Teacup Dogs Agility Association

Teacup Dogs Agility Association

The Teacup Dogs Agility Association is an organization established to provide a dog agility competition venue for dogs of small stature without regard to breed or pedigree; and to encourage course challenges that are comparable to the course challenges which face large dog handlers in other popular venues.

Obstacles are scaled down to a size more appropriate to the smaller dogs. Jump heights will be set in a range from 4” to 16”, with adjustments for long-backed, short-legged, and veteran dogs.

Participation in the TDAA is limited to small dogs, measuring no more than 17”. There is no restriction on account of breed or pedigree.

The date of the first trial was: May 19, 2002, Kansas City, Kansas, judged by Bud Houston. Three other trials were conducted in 2002 in Columbus, Ohio; Manchester, New Hampshire, and Eugene, Oregon. A considerably more active slate of competition has evolved since.
