German Shepherd Dog Ranking by PowerScore for 2024 For Q3 through Q4 (July – December)
The Breed Power 10 is a group of the top 10 dogs in each breed at each height ranked by PowerScore. The Breed Power 10 recognizes the fastest dogs in our sport by using average yards per second, rather than double qualifying (QQ) runs or points. Learn more about the Breed Power 10 and the PowerScore.
A Note About 2024
In 2024, the AKC removed the table from master levels classes effective July 1st, 2024. The removal of a 5 second pause in a standard run completely changes the Yard Per Second of courses from before July 1st versus after July 1st. We have decided, for this year, to put out two final rankings, one for January – June, which includes the table. And one for July-December where there is no table.
In 2025, we will return to one year end ranking with quarterly checkpoints.
