I can go straight to 10" on a 22" if I start right in Vets w/a "7yr old", right?
The answer to that is no. In AAC you are only allowed to drop down one height for vets so a 22" dog would run at 16" what most people end doing myself included is to drop down in to specials for a year then drop from specials to vet. For example both Smudge and Winter had to jump 22" when they first started, both got put into 16" specials (Winter because of a bad leg and Smudge because he was wasting to much time in the air when jumping) I have since put Winter in vets which means she only has to jump 10" In order to drop from specials to vets though the dog has to compete in specials for a year.
