League tables
As a sport, nosework is suitable for any dog and handler to excel and we wanted to celebrate the wide varity of breeds that compete so have created league tables to reflect that.
Our league tables are important to us as it helps us celebrate the huge range of dogs that currently excel in the sport and gives teams something different to aim for. As a starting point, we’ve taken our information from the breed categorisation set by the UK Kennel Club. We do have breeds and types that are not yet recognised by the KC so these are categorised as AVNSC (Any variety not separately classified). AVNSC is for all unrecognised single breeds, along with types (eg lurchers) and any mixed breeds or unknown background. NB: If your dog is registered on the KC Activity register, that does not impact our leagues. For example, a Border Collie on the activity register with the KC will still compete in the Pastoral League, not AVNSC. We will review our categorisation annually.
* Every result will be added to the league tables but teams will be required to have competed at a minimum of 3 trials over a 12 month period to qualify for the annual presentations.
