World Championship Competition
| We're missing a lot of info from 2000 to 2007. Someone needs to fill it in. |
This tournament, sponsored by Federation Cynologique Internationale (FCI), is invitational for countries, although individual handlers/dogs can compete. It might/not take place in any given year. In the U.S., the AKC chooses five dogs and handlers to represent the U.S. at the World Championship. Dogs compete in two height categories, Open and Mini (as of 200x, this changed to three heights: Open, Midi, and Mini).

International Agility Link
A loosely organized group, the International Agility Link (IAL), started promoting world-wide competition in 1996 over the Internet (with snail mail as a backup).
Five times a year, a standard course with simplified rules was sent to participating clubs around the world. The clubs had one month in which to hold the IAL competition, and then the IAL committee compiled the results. The top teams were identified by their cumulative scores, restarting each year. Dogs competed in four height categories: Toy (jump height 12"), Mini (16"), Midi (20"), and Maxi (24").
In 1997, 13 countries participated.
