Citydogger Become Only AKC Agility Judge in Oklahoma

Candy Nettles, a City Dogs student who lives near Altus, OK, became the only AKC Agility Judge in the state of Oklahoma this weekend after attending an AKC judges' seminar held in Columbus, Ohio at Wild Weavers Agility Club. .

Becoming an AKC judge is a very difficult process.  The applicant has to pass around nine tests and be extremely well versed in the rules and in practical judging.  It is well known that few pass the judge's tests on their first try.

Nettles said, "The AKC Agility Director and all of the Reps were there, so we had some very in-depth discussions on all aspects of agility trials. We covered everything from accepting an assignment to the final paperwork."

Nettles is now listed as a provisional judge.  We are very proud of her accomplishment and happy to have an "in house" judge here at City Dogs.

The only other AKC agility judge ever in the state was Sally Sheridan, who no longer judges.  However, she, too, is a current student at City Dogs.

Way to go Candy!!  We are very proud of you!!
