Michael, you may wish to look into joining the Yahoo Group called Performance Corgis. While all the different performance venues are discussed, agility is a major discussion topic. There have been a lot of changes within AKC's agility program since it began. The other two primary agility venues are USDAA and NADAC. In our weekly chat on the rescue list, one of the members is now involved in another agility organization - CPE, I believe it is. There are people on that list who compete in all the various organizations so they may be able to give you some advice or suggestions to the improvements you'd like to see in NZ agility. Just the brief, best that I know about how the different agility organizations differ have to do with jump heights required for different breeds, height of different obstacles - A-frame and dog walk, also some differences in the obstacles and the titles that are offered. Might be of some interest to you.
