5 INTRODUCING YOUR JUDGES Dog Judge: Mrs C. Zingg (Rayleas) Mrs Zingg owned her first Golden Retriever, Sebastian of Eidrah 'Bass', in Bass was bred by Mrs Margaret Hardie. His sire was the lovely dual purpose Champion Crouchers Leo (owned and bred by Mrs E. Melville) and his dam was a delightful Ch Camrose Tallyrand of Anbria daughter. Bass was an excellent dog in the field and very successful in competitive Obedience qualifying to work in Test B. With his good looks and natural willingness to please, Bass immediately set standard for all future Rayleas Goldens. Over the last 10 years she has, in England, judged 4 Championship Shows giving CCs to both dogs & bitches. Her last judging appointment for the SGRS was in 2008 where she awarded CCs to the bitches. Bitch Judge: Mrs S. Golder (Summeramba) Myself & my husband Garry, bought our first Golden Retriever in 1993, although we didn't start showing until 3 years later. But it wasn't until 1997 we began showing seriously and we were lucky enough to make up Sh Ch Twilly Iphiginia of Summeramba a few years later. Our first homebred Show Champion was Sh Ch Summeramba Stilton JW and we have also bred some Champions in Europe. My career of judging started in 2000, and then in 2010, I awarded my first set of Challenge Certificates, and have completed 4 more judging appointments in the UK. I have also judged in parts of Europe. Suzi Golder (Summeramba Goldens)

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

10 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.

The entrance fee of a dog entered but not sent to the Show will be forfeited. 23. Should any Judge be prevented from fulfilling their engagement, the Committee reserve to themselves the right to appoint another in their place. 24.

Exhibitors, Competitiors and Spectators are reminded that just as Southern Golden Retriever Society has a responsibility to ensure the health and safety of all those attending their event, all those present have a duty and responsibility for their own safety.

The Safety Officer and committee members of the SGRS will be patrolling all areas of the show and car park throughout the show. 36. 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 from any act or omission of itself, agents, servants or others or the damage done by the exhibitor to any person or property. 37. Parents will be held responsible for any damage to property caused by their children within the environs of the show. 38. In the event that the show is cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances, the club/society will refund fees, less reasonably incurred expenses, on receipt of a stamped addressed envelope submitted within one month of the show date. 39. 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.
