Interested in trying your dog's skills out in our Fetch Trial on July 2 and want to know more? Here are some details about what to expect to qualify for a Novice Fetch title:

Your dog must pass three single retrieves under two different judges. The test is non-competitive and open to all breeds and mixed-breeds over six months old. (To be eligible for a title, dogs not registered with the CKC can apply for a Canine Companion number.)

Distance: The tennis ball, bumper, or toy must be thrown approximately 30 feet.
Distractions: The course includes 4 stationary distraction boxes and may feature one "fun" distraction (e.g., lawn chair or ornament).
The Retrieve: The dog must complete three "single" retrieves: one thrown to the left, one to the centre, and one to the right.
The Rules: Handlers may hold the collar at the start line and dogs must see the throw before they are sent.

SAVE THE DATE: pending CKC approval, KRKC will be hosting a FETCH Trial on July 2, 2026 in McClure.

What is Fetch? It is a fun event open to all dogs that enjoy the challenge of retrieving. Most people play ball with their dogs and FETCH allows you and your dog to earn titles with these skills.

FETCH is a pass-fail noncompetitive sport where dogs can earn the Novice, Intermediate, Advanced and Retriever Titles. Titles are awarded based on the dog acquiring 2 qualifying scores under 2 different judges.

Mixed-breeds are welcome and encouraged to compete. To be eligible for a title, be sure to register for a competition number with CKC.
