Poodles with a blue pedigree paper, The Main Register, may be shown in conformation. Poodles with orange papers, Limited Register, are not to be bred from and cannot compete in conformation shows.
All poodles can compete in other activities, obedience, agility, flyball, tracking, dances with dogs.

Poodle Team at Crufts Watch the video on UTube
Attending an obedience club will teach you, by the world’s best practice, to train your dog to become a well mannered, happy, appreciated and accepted member of your family and an animal that is easily acceptable in the wider community
Titles and certificates are awarded after the dog successfully qualifies three times at each level and these titles are then added to the dog’s name.
Dances with Dogs
Dances with Dogs (DWD) is an ANKC sanctioned competition sport comprising Heelwork to Music and Freestyle. DWD competitions provide handlers and their dogs with an opportunity to demonstrate a skilful, choreographed routine, performed to music. DWD has its foundation in traditional obedience heelwork. However, the inclusion of innovative and creative moves, and movement in time to and interpretation of the music are expected. Competitions are held Australia-wide.

Rally Obedience
Rally obedience is conducted in a ring with the handler following a numbered sequence of signs depicting the exercise required to be performed at each station.
Competitors are encouraged to talk to their dogs through the run, they are allowed to tell dogs to sit and stay etc where they wouldn't be allowed in Obedience, they are allowed to Retry stations if they goof (2 retries per course), and the Novice level is all on lead. A Rally O run out is also only about 2 minutes
Lure Coursing
Pippin
Due to Covid we held our first official Lure Coursing Trial for 2020 20 September with 57 entries. Although Pippin has retired from official Lure Coursing trials it is great that he has the opportunity to run the test run at the beginning of each trial. Although a veteran he ran the 720 metre course comfortably. Pippin was the first poodle in Australia to gain the official Advanced Lure Coursing title.
