(See also: More new regulations starting 1-July-2010 for additional changes.) The new micro class and increased maximum heights for the other size classes are set to start in July 2010! The Agility Committee believes that the new size classes will be more equitable for all dogs and will remove safety concerns with the current hurdle heights.

In addition, competitions will be split if each group: Micro + Mini, Midi, and Maxi has at least 15 dogs (micro and mini will also be split if they have at least 15 dogs each). Everyone will still run the same course but prizes will be awarded within each size group.
Any dog moving down a class because of the new rules will need to be remeasured!

(Long jumps are essentially unchanged, except that micro jumps only two elements, 600 mm max; the maximum lengths for other classes are slightly shorter than current maxima.)
