PHOTOGRAPHY AND VIDEO RIGHTS
The Organisers would like to bring the regulation on photography and filming to the attention of exhibitors, trade
stands, press and visitors.
It is a condition of all those attending the event that no filming or other form of recording may be taken or made at
the venue without the express written permission of the organisers. The taking of photographs in the show venue
for sale or reward is strictly prohibited except with the written permission of the Organisers. Press accredited
photographers are provided with permission to take photographs ONLY for use in newspapers, magazines and
internet sites - this is for news purposes only. There is no objection to the general public taking photographs of
general views of the Show, provided that these are for private use. Specific dogs may be photographed only with
the approval of the exhibitor. No photography or filming is permitted in breed judging rings whilst judging is actually
taking place. However, judges may allow it to happen at the end of classes or after the Challenge Certificate is
awarded. Filming and flash photography is allowed from outside the rings at all times unless the operation of the
camera is actually affecting exhibits. However, if a powerful flash unit is used or if it is clear that exhibits are being
affected, a ring steward or the judge is empowered to stop the person concerned.
2THE KENNEL CLUB SPECIAL BEGINNER COMPETITION
The Kennel Club is delighted to announce its sponsorship of a
Special Beginners Competition from 2018 at General and Group
Championship Shows to encourage more exhibitors to experience
a Group competition.
Each show society will be required to schedule a Special Beginner
class for dogs and bitches in each breed plus AVNSC and Imported
Breed Register classes. The Best Special Beginner to be declared
for each breed plus AVNSC and Imported Breed Register classes
to go forward to the group competition.
It is hoped that exhibitors and the competition itself will receive
maximum visibility at each show. It is preferable for all judging to
take place in the main ring, although it is accepted that this may
not always be possible. If time does not allow for all judging to take
place in the main ring, pre judging can take place, but the final
decision and presentation of awards must be made in the main
ring. It is at each society’s discretion as to the time the group is to
be judged.
The Kennel Club will provide sponsorship in the form of rosettes
1st – 4th for each group together with prize money of £100 for each
group to be awarded as follows: 1st prize - £40, 2nd prize - £30,
3rd prize - £20, 4th prize - £10.
If you would like to include the Special Beginner Competition at
your show please let me know so that I can provide more details
about the issuance of rosettes and prize money.

16. DOGS IN VEHICLES ON HOT DAYS. Your dog is vulnerable and at risk during hot weather and the Kennel Club offers
the following guidance to help guide you through the do’s and don’ts travelling to and whilst at Kennel Club licensed
events.
O When travelling to a show please take a moment to consider whether the route to the show is on a busy holiday
route, and leave earlier to avoid increased time in traffic jams.
O If your vehicle is not air-conditioned seriously consider whether travelling to the show is a good idea at all.
O The vehicle should be as fully ventilated as possible, and plenty of stops should be taken, with lots of water available
to drink.
O Ensure your dog is not sitting in full sunlight. There should be plenty of free flowing air around the dog.
O When at the show, never leave your dog in the vehicle.
O Keep the dog in the shade—take your own shade, for example a large umbrella and always have plenty of water
available to drink so your dog stays well hydrated.
O Avoid your dog taking part in unnecessary exertion, or from standing in exposed sunlight for extended lengths of time.
Remember, if you feel hot your dog is very likely to feel much hotter and dehydrated, and this could lead to dire results.
Please look after your dog’s welfare. WARNING: IF YOUR DOG IS FOUND TO BE AT RISK, FORCIBLE ENTRY TO
YOUR VEHICLE MAY BE NECESSARY WITHOUT LIABILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE CAUSED. Anyone whose dog is
entered at a Kennel Club licensed event should take all reasonable steps to ensure the needs of their dog(s) are met,
and should not put a dog’s health and welfare at risk by any action, default, omission or otherwise. Breach of Kennel
Club Regulations in this respect may be referred to the Board for disciplinary action under Kennel Club Rules and
Regulations. The use of pinch collars, electronic shock collars, or prong collars, is not permitted at any show licensed
by the Kennel Club. This shall apply at the venue or within the precincts of the show.

competition you must be a fully paid up member at the time of entry and competition. If you enter a Crufts qualifier and you have

membership as current if you wish to participate in YKC competitions.

all bred by the same breeder or breeding partnership. The breeder enters the class and then arranges which dogs are exhibited
on the day of the show. Please clearly state the name and affix of the registered breeder(s). Entries will not be taken on the
day of the show. Teams will be awarded points/prize money in the KC Breeders’ Competition as follows: Points 1st; 30; 2nd
15; 3rd 10; 4th 5. Prize Money 1st Non ABS Prize Fund £20; ABS Prize Fund £25. Please note that Assured Breeders will be

teams from the European and World Dog Shows’ breeders competition. Our Dogs will collate the points and publish a leader
board through the year.

Only dogs of six (6) calendar months of age and over on the day of competition are eligible for entry into a YKC qual-
ifying stakes class. Dogs must be on the Kennel Club Breed Register to compete in a YKC stakes competition. The
first placed member only in each dog group at the qualifying show will qualify for Crufts. A rosette will be awarded. If
a member is disqualified, the qualification does not roll down to the next placing. All pedigree dogs are eligible to take
part provided the dog is registered on the Kennel Club Breed Register. The dog must be registered a) solely or jointly
in the member’s name or b) in the name of a close member of the family (i.e. a group of people related by blood or
by marriage) and under these circumstances the dog must be resident at the YKC member’s address. No substitute
handlers are permitted — the dog must be handled by the registered YKC member. Members are not permitted to
allow another individual to show their dog at the qualifier on their behalf if they are not able to attend the class, unless
agreed by the YKC Office prior to the show. Members must be aged 6 - 24 years (members 6 years and up to, but not
including 25th birthday). Please note that membership of the YKC terminates on a member’s 25th birthday. Therefore
if a member is aged 25 years or over by the first day of Crufts they will be unable to compete in any YKC class. Please
keep this in mind when entering qualifiers throughout the competing year. In order to enter any YKC competition you
must be a fully paid up member at the time of entry and competition. If you enter a Crufts qualifier and you have not
previously paid your membership fee then any award will be forfeited Therefore it is important to renew and maintain
YKC membership as current if you wish to participate in YKC competitions.

Only dogs of six (6) calendar months of age and over on the day of competition are eligible for entry into a YKC qual-
ifying class. Qualification is on a points basis as follows: 1st place = 30 points; 2nd place = 20 points; 3rd place = 10
points. Members will receive points per group (i.e. if they handle a Bloodhound, they will get points towards the Hound
group). If a member gains 30 points in any one group, they will qualify to enter a dog from that group at Crufts 2019. If
a member gains 30 or more points in multiple groups, they may only compete with one dog at Crufts, but they will have
the option to choose from any of the groups they have 30 or more points in. A full copy of the 2018 rules (for Crufts
2019) can be found here: http://www.ykc.org.uk/media/8824/ykc-handling-regulations-2018-crufts-2019.pdf.
The classes are divided into three age groups: 6-11 years (6 years and up to, but not including 12th birthday). 12-17
years (12 years and up to, but not including 18th birthday). 18-24 years (18 years and up to, but not including 25th
birthday). In order to enter any YKC competition, you must be a fully paid up member at the time of entry and com-
petition. If you enter a Crufts qualifier and you have not previously paid your membership fee then any award will be
forfeited. Therefore it is important to renew and maintain YKC membership as current if you wish to participate in YKC
competitions.
