KC Agility shows

The SWAT Steeplechase is sponsored by K9 Meals on Wheels and organised by SWAT Shows. Selling more than food and meals, K9 Meals on Wheels also stock natural treats, Riaflex, dry robes, baFery packs, and cooling fans. You can find K9 Meals on Wheels at SWAT Shows throughout the summer.

The SWAT Steeplechase is for dogs Grade 1 to 3 with separate compeLLons for each height. Finals for each compeLLon will take place at the SWAT May 2026 Open Agility Show, after rings have closed on the Saturday.

Heats will take place at the SWAT Winter Indoor Shows. There will be separate heats for the Grade 1&2 dogs and the Grade 3 dogs. But for the final all grades will compete against each other .:

3rd January Heat for G1 & 2 Combined classes for each height
4th January Heat for G3 Separate classes for each height
14th February Heat for G1 & 2 Combined classes for each height
15th February Heat for G3 Separate classes for each height
14th March Heat for G1 & 2 Combined classes for each height
15th March Heat for G3 Separate classes for each height

23rd May Final for G1-3 Separate final for each height (max 6 dogs for each final)

The winner of each heat will be invited to the Final. A dog can qualify only once for the Final although a handler may qualify with more than one dog. If the winner has already qualified, the invitation will be extended to the next placed dog/handler . Only the qualifying handler and dog may compete at the final (ie there cannot be a change of handler).

In the event that the qualifying dog/handler is unable to aFend the Final, the invitaLon may be extended to another pair at SWAT Shows’ discretion.

All heats and the Final are classified as Special classes by the Royal Kennel Club. They are held under KC Rules and Show Regulations H & H1 as in force at the date of the competition. If there is any dispute over the rules, the decision of SWAT Shows will be final.
