regulations
