The Kennel Club is currently organising qualifiers at Agility shows during 2011 to find finalists to compete at dfs Crufts in March 2012. The majority of these qualifying heats will continue to be held at the shows which staged them during 2010, but the option for a further Agility club to host a heat has become available.

Following a decision that Ely & District Dog Training Club (Summer Agility Show) will only be holding one set of qualifiers for the Small Circular Knockout, the Small Agility Challenge and the Small/Mixi Pairs at its show on 26^th August 2011, the Kennel Club is inviting Agility clubs to apply to host one qualifying event at a show in 2011.

To be eligible, shows must be Kennel Club licensed Open or Championship Agility shows and take place before 31^st October 2011. Shows should ideally be capable of accommodating qualifying heats for all three competitions, and will be asked to provide full details of all qualifying dogs and handlers to the Kennel Club within two weeks of the end of the show.

Show organisers wishing to stage the qualifiers are invited to contact Debbie Deuchar, no later than Friday 25^th February 2011, by email to debbie.deuchar@thekennelclub.org.ukor in writing to the Kennel Club, 1-5 Clarges Street, London W1J 8AB. For further information please contact the Kennel Club WTOA team on 0844 463 3980, ext 316 or 331.

Lists of existing qualifying heats for dfs Crufts 2012, and for Olympia 2011 and the European Open 2012, are available on the Kennel Club website.
