2 PREMIER OPEN SHOW The General Committee of the Kennel Club wishes to formally acknowledge the achievement of those good Open Show Societies, which continually schedule successful, well-attended shows. Therefore a new category of Open Show titled the Premier Open Show, which carries with it a Crufts qualification for those declared Best of Breed, will be available to societies whose shows have regularly achieved an average class entry of 5 plus dogs. Each qualifying Best of Breed will receive a certificate (which the Kennel Club will provide to the Society) confirming Crufts qualification. In order to qualify for Crufts the breed classification must schedule more than three classes (five classes for Stud Book Band E breeds). The Officers and Committee of The Royal Welsh Agricultural Society Ltd Canine Section are delighted to have been granted Premier Open Show status for the sixth time The BOB winners declared in the following breeds all qualify for Crufts 2015: Staffordshire Bull Terrier Border Terrier Spaniel (Cocker) Spaniel (Welsh Springer) Retriever (Golden) Retriever (Labrador) Irish Setter Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Pug Chinese Crested German Shepherd Dog Shetland Sheepdog Welsh Corgi (Pembroke) Whippet Lhasa Apso FOULING BY DOGS: As required by the Kennel Club, may we remind exhibitors that they are responsible for clearing up any fouling made by dogs in their charge, whether it be inside the hall or outside.

All dogs resident outside of the UK must be issued with a Kennel Club Authority to Compete number before entry to the show/event can be made. All overseas entries without an Authority to Compete number will be returned to the exhibitor/competitor. 17. Dogs in Cars 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 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. 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 General Committee for disciplinary action under Kennel Club Rules and Regulations. Exhibitors/Competitors are reminded that show societies have the right under Kennel Club Regulation to refuse any entry. 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. Any owner, competitor, handler or other person in charge of a dog is required to remove as soon as possible any fouling caused by their dog(s) at any Kennel Club licensed show within the licensed venue and within the environs of that event including car and caravan parks and approaches. 20. 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 and 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). 21. A dog may be disqualified by the General Committee from any award, whether an objection has been lodged or not, if proved amongst other things to have been: a) registered or recorded as having been bred by the scheduled Judge, this shall not apply to a Judge appointed in an emergency; b) exhibited without payment of appropriate entry fees. 22. Every exhibitor shall ensure that whilst the dog is being exhibited, its handler shall display the correct ring number.
