IDDHA Titling

         Single Disc Titling

         Basic Disc Dog (BDD)

The BDD Title is awarded to a dog that demonstrates a consistent ability to catch and return a single disc.  The title also signifies a handler's ability to manage a highly driven dog off-leash and to throw a disc competently under various conditions.

• The handler is limited to 1 flying disc and is required to throw from a designated area.
  

• The dog must run out no less than 20 yards and catch a flying disc before the disc touches the ground.
  

• Four (4) successful catches must be made within a maximum of 120 seconds or with no more than 7 throws.  Length of catches are measured and recorded (rounding down to the nearest 5 or 10 yard/meter mark is permitted).
  

• The IDDHA provides a handicap for junior handlers (handlers 14 years and under) and dogs that have a shoulder height of less than 14 inches.  See "Single Disc Court - Championship Single Disc Court".
  

• Most Canine Disc competitions fulfill the requirements for BDD Titling and are recognized accordingly.
  

• The title is awarded when BDD requirements are achieved in the presence of an IDDHA representative on a minimum of four occasions (or "legs").

• The BDD title is a prerequisite for testing for the ADD title.

• The handler is required to throw from a designated area.

• The dog must run out no less than 30 yards and catch a flying disc before the disc touches the ground.

• Six (6) successful catches must be made within a maximum of two minutes or 7 throws. Number and length of catches are measured and recorded (rounding down to the nearest 5 or 10 yard/meter mark is permitted).

• The ADD Title is awarded when this standard is demonstrated in the presence of an IDDHA representative on at least four occasions (or "legs").
