French Ring

Ring Philosophy
Developed in France, French Ring is a high level sport. This sport requires great rigor for the owner while having a very strong dog both mentally and physically.

French Ring exercises are designed to develop working skills. The exercises are divided into 3 categories: obedience, jumping and protection.
