League Eligibility

- Longdogs – sighthound X sighthound

- The League will use the LSA results spreadsheet for each member to collate the results for each dog they have entered in the League
- Each member is responsible for inputting their own data and points, as well as informing the administrator of any grade/height changes.
- Once the League year ends, results must be sent within 1 month. Points added after this date will not be counted
- The table below shows which classes are available to enter
- Classes 1,2 and 3 are split by height. Small and medium heights will be combined. Novice and Advanced may be combined if entries are low. In summery, awards will be given for large beginners, large novice, large advanced, intermediate beginners, intermediate novice, intermediate advanced, small/medium beginners, small/medium novice, small/medium advanced
- Classes 4 and 5 are extra classes. These classes are all heights combined.
- Class 7 is Overall Winner and Runner Up. This is for all heights/levels combined. There are two awards which are given to the dog with the highest, and second highest number of points. Any dog entered into any category of the league will automatically be entered into this class.
- Grade & height changes can only be made at the start of each League year
- Dogs entering the Best Veteran class must be 7 years or over at the start of each League year
- A dog’s highest grade counts (based on Performance programme only), e.g. if a dog is Grade 5 in KC but only Beginners in A4A (Performance), they must be entered in the Advanced class
- For class 6, where a dogs measured height differs between organisations such as A4A (previously UKA) and KC, the KC measure will be the one that counts.
- Points can be gained at KC, A4A (previously UKA) and independent or unaffiliated shows.
- Independent/unaffiliated shows may be counted as long as they are publicly advertised, have a minimum of 30 dogs attend and adhere to KC or A4A (UKA) marking standard
