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 hotter and dehydrated, and this could lead to dire results. Please look after your dogs welfare.

12 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 as 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 General Committee for disciplinary action under Kennel Club Rules and Regulations. Right to refuse entries. Exhibitors/Competitors are reminded that show societies have the right under Kennel Club Regulations to refuse any entry. 18: Not for Competition. 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: Exhibits only are permitted within the precincts of the Show. 20: Should a judge be prevented from fulfilling his/her engagement, the Committee reserves the right to appoint another judge or judges in their place. Exhibitors may withdraw from competition but no entry fees can be returned. 21: The owner, exhibitor, handler or other person in charge of a dog at Kennel Club licensed events must at all times ensure that the dog is kept under proper control whilst at the licensed venue, including its environs, car & caravan parks and approaches. This regulation applies before (at any time during the set up period at the venue), during the event and afterwards (at any time during the breakdown of the event) 22: The Committee of the Show can accept no responsibility for products advertised or sold by stallholders at the Show and remind exhibitors that grooming products on sale may not meet the requirements of the Regulations for the Preparation of Dogs for Exhibition (KCSR(F)). 23. Exhibitors must not pick up dogs by their tails and leads when lifting them. 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 F Regulation for the preparation of dogs for exhibition F (B) 1. These regulations must be observed when a dog is prepared for exhibition and/or exhibited at any Kennel Club licensed event. Objections may be referred to the General Committee for disciplinary action under these show regulations and/or for disciplinary action under Kennel Club rule A 42. a. A dog found to have been exhibited in breach of these regulations will automatically be disqualified from exhibition at the show and from any award gained thereat. b. Unless the exhibitor provides a satisfactory explanation for the dog being exhibited in breach of these regulations, then he/she may be subject to further penalties of either a fine or as listed under Rule A a. No substance which alters the natural colour, texture or body of the coat may be present in the dog s coat for any purpose at any time during the Show. b. Any other substance (other than water) which may be used in the preparation of a dog for exhibition must not be allowed to remain in the coat or on any other part of the dog at the time of exhibition. 3.

13 (a) Operations certified to the satisfaction of the General Committee. (b) The removal of dewclaws of any breed. (c) Operations to prevent breeding providing that such operations are notified to the Kennel Club before neutered dogs are shown.

Any examination thus ordered will be made by a person having executive authority who shall have a written directive from the Kennel Club in their possession. Samples may be taken for further examination and analysis. 4. An individual has the right to lodge an objection to a dog only if he/she is the owner or handler of a dog competing in the same breed or class. An objection may, however, be lodged by an official of the Show or by anyone so deputed by the Kennel Club. It will be the responsibility of the individual who lodges the objection or the official ( as Appropriate) to substantiate the grounds for the objection. The Kennel Club will substantiate the grounds for an objection made on its behalf. 5. Any objection by an individual related to an infringement of these Regulations must be made in writing to the Show Secretary at his/her office before the close of the Show and the individual must produce evidence of identity at the time of lodging the complaint. 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 to benches, or that have been left at 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 in the car park. In case of Fire, please leave the building in an orderly manner & assemble on the grass at the front of the Restaurant Please Wear Sensible Shoes - Bring Your Own Chairs Dress Yourself & Your Dog Warmly
