SEATING
This venue has limited seating,
therefore it is advisable to bring your own if possible
7PLEASE NOTE: THIS SHOW IS NOT BENCHED
AREAS WILL BE PROVIDED FOR CAGES AND SOFT CRATES
Soft Crates: The Kennel Club has asked that we draw attention to the potential health
and safety implications concerning the use of soft crates as in its view, they do not offer
sufficient protection to dogs. They have asked that we point out that dogs should not
be left unattended in soft crates. There have been instances where dogs have escaped
from soft crates which have not been securely fastened, or have been left at the ringside.
We therefore ask that if you use soft crates, you do not leave the dogs unattended either
in the hall, or in an open car park.
DOGS IN VEHICLES ON HOT DAYS
Your dog is vulnerable and AT RISK if left in a vehicle in high temperatures and even on
days considered as slightly warm.If your dog is found to be at risk forcible entry to your
vehicle may be necessary without liability for any damage caused.
IDENTIFICATION OF DOGS
It is a Kennel Club requirement that exhibitors display the exhibitor/bench number on
their cage or container at all times. This is particularly important when cages etc. are
not on benches and at unbenched shows. Each exhibitor is responsible for proving
their own crate or cage identification and should note that the original exhibit/bench
number card as provided by the show society must not be used for this purpose.
It is important to be able to contact exhibitors and identify dogs where a dog may be in
distress or where the crate might be blocking a passageway. At benched shows soft
crates may only be put on benches if they are the appropriate size for both the dog
and the bench, and the crate can be securely attached to the bench.
These points were introduced with the safety of all in mind, but most importantly that
of the dog, and to minimise the potential incidents and injuries.

a) Those dogs declared Best of Breed.
b) The dog declared Best from Any Variety Not Separately Classified classes in each Group or on each day.
c) The dog declared Best from Any Variety Imported Breeds Register class or classes in each Group or on each day.
12. Exhibits will not be admitted to Best in Show competition after a period of ten minutes has elapsed since the announcement

on time, and then only with the special permission of the Show Management.
13. Exhibitors must not pick up dogs by their tails and leads when lifting them nor handle a dog in a manner which causes its feet
not to touch the ground when on the move. This is not acceptable. Exhibitors should note that such practice would constitute
harsh handling and reports of such practice will be referred to the Committee under Kennel Club Show Regulation F11.
914. All exhibitors must be familiar with Kennel Club Regulation F (Annex B) - Regulations for the Preparation of Dogs for
Exhibition.
15. All dogs resident outside of the UK must be issued with a Kennel Club Authority to Compete number before entry to the

16. Dogs in Vehicles on Hot Days. 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 the Kennel Club Regulations in this respect may be referred to the Board for
disciplinary action under Kennel Club Rules and Regulations.
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 KC licensed events.
• 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.
• If your vehicle is not air-conditioned seriously consider whether travelling to the show is a good idea at all.
• The vehicle should be as fully ventilated as possible, and plenty of stops should be taken, with lots of water available
to drink.
• Ensure your dog is not sitting in full sunlight. There should be plenty of free flowing air around the dog.
• When at the show, never leave your dog in the vehicle.
• 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.
• 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.
17. 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 the 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.
18. Not for Competition entries will be accepted. Details of each dog so entered must be recorded on the entry form and must
be Kennel Club registered.
19. No modifications will be made to this Schedule except by permission of the Board of the Kennel Club, which will be followed
by advertisement in the Canine Press wherever possible.
20. The Show committee reserves to itself the right to refuse, on reasonable grounds, any entries. If in the opinion of the
Show Secretary, Show Manager or Judge any dog is considered not in a fit state for exhibition owing to disease, savage
disposition, or any other cause, the dog may be excluded or removed from the Show on the instruction of the Show
Management. Once excluded or removed from the Show, the dog MUST NOT be brought into the Show at any time
under any circumstances, and the case must be reported in full to the Kennel Club. The entrance fee will be forfeited.
21. No animal other than an exhibit will be allowed within the precincts of the Show. Exhibits Not For Competition may be
entered and a notice with the dog's name printed on it may be shown over the bench. Guide dogs for the blind and hearing
dogs for the deaf may be admitted with Show Management permission.
22. The Catalogue will contain the owners' names in each breed in alphabetical order with their dogs in numerical order.
23. The Committee will not be in any way responsible for any claim for injury or compensation occasioned by or arising out
of the holding of the Show, or by reason of the act or default of any person in attendance or present thereat. It is on this
understanding only that entries are received.
24. Except when securely caged, all dogs MUST be on a lead for the duration of the Show, including in the exercise area
provided.
25. Conversation is not allowed in the judging ring. Exhibitors showing dogs will not be permitted to hold conversation with
the Judge during the competition. Any exhibitor who persists in addressing the Judge, after being requested not to do so
by the Ring Steward, the Judge or any of the Show Committee, will be reported to the Kennel Club. NO PERSONS, other
