Trialer, Open or Amateur Class?????

[autumnbells]

A small question and I think I know the answer but it just to be sure. When your dog earned the title trialer in France and you want to go to the Belgium and Dutch Field Trails I think you have to compete in the Open Class.

Is this a good conclusion or is it not so simple. Hope anybody can give me an answer. It is not that Autumn won the title no she not so far. But I know somebody who would like to go to Belgium and the Netherlands for some field trails.

If you have a Dutch open class qualification, you're not allowed in amateurs anymore. I think it's the same with the trialler title, but I am not sure.

As far as I know, the trialer title is only given in France, not in Belgium. I think for this title, they need to enter open FT.
So if a dog is trialer, you can't enter amateur class in Belgium.

It is more simple than that. If you get a qualification in Open, in Belgium, France or everywhere, you won't be allowed to compete in amateur anymore.

The title of Trailer in France is obtained by 2 qualifications, at least 1 of it must be in Open thus yes if a dog is Trailer in France, he can't compete in Amateur anymore.
