2 WELCOME TO SUFFOLK and DOGS IN NEED CHAMPIONSHIP SHOW Where we can offer you the beautiful Suffolk Showground acres of mown grass with good roadways and good drainage, and close to more acres of woodland for cool dog-walking, plus agility, including of course the prestigious DINAS Classic Tournaments. For your day off on Thursday it s also close to the coast, unless of course you ve done something silly like take your agility seriously and qualified for the Thursday Finals! Or you can just chill out in the sunshine, drink in hand, and watch those serious folk strut their stuff in the Finals in Ring 1. There s just about everything you might want in the Retail Park just down the road from the Showground, including Sainsbury, who stock up especially for us each year, and lots of places to eat. On the showground itself there s Trade Stands and Food Stalls. NB: All Music Entertainment will take place in the Quiet Dog Inn, where you MAY NOT bring your own drink. Bingo & Quiz will take place in Whispers, where you are welcome to bring your own drink.

SHOWERS & LOOS positioned throughout the site. --oooooo Dogs in Need was originally created as a holiday with your dogs. Despite the massive increase in size, we still try to retain the holiday atmosphere, with the added buzz of competition and that feel-good feeling that our enjoyment is helping many charities. Every year, many thousands are distributed because of YOUR generosity, so enjoy yourself you deserve it! To get a really warm glow, read the thanks and testimonials on display in the information centre. With your help and support, Dogs in Need has shown these hard-working people that they ARE noticed and appreciated, and hopefully we ve helped them to carry on when the going s got tough. We extend huge thanks to all our sponsors who help us to raise funds by sponsoring individual classes - Sainsbury s, who look after us so well each year, doggy businesses, local businesses, clubs and individuals, all help to raise funds for those important smaller charities. Fancy a class named after YOUR club next year? Or to record a special occasion? Have a chat with Rosemary and she ll be only too happy to help. We need your help to run this show 672 people just to keep the rings running smoothly. Camping is limited to 800 units and preference will be given to helpers. Please complete the Helpers Form if you are willing to help. YOU DON'T HAVE TO CAMP, OR EVEN RUN A DOG, TO HELP - THE MORE THE MERRIER (AND EASIER!). It's a great way to meet new people and make new friends. The more helpers, the less for each one to do and the more we can all have a holiday. And please help the helpers - the boot may be on your foot the next day! Don t worry if you ve never helped on a ring before now is the perfect time to have a go. Start gently with putting up poles, and you ll soon be running pads like a pro. Page 1

4 Unfortunately we must still mention the boring bits, but if we do it here then we don t need to do it over the PA! This schedule provides all the information you need to make the most of your week s holiday with your dogs. It also includes all the rules and guidelines covering the week, which must be strictly adhered to so to make the most of a good time we suggest you read through it. Security: ID bracelets will be issued on arrival Which Must Be Worn All Week Vehicle & Camping passes will be issued on arrival. These Must Be Displayed All Week These are for your safety and security. Replacement bands will be available from the Secretary. If you ve got DOGS or CHILDREN then this bit s for you which means it s for everybody. Rule 45: People or dogs acting in an unreasonable/irresponsible manner will be removed from the show and forfeit all fees paid. All under 18 s must be accompanied by an adult who will be held responsible for their conduct for the duration of the show. No more than 2 dogs per handler off lead in the showground exercise area. PLEASE CLEAR UP after your dogs and place in the bins provided on the showground. If you knowingly don't, we will tell you to leave - it s as simple as that. So BAG IT & BIN IT!! The Woods & Common are CLEAR UP areas please BAG IT & BIN IT in the bins provided on the showground. Please don t bring training equipment with you because we will not let you use it and you ll have carted all that weight around with you for nothing. Much better to use the space for another couple of bottles. If you have children with you then they are your responsibility, and are assumed to be under your supervision at all times. Yes even if they re 6ft tall and tower over you! This means you always know where they are and what they are doing. And if what they are doing is anti-social then we may ask you to leave. We may sympathise, but we don t condone. Parents, please advise your children on safety measures on site, with particular emphasis on road safety and bikes. Remember the 5mph speed limit doesn t just refer to 4 wheels but 2 wheels as well (and anything else you can find to move about on) This is a working showground (not a bowling green) consequently the ground cannot be guaranteed to be totally flat, there are dips and hollows, some maybe created by your own dogs. Please be careful and observant. If you see uneven ground that could be a hazard either bring it to the attention of the show manager or avail yourself of the pile of earth adjacent to ring 4 under the trees, which is there for the purpose of filling holes. For some of the activities at this show we may require you to sign a disclaimer. If you are unable to do this then we are sorry but you will not be able to participate. There will not be any measuring at the Show. There will be rubber coated contacts at this show. And of course - THE RULES - you do of course read them avidly on every schedule you receive, but could we ask you to read Rules 34 onwards again, just to make sure. These are particularly pertinent to the Dogs in Need show. All of the pages in this schedule relate to Rules and Regulations and must be adhered to. So this is a rule to read the Rules! Due to restrictions placed on us by the local council there will be a reduced PA area, but for all your information and announcements Radio Dogs In Need will be broadcasting again this year, wavelength will be near to last years 86.6 FM and will be confirmed with your running orders. This will be during show hours for general announcements and 24 hours a day for emergencies. Anyone whose dog is entered at a Kennel Club licenced event should take all reasonable steps to ensure that the needs of their dog(s) are met, and should not put a dogs 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 Warning: Your dog is vulnerable and AT RISK if left in a vehicle in high temperatures and even on days considered as slightly warm. Please take care of your dog. If your dog is found to be at risk, forcible entry to your vehicle may be necessary without liability for any damage caused. Dogs In Need is a Private event only open to Competitors & guests at DINAS discretion. It is not open to the general public. We wish everyone a week of good weather, good agility and lots of laughs. Have fun, and good luck in your classes. The Dogs in Need committee Page 3

5 WHAT CAN I ENTER? YOUR DOG MAY ENTER ANY 3 INDIVIDUAL CLASSES PER DAY FOR WHICH YOUR DOG IS ELIGIBLE PLUS ANY ELIGIBLE HELPING HANDS & YKC CLASSES That s basically it. Your dog can only enter a YKC class providing the handler is a member of the YKC (See page 6 for rules). Your dog can only enter Helping Hands if the handler does not run in any other class all week but helps at the show. Please note, the Junior Classic classes are included within the three-run limit, they are NOT extra classes. Just as easy - WHAT CAN'T I ENTER? NOT MORE THAN 3 INDIVIDUAL CLASSES PER DAY FOR WHICH YOUR DOG IS ELIGIBLE! (with the exception of the above exceptions!) Now everyone has the same number of runs - how s that for fairness? As usual a dog may only be eligible for, and therefore gain points towards, one Classic Final - although they could enter classes for different Classic heats (eg an ABC jumping and a Graded Jumping) - so you must tell us which Classic you want to earn points for. Full Classic rules can be found on page 7. WHAT DO I GET IF I M BRILLIANT? Agility Club Starters Challenge Small, Medium & Large and Agility Secrets Large & Medium please see page 6 for details of awards in these classes also see Any Size on page 13, with the exception of these we will be awarding:- Trophies to 1 st place in all classes, to second place if entries reach more than 30 and 3 rd place for more than 50. Rosettes to 10% in all classes. Clear Round Rosettes in all standard classes which must be collected at the ring as soon as you have got the necessary clear round. (Please also see rule 50) Separate awards for full height and lower height where scheduled. And the really clever clogs get the chance to compete in: THE WEEK S FINALS, where you can win: Trophies 1st - 3 rd for all Grades/Finals Rosettes: 1st 3rd + Finalists Rosettes Full details and Rules for the Classic Tournaments can be found on Page 7.

6 HOW DO I ENTER You will need: Entry form(s); Camping and Helpers Form; Declaration for under 18 s Complete an Entry Form for your competing dog(s). Please list classes in numerical order. Make sure you let us know which Classic you are competing for, especially if you have entered more than one type (say Grade 1-2 Jumping and ABC Jumping), if you don t we may have to assume which one. Make sure you list any Not For Competition dogs, They must be 4 months old or over, and registered or Name Applied For with the KC. If you are entering a Championship Class then you also need to list your dogs qualifications for this class. Your name will appear in the Championship Catalogue. Please check the class restrictions carefully we can t refund if you enter too many. If your dog is only entering the Helping Hands invitation class you still need to complete an Entry Form so that they get a ring number, otherwise they will be assumed not to be entered for competition. Simply write Helping Hands Only in the area provided for listing classes. Complete a Camping Form, if applicable and a Helpers Form (PLEASE) even if you re not camping and an under 18 s declaration form if applicable. Remember to tell us who you want to camp with and remember to tell the rest of your camping group to use the same name, (if John Brown says he wants to camp with Joe Bloggs, and Joe Bloggs says he wants to camp with John Brown they will probably both end up very lonely). Please nominate a main contact for your group in case of query. Indicate accordingly if you require electric hook up. Remember, it is your responsibility to provide a cable that is long enough to plug into the supply (minimum 25 mtrs). IT WILL REQUIRE A BLUE 3 PIN MALE CEE PLUG (CARAVAN TYPE) ON THE END. Electric hook-up can only be supplied if pre-paid, and is 240v supply only. All entries, camping & electric applications must be made on the appropriate official entry forms and paid in full by close of entries. Camping pitches are approximately 10m x 6m. If your unit plus any ATTACHED awning is over 10m in length remember to specify the length on the Camping Form in the box provided. If you pitch any other unit within your pitch area (eg tent, etc) there must be a minimum 3m gap left between units. These are fire regulations and MUST BE ADHERED TO. Any units not complying will be asked to move, so for your own sake please ensure you book enough pitches to accommodate your set-up. We cannot guarantee where any overflow camping will be sited. Camping numbers are limited to 800 helpers take preference if over subscribed. IF YOU DO NOT WANT YOUR ENTRY PROCESSING IF CAMPING IS FULL THEN YOU MUST TICK THE BOX ON THE CAMPING FORM. Rules 43, 49 and 53 also particularly apply, so to avoid any confusion here they are again: 43. For the safety of dogs/people it is the responsibility of those using electric hook-ups and/or generators to provide adequate protection for cables and their own lead. People camping in groups who require electric will be sited nearest to the electric supply points. 49. No camping units allowed on the Show ground before 9.00am Monday 13 th August Early show helpers will be notified by a committee member and must book in on arrival.camping numbers are limited to 800 helpers take preference if oversubscribed. The Show ground will be locked from 24.00hrs hrs each night. Camping units will be received Monday 13 th Saturday 19th between the hours of 9.00am 8.00pm only. 53. All camping roadways on site must be kept clear at all times. The erection of training equipment is forbidden. Read Page 2 again Put all your forms in a C5 (A5) envelope, so you do the minimum amount of folding, we do the minimum amount of unravelling, and you pay normal postage. REMEMBER IF YOU USE A LARGE A4 ENVELOPE, OR FOLD IT ALL UP REALLY SMALL INTO A SMALL BUT FAT ENVELOPE, THEN THE POSTAGE IS HIGHER. Underpayments not only cost a lot but will hold up your entry as we have to go and collect it. Make sure you put the correct address on...and finally- PLEASE DON T STAPLE!!! FINAL FINAL CHECK!!! JUNIORS - are you eligible? Check the junior classifications carefully Saturday s junior may be Tuesday s adult. Finally, please make sure you list all your NFC dogs you're bringing for a holiday - we'd hate to send them away with a stick attached to a tied spotty bag over their shoulder! AND IF IT'S STILL WRONG?... Because of the volume of entries, we may make the following assumptions concerning incorrect entries: INCORRECT FEES: under payment and we will chase you for the loot! Over payment, thank you very much for your generous contribution. (well, it is for charity!). Bounced cheque or fees remaining underpaid? We will return your entry... INCORRECT CLASS ENTRIES: for dogs entered in more than the allowed classes, we will remove them from the highest grade non-special agility class, followed by the highest grade non-special jumping class. Championship classes will not be cancelled. Juniors entered as an addition to a dog s three entries will be removed from the junior entry. If your entry is sent in early enough when we re still in bouncy mood, we ll ring you first to check, but as closing date approaches beware! Page 5

7 Helping Hands This class will be a Free of Charge invitation jumping event on Saturday, for all sizes and all grades (so borrow a good un). Handlers must not have run a dog in any other class during the week and, of course, must have helped at the show during the week. This class is for those noble helpers who do the work without running a dog. If it was just for anyone who helps then it would have about 2000 dogs in it! (We hope!). For your invitation to run see the Show Manager or Show Secretary. Maximum 2 dogs per handler. See also page 5 Helping Hands Only entries. RULES FOR THE AGILITY CLUB STARTERS CHALLENGE HEATS 1 The competition will be run under the relevant Kennel Club Regulations in force at the time. All handlers will be deemed to have agreed to abide by these rules and regulations. 2 Each Heat is open to all Grade 1-2 dogs of the correct size for each heat, each heat will offer awards for the heights on offer as follows; Rosettes 1 st 10 th in Large Height, trophies to 1 st & 2 nd, Rosettes 1 st 5 th in Medium & Small Heights, trophy to 1 st. Where the LHO is offered the Large, Medium and Small dogs will have combined awards. 3 ONLY Dogs handled by an Agility Club member at the time of competing (date of joining/renewal must be prior to the first day of the show) may qualify for the Final. In order to compete in the Final you must also be a current member of The Agility Club on the day of the final. 4 The competition will normally consist of between ten to fifteen Heats. The two highest placed Agility Club members in each Heat will go through to the Final, providing they have achieved an awarded place as detailed in paragraph 2. 5 Both handler and dog may only qualify once for each height Final. Each handler & dog pairing may only qualify once for the final. In the event of the highest placed dog(s) having qualified previously, the next highest placed dog(s) will qualify. 6 Finalists should normally compete at the height at which they qualified however if a heat takes place at a show with no LHO, they can choose to compete at the final at LHO. Should a handler qualify at LHO and wish to compete at FHO in the final this would be permitted. (Dogs will NOT be allowed to compete at LHO if qualified at FHO in a heat offering both height options) YKC Agility Dog of the Year Fully paid up members of the YKC aged 6 years and up to but not including their 18 th birthday can take part in these qualifiers. There will be six classes relating to the age of handler and size of dog as follows: - Under 12 (Handlers 6 years and up to but not including 12 th birthday) Large Dogs, Medium Dogs & Small Dogs. 12 and over (Handlers 12 years and up to but not including their 18 th birthday) - Large Dogs, Medium Dogs & Small Dogs.

To qualify for Crufts members must gain points by being placed 1 st, 2 nd or 3 rd in YKC Agility dog of the Year qualifying heats. To guarantee qualification, members must reach 30 points for the year. Any points gained will be for entry into Crufts the following year. Points are gained by achieving the following results: 1 st Place = 30 Points, 2 nd Place = 15 Points, 3 rd Place = 10 Points. All points are reset to zero (0) on 1 st January each year. The points are gained for the dog and handler combination. If one-member gains points with two different dogs they are not combined. A handler may only qualify once for the ADOY semi-final at Crufts if the handler has qualified with more than one dog the handler may choose between one of the qualified dogs to compete at Crufts. Standard marking will apply and jump heights will be appropriate for the size of the dog in accordance with H regulations in force at the time of competition. The judge will set the course and will consist of an agility round.

8 THE DINAS CLASSICS PLEASE READ THE RULES CAREFULLY! 1 The DINAS Classics will be in twenty four categories and include a separate final for LHO Large and ABC. Each Classic will have four qualifying classes, 2 agility and 2 jumping, for which points may be gained to qualify towards the Invitation Final including Lower Height Option Large Dogs. 2 Dogs may enter a maximum of any two Classic classes per day for which they are eligible, but may only qualify for one Final. If no Final has been nominated, and it is not clear which Final applies, then the Final may be assumed by us. 3 Points will be awarded according to any place achieved in each class of the nominated or assumed Classic, as per the official prize-giving for that class. 1st place will receive 50 points, 2nd place 49 points, etc. down to the last place awarded. 4 The main handler on the entry form will be the handler listed in the posted league tables, and will be the handler invited to compete in the Finals. If a change of handler is required, the main handler must notify Agility Aid in writing as soon as possible after the qualifiers have been declared but no later than 9.00am on the morning of the event. 5 A full listing of dog/handler combinations achieving points will be displayed at the Show after the first 2 heats and again after the 4 heats. Those appearing in the final listing up to and including the designated lowest place will be invited to take part in the Finals on Thursday 16 th or Sunday 19 th August In addition, two white dogs will be invited by the show Manager. Only handlers who have not qualified as a Finalist for that Classic may run as a White Dog. The 2 white dogs invited for each Final will receive a commemorative rosette. 6 Invited finalists MUST book in the morning of their Classic at Ring 1's score tent by the designated time or they will not be allowed to run. Booking in for Finalists is achieved by completing a commentary card (supplied in the score tent) and handing it in. 7 A list of invited Finalists will be displayed at the Show the evening of the last Classic heats for that Classic. 8 There will be a minimum of ten dogs qualifying from each grade in each final.

13 ELIGIBILITY FOR CLASSES In the following definitions of classes First Prizes or other prize wins are those gained in standard classes at any Kennel Club licenced Championship Agility, Premier Agility, Open Agility or Limited Agility shows (i.e.special classes and invitational events excepted). Only a first place with a clear round completed within the course time set by the judge will count towards grade progression. Standard classes may be scheduled for Agility Shows, as Agility classes or Jumping Classes. All standard classes must contain the Weaving Poles obstacle. Standard Agility classes must contain the following elements: A Ramp, Dog Walk and See-Saw. With this proviso classes are defined as follows:- Class Structure. A class may either be held as a Graded Class or a Combined Class. A Graded class may be scheduled for one or more consecutive Grades with separate results and awards issued for each grade. A combined Class may be scheduled for more than one consecutive grade with one overall set of results. Progression. Progression from each Grade will require one Agility win or three Jumping wins in standard classes at that grade, at either Full Height or the Lower Height Option, except that progression from Grade 5 will require 3 wins at Grade 5, one of which must be an agility class. Progression from Grade 6 will require 4 wins at Grade 6, two of which must be Agility classes. Results from Combined Classes will only count towards progression from the dog s current grade. Lower Height Option. Societies may offer the Lower Height Option to all dogs in that height category and may be offered to all grades. It is to be run as part of any Standard class as defined in the regulations and must be clearly identified in the schedule. Each relevant class will have two heights with a change part way through to raise/lower the jump heights and competitors must run at their entered heights. The order in which the heights will run must be detailed on the ring cards/ring plan. There will only be one course walking at the start of the class. In a class where the Lower Height Option is available the show organisers may offer one set of awards by combining the results of each height or may offer separate awards for each height category. Competitors will be allowed to walk the course set at Small, Medium or Large height without their dog(s) before the class begins. Hurdles may be raised/lowered during the course walking time if multiple heights are offered within the same class. When the Lower Height Option is scheduled a dog may only be entered at either the Full Height or at the Lower Height and cannot compete at a different height in any class at that competition, including special classes. For these purposes a competition shall be defined as all classes covered within the same schedule The Lower Height Option will be available to Large dogs only at this show. Points Progression. At the handlers discretion the dog may progress up to Grade 4 by winning 100 points at each grade, using the Agility Warrant points scheme (Regulation K3.c refers), except that there is no requirement for a minimum number of agility points. If this method of progression is selected, the handler must ensure the Show Secretary signs the dog s Agility Record Book at the first show entered at the higher grade. There is no time limit on this progression, however once a dog has progressed, it cannot return to a previous grade. Progression on points must be done prior to closing date of entries. It is not possible to change a grade on points once the entries have closed. STANDARD CLASSES. Only first prizes and points gained in standard classes at Kennel Club licenced Agility Shows may be used for progression through the classes. (A dog is only eligible for one grade).
