AAC
Agility Association of Canada

The AAC is committed to promoting inclusive, competitive agility at a local, regional, national, and international level, for all handlers and dogs, without regard for pedigree.

AAC Jump Heights
Your dog's jump height is based on a measurement to their withers. You must have your AAC height card completed at a trial by an AAC judge. This determines your Regular (R) jump height. You are also allowed to jump up a height, or you can jump a lower height as Specials (S). Once your dog is old enough you can also drop to Veterans (V) or Double Drop Veterans (W).
Junior Handlers (JH) also jump dogs at one lower height.
