Retrieve over the Climbing Wall with the Dumbbell (fifteen points)

The handler, with his dog sitting at his side, stands an appropriate distance from the wall. He throws the dumbbell over the jump and then commands his dog to “Hup!” As the dog is scaling the wall, the handler may give it an additional command to take the dumbbell. The animal should scale the wall, retrieve the dumbbell, come back over the wall and sit directly in front of its handler with the dumbbell in its mouth. After the handler has taken the dumbbell, he commands the dog to “Heel!” and the dog will finish to the heel position. Points may be deducted at judge’s discretion.

Send Away and Down (ten points)

The dog and handler move forward briskly off leash. After a few paces, the handler signals straight ahead with his right arm and commands the dog to “Go out!” The dog should move out quickly in a straight path for at least thirty paces. When commanded “Down!” it should turn toward the handler and drop immediately to the ground. The handler pauses a few seconds, then walks out to the dog and steps to the animal’s right side. The exercise is complete when he commands his dog to “Sit!” Deductions will be made if the dog does not go out the proper distance or does not go straight and rapidly. The animal will also lose points for dropping slowly or before the command is given.
