If obedience rings are divided into “A” and “B,” which should I be in if Im going for a leg?
Unless the host club has different rules, generally you may enter either (or both) for a leg. For example, if youve never earned a Novice title before, you may go into either A or B. Even if you previously have earned that title on another dog, you may still enter A or B, although by convention, most people would enter B. Here is an important exception: if the club is providing a placement ribbon or a prize of any nature, and you are competing for a prize or ribbon, then your choice between A and B is limited. At the novice level, you must enter B if you have previously earned a novice title on any dog. Once a dog has earned the Novice title, it may compete for prizes in neither Novice A nor B. If you have earned an Open or Utility title on a dog, you may subsequently compete for prizes in the A class with another dog as long as that dog doesnt have that title. If you are a judge or you have earned an Obedience Trial Champion title, you must compete for prizes or ribbons only in the B
