As of January 2014:
1. Dogs must enter the Veterans Division in all jumping classes after their 9th birthday.
Which means dogs are still eligible to enter the veteran division at age y7, but it will be mandatory at age 9.
If a 9 year old dog is running with a 4” allowance in the Skilled Category, they must be moved to the Veteran Division. The dog can be entered as either a Provicient Category Veteran dog with a 4” reduction in jump height, or entered in the Skilled Category as a Veteran dog with an 8” reduction in jump height.
2. After their 12th birthday, dogs must enter the Skilled Category as a Veteran dog in the jumping classes.
