At Jumping Jacks, we pride ourselves on being a friendly show and a good introduction to competing with your dog. You do not need to register before competing in any Jumping Jacks or Pawfect Distance show but if you are new to competition, we encourage you to introduce yourself to one of the JJ Hoopers team at the entrance tent (look for the T shirts!). We are more than happy to explain what goes on, talk you through the day, and answer any questions you may have.

We have tweaked the rules slightly for 2026 so if you have been before, please read the new rules or this summary. Changes from 2026 onwards.pdf

There are six competition levels at JJ hoopers: Nursery, Levels 1 to 4 and Veteran. We allow dogs to compete in Nursery classes from the age of 12 months. The link below gives examples of courses and rules at each level. The rules for 2026 also outline the various levels. If you are unsure which level to enter, then please contact us. Examples of levels

The JJ hoopers rules from 2026 can be found here and the JJ show rules here

We have some unique features at our Jumping Jacks Shows. For those of you who have run out of rosette space we have our 5x rosettes. Five of your first place rosettes can now be exchanged for one that celebrates all those wins - with details of the dates and run data recorded on the back.

And as you can see below, we don’t just stick to 1st, 2nd and 3rd places. We have our very own NearlE rosettes. Awarded for an E run that JUST misses being perfect. We use the groans from the spectators as a guide! Check out our Instagram for an example.
