Entry Requirements

National Team

Each participating country may enter a national team of up to 25 dogs into the World Championship. The national team must consist of at least 3 dogs. Members of countries with less than 3 dogs may enter as individual competitors. The dogs of the national team are selected based on each country's ranking lists, for more details please check with your head of federation. National team members also participate in the competition between countries.

Individual Competitors

If a country reaches the limit of 25 dogs for the national team, further participants may enter the World Championship as individual competitors if they have at least 1 ranking point. Individual competitors do not participate in the competition between countries.
