Granite City Thistle cup
This is an agility competition, which is open to Small, Medium, Intermediate and Large dogs in Grades 1 to 2. The qualifying heats and final will be judged under standard Kennel Club rules and regulations. The class can be either combined or graded 1 to 2. When the heat is a graded class, the results will be combined to identify who has qualified for the final. Any subsequent grade changes will not alter a dog’s eligibility to compete in the final. Competitors may enter more than one dog in a heat, and may qualify more than one dog for the final. Once a dog has qualified for the final, further heats may be entered by competitors, and any placings will not affect the dog’s eligibility to run in the final. The handler that qualifies the dog for the final will be the handler that competes in the final.
The top 2 dogs from Small, Medium, Intermediate and Large will be invited to take part in the final. In the event that those placed 1st or 2nd have already qualified, the next partnership who have not qualified will be invited to the final in July.
In the event of a show that is due to hold a qualifier be cancelled, Granite City DAC may invite lower placed competitors to attend the Final as required.
The final will be an agility round, and will be held at Granite City DAC Show on Saturday 20th July 2024, after the rings have finished for the day.
The final for 2025 is kindly sponsored by Millie’s Paws & Hannah Paterson Photography.

granite city primrose league
The Primrose League is named in tribute to Prim, Kevin Parvin’s collie, one of the most promising dogs ever to run for the club.
Handlers should identify their club when entering the show. During each of the first 3 shows, points will be allocated to dogs placed from 1st to 10th place (non-elimination runs) for each class. Results will be recorded for dogs in Grade 1-3 (League A) and Grade 4-7 (League B).
In the event that a dog moves up grades, so that it is in grade 4-7, between the first show and the final, then the dog will move to League B, taking its points with it.
A dog can only run once in the Final, and must be run by a handler who has previously competed in one of the fun shows of the season ie a new handler cannot run a qualifying dog for the first time in the final.
The Final will be held at the last fun show of the season. The highest placed handler from League A and League B, for each club, will take part in a pairs run (agility or jumping, as decided by the judge). If a club does not have a combination in each of the Leagues, then they forfeit the right to take part in the final. The winning club will be presented with the Primrose League trophy, donated by Kevin Parvin, and the individual handlers are to be presented with a prize from our sponsors, Millie's Paws.
The Final will be on Sunday 2nd March 2025
This year’s judge is Don Coutts.
