Our Values

Who is Agility Team Canada?

The Agility Team Canada is a non-profit, volunteer organization under the umbrella of the Canadian Kennel Club (CKC). Agility Team Canada chooses dog and handler teams to represent Canada at Federation Cynologique Internationale (FCI) events: the European Open (EO), the Americas and Caribbean Open (A&C) and the Agility World Championships (AWC).

Who is Federation Cynologique Internationale?

The Federation Cynologique Internationale (FCI) is the parent body that governs and standardizes Kennel Clubs and purebred dogs around the world. The FCI World Agility Championships is host to the best agility dogs of each country's Kennel Club.

Why is Canada invited to FCI World Championships?

Most countries have a primary Kennel Club that is a member of the FCI. The FCI holds a World Agility Championship for their members each year. The Canadian Kennel Club (CKC), The American Kennel Club (AKC) and the Kennel Club of the United Kingdom (UK) are not members of the FCI. Therefore, in order for Canada and the other non-member countries to attend the FCI Agility World Championship, they must be invited.

Why does Canada enter the FCI World Championships?

What dogs/handler teams are eligible for the Agility Team Canada?

What is the Agility Team Canada selection process?

Official ATC Tryouts are held once a year. Each team runs five courses designed by an International level judge and is scored as outlined in the Tryout Entry. Invitations are sent by email to prospective team members by the Management Team. The CKC has final approval of the teams.
