Thank you for joining us for the 2nd annual AKC Obedience Classic and the
fourth annual AKC Juniors Classic! We congratulate you and are pleased to
welcome you and your dogs to these events. These events are being held in
conjunction with the Agility Invitational and the AKC/Eukanuba National
Championship. Please take the time to visit and appreciate the outstanding
dogs and owners participating in each of these events.
Competitors have exhibited throughout the year in order to qualify to enter
the Obedience Classic. Two hundred and two teams will compete over the next
two days for top honors in the Novice, Open, Utility and Masters Classes.
Classic competitors come from 31 states, representing 44 different breeds.
These obedient dogs will perform a series of exercises, such as heeling, scent
discrimination and retrieving over jumps. They are judged on their skill and
accuracy, as well as the natural movement of the handler and willingness and
enjoyment of the dog.
Eight obedience judges were selected for their experience and sound
judgment and we want to thank them for the time they have committed to these
events and their dedication to the sports. All dogs in the Classic will
compete over two days and their scores will be cumulative. In the Novice, Open
and Utility Classes the handler/dog teams will compete three times. In the
Masters Class the handler/dog teams will compete a total of six times, three
times in Open and three times in Utility. Group exercises will be performed in
each round. An awards ceremony for the Obedience Classic will be held at the
conclusion of the event on Sunday. If a “Top Dog” Medallion has been
sponsored by a breed’s AKC Parent Club, it will be presented to the dog of that
breed with the single highest score from any one ring at the conclusion of the
event.
In the AKC Juniors Classic, 26 junior handlers from 11 states will compete
twice on Saturday with 35 dogs in one of three class levels; the Beginner
Novice, Novice and Open classes. New this year we have added AKC Rally to
the Juniors Classic, where we have 22 juniors and 30 dogs entered. The
Juniors range in age from eight to 17 years competing with 15 different breeds.
There will be an awards ceremony on Saturday for the junior obedience
competition and on Sunday for the junior rally competition. Stop by to cheer for
the sport’s next generation of exhibitors!
Special appreciation goes to our event sponsor J & J Dog Supplies, for their
continued support of our events. Please take a moment to visit their booth and
express your gratitude to their representatives for supporting our sports. Be
certain to take some time to enjoy some camaraderie at the welcome receptions
for the AKC Obedience Classic and Juniors Classic on Friday sponsored by
AKC, the Orlando Dog Training Club and the Dog Obedience Clubs of Florida.
The AKC also expresses its appreciation to the more than 50 volunteers that
have offered their time and expertise to make this event a wonderful celebration
of the sports of obedience and rally.
The entire Companion Events team has worked hard to organize this event
and is here to ensure its success. Our team is comprised of -- Doug Ljungren,
Vice President of Sports & Events; Co-Trial Chair and Sr. Executive Field
Representative, Diane Schultz; Event Secretary, Lisa Strickland; and the
Companion Events Obedience/Rally Executive Field Team comprised of Dr.
William Thayne, Mary Higdem and Sharon Hodgens-Wood. Without all of the
wonderful volunteers and staff, an event of this size would not be possible.
Thank you all for your time and talents.
Best of luck to our exhibitors over the next two days; and thank you for
entering! We are pleased everyone could join us in Orlando this weekend. Enjoy
the Classic!

Sincerely,

Pamela Manaton
