Your dog will be scored on five events for a “Supreme” title. Sport Dog (SD) and Sport Supreme (SS) is recognized by ABA and AMA and will appear on there name. 

Each event is worth ten points if you take first place, nine points if you take second place and so forth. All the scores are added together and the highest score wins. If there is a tie score the Hardest Hitting event will be a tie-breaker. Dogs must be crated near the field when not competing. Dogs must not be given corrections. Events are run back to back in rapid succession. If a handler and dog are not ready when their turn is up they will be ejected from the trial. An assistant judge will make sure there is a dog on deck at all times to expedite the trial. Contestants must provide their own tug toy with snaps and their own weight pull harness and anything else needed for there completions. Each dog must have two handlers.

Dogs will run against a stopwatch, one dog at a time, on a straight 80‐yard (240 feet) course, you will run your dog two times to get a best time. Once your first run is completed the lineup will start over. One handler will hold the dog at the start line and the second handler will bait the dog past the finish line. The stopwatch starts when an assistant judge near the start line fires a starter's pistol or yelling, "On your mark, get set, GO" BANG! If no starter's pistol is available the assistant judge will yell, "On your mark, get set, GO!" and throw his raised arm down after saying the word, "GO". The stopwatch will start on the word, "GO" and / or the assistant judge’s arm signal. The assistant judge will watch the handler on the start line and disqualify him if he releases the dog before the gun or before the word, "GO". Anything may be used to get your dog down the field except nonliving food or previously alive. Whatever you use or need must be provided by solely b owner/handler that includes a decoy and any equipment..  40 Yard Dash if for dog that are 16" and UNDER ONLY

  Decoy may wear either a suit or a sleeve depending on the dog's training. The competition bite will be done from a distance of at least 15 yards. You will do this repeated a total of two times. Once you’re finished with your first run the lineup will repeat giving you two sends. Each dog will start from the same spot, which must be marked on the field. On the judge's signal the decoy will prime (attract attention) of the dog (all dogs will be primed in the same manner) The dog is released on the decoy’s direction.  An object may be used per judge's discretion to "threaten" or distract the dog and must be continuously used throughout trial (example a clatter stick, padded baton or blank gun, shaker can/jug) The decoy may shout, scream, or use any traditional method to pressure the dog. The judge has the option of including gunfire in the Hardest Hitting bite. In this case the decoy would not carry a stick, but a starter's pistol and would fire one time immediately before impact. After impact the decoy will drive the dog very briefly, then lockup. The drive must include at least one stick threat with the padded baton or clatter stick if the decoy did not use gunfire. The dog must stick to his bite during the brief drive to complete this event. Dogs will be judged on impact, how hard they hit the decoy, i.e. how much pain they were able to inflict through the equipment.  After each bite the decoy will give the judge a number to rank the dogs. No one else is to influence the decoy’s ranking of how hard the dog hits him. This is judged solely by the decoy catching the dogs.

Contestants may attempt to out their dog after the decoy locks up. A successful out adds 1 point to the score. A successful out is defined as the dog not re-engaging and not leaving the protection field before the handler picks him up, i.e., the dog must be under control until it is picked up or recalled. Only one out command is allowed; it must come from the dog's handler. The handler must be standing at the marked start point when he gives the out command. The dog has three seconds to obey the out command. After the dog outs, the handler may run to the dog to pick it up or recall.

15 Yards for dogs under 16" 

Drag Pull 16Ft.‐ May be done with a sled, a cart, or a rail system. Each dog is given 5 turns in a row with the cart or sled. There is a 60‐second time limit for each of the 5 pulls. Baiting is allowed. Handler may stand anywhere on the pull track but may not touch the dog. Leashes are not allowed. In the event of a tie for weight pulled, the fastest pull wins. Every pull is started when the sled crosses the start line and time will end when the sled crosses the 16' finish line. Handlers will tell the judge and assistants how much weight to put on the sled or cart for each pull. The weight added to the sled or cart must go from lighter to heavier or can remain the same to attempt a faster pull time. Weight cannot be decreased once a pull has taken place. Whatever you use or need must be provided by solely b owner/handler that includes a decoy and any equipment.
