Rodeo Dog
Rodeo Dog is unusual among handling sports: a single US sanctioning body runs the whole sport. There is no field of competing registries, no parallel program to choose between, and no AKC or UKC pedigree recognition (Rodeo Dog Company says its titles can count toward AKC Trick Dog titles and FIT Dog points). Handlers compete under Rodeo Dog Company rules through approved clubs and Secreterrier-managed events. Rodeo Dog Company is the rulemaking, registration, title-recording, and club-approval body — rules require dogs to be registered before titling, clubs to be licensed or approved before holding trials, and official signed tally sheets to be submitted for titling. All dogs and handlers are welcome; aggressive dogs are not permitted. Accommodation language is explicit: the sport does not discriminate on disability, and Special/Senior covers handlers or dogs with impairments and dogs over age 9.
