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. 19. 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. 20. No modifications will be made to this Schedule except by permission of the General Committee of the Kennel Club, which will be followed by advertisement in the Canine Press wherever possible. 21. Any owner, exhibitor, 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 environs of that event including car and caravan parks and approaches. Adequate receptacles for the disposal of such fouling will be provided. 22. No person shall carry out punitive correction or harsh handling of a dog at any time whilst at the licensed venue including its environs, car and caravan parks and approaches. 23. 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). 24. 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. 25. Every exhibitor shall ensure that whilst the dog is being exhibited, its handler shall display the correct ring number. 26. Safety of dogs: The Committee will not be responsible for the loss, detention of or damage to any dog, person or property, whether arising from accident, or any other cause whatever, or any act or omission of itself, its officers, agents, servants, or others or the damage done by the exhibitor to any person or property. 27. Responsibility: 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. Boston Championship Dog Show do not accept any loss, damage, or theft of any dog, tables, boxes, cages, or personal effects at this Show. 28. Safety Officer: A Safety Officer will be in attendance throughout the show. Exhibitors and spectators are reminded that just as Boston & District Canine Society has a responsibility to ensure the health and safety of all those attending their event, all those present have a duty of care for their own safety. They are therefore expected to take the greatest of care to avoid hazards which are inevitable and an integral element at a dog show. Those bringing portable items of equipment, such as folding chairs, trolleys, cages and grooming tables also have a duty of care to themselves, their equipment and their dogs. Exhibitors are also reminded they should wear appropriate footwear for the prevailing conditions on site, exhibitors show at their own risk if conditions are not ideal. 29. Abusive Behaviour: The Society will not tolerate any kind of abusive behaviour to its Officers, Committee or Staff on its showground or car parks. Anyone found to be behaving in this manner will be reported to Security and asked to leave, a report will be sent to the Kennel Club. 30. Cancellation or Abandonment: Entry fees will not be refunded in any circumstances where any act of God or any other unforeseen circumstances causes the cancellation of the show after entries have closed.

If you should move into the next age range after you have already qualified, the YKC will invite you into the correct age group at Crufts. The method for Crufts qualification is a points based system as follows: 1st Place = 30 points; 2nd Place = 15 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 gets 30 points in any one group, they will qualify to enter a dog from that group at Crufts 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. All points are reset to 0 on 1st January each 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. Before competing, please view a full list of the YKC competition rules at: and follow the compete tab.

IMPORTED REGISTER For breeds confined to the Imported Breeds Register and only when an Interim Breed Standard has been published by the Kennel Club.
