ABOUT MAHDS EVENTS

TYPES OF CLASSES

 

Regional Circuit Classes​​: 

These are competitive classes which are part of a MAHDS Regional Circuit. There are 2 regional circuits: dryland and snow. Classes that form part of a regional circuit are listed in the “Regional Circuit Regulations” and must conform to specific rules and requirements. 

​

Off-Circuit Classes: 

These are competitive classes that do not form part of a regional circuit. These include recreational or training classes that help foster sport-development in our region. See Article 2.2.3 of the Regulations.

​

Non-Competitive Classes (Fun Runs)

These classes are focused on fun and do not count toward the regional circuit. The MAHDS Code of Conduct and certain safety requirements for the health and enjoyment of canine teammates remain in effect. More information on these events can be found under the documents tab. 

​

If you'd like more information on the different types of classes and how they are structured, please refer to the Rules & Requirements for Organizers and the Regional Circuit Regulations. These documents are all available under the "Documents" tab!
