National Leagues FAQ

Our online leagues have been created for you to compete against other dog and handlers teams of a similar type from all around the country. At shows, a Poodle might compete against a Collie for example, but in the online leagues we have separate classifications for different types of dogs so you compete only against similar partnerships.

Yes! We have plenty of different leagues to choose from. Some are breed specific, some are based around a dogs job or breed type, some around their circumstances and others defined by the handler so there’s something for everyone. After the success of the leagues since 2019 we’ve added a few new categories. You can see the full eligibility rules at the bottom of this page.

You can enter up to 5 leagues per year per dog. Note: Make sure you choose your leagues carefully during sign up as these can’t be changed or added to later in the year.

There are no membership or registration fees to pay, you simply pay per league that you enter. For the 3rd year running each league is just £5 for the entire league season. That’s it!

The league year begins on 1st June and ends on 31st May. This means that all results can be entered from 1st June 2023 into the 2024 leagues.

Check the Eligibility Guide for full details but here's a handy quick guide of the basics.

Quick Guide:
  • Open to all to enter
  • Run as an individual
  • Placings = An award was presented and there was more than 3 dogs in the class
  • Clear Round = A clear round was achieved and either no award was presented, or an award was presented but there were 3 or less dogs who ran in the class
  • UK Rulebooks using standard hoopers equipment with standard competition placings eg. 1 dog for each 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc

Unfortunately online contests cannot be included, it isn’t possible to guarantee the integrity of the results from this type of competition. private competitions are also not included, results must be from any show which was widely open to entry. Regular shows with capped entries are accepted.

You can see a list of your dogs results by clicking their name from within a league table. At present it isn’t possible for you to amend entries so please make sure that you enter them in full and accurately.

Apart from the kudos of winning the National Leagues?? Well, there’s some fantastic prizes up for grabs, as well as some truly regal rosettes and triumphant trophies. PLUS-the top dogs in each league will be invited to the National League Finals for a weekend of hooping fun and presentations.
