EXHIBITORS PLEASE NOTE: (Chapter 4, Section 4.1.3 of CKC Dog Show Rules) A judge officiating at a show held under these rules shall not be subjected to indignities of any kind during the progress of the show. It shall be the duty and obligation of the club holding the show to see that this rule is effectively carried out.

Entry fees shall NOT be refunded after the closing date. Nor in the event that a dog is absent, disqualified, excused by Veterinarian or Judge, or barred from competition by action of the Show Committee, or because it has been entered incorrectly.

Dogs and children must be kept under control as a courtesy to fellow exhibitors and spectators. Attention Foreign Exhibitors! Effective Jan/1992 all dogs that are foreign-born and foreign-owned and enter Canada for the sole purpose of entering CKC (Canadian Kennel Club) events will no longer require a CKC registration number but will require an ERN- Event Registration Number. This ERN does not register a dog with CKC for breeding purposes as defined in the Animal Pedigree Act but rather enables a foreign-owned dog to be awarded titles by the Canadian Kennel Club. Each dog must have its own number. To obtain an ERN, mail or fax a photocopy of the dog s registration certificate with certified cheque, money order, VISA or MasterCard number (expiry date, cardholder s name and signature). Provide your complete address for return of the ERN to you. Cost is $55.85. ERN must be applied for within 30 days of first day of entering a CKC EVENT. A CKC ERN registration form can be downloaded from the CKC website: http://www.ckc.ca CKC FAX # 416.675.6506 EXHIBITORS PLEASE NOTE Listing fees are required for any dog without an individual CKC/ERN Registration number. The owner(s) must then submit an application for registration to the CKC within thirty (30) days. Failure to comply with these rulings will automatically cancel all points on record. Please use the official entry form enclosed. Cheques post-dated to closing date WILL be accepted. Any NSF cheques will be assessed a $25 service charge. Tendering a dishonoured cheque or declined credit card in payment of an entry fee shall be considered non-payment of said fee and is an offense punishable by disciplinary action and cancellation of awards (Chapter 8.8.2 CKC Dog Show Rules). No entry will be accepted without payment in full. There will be no refunds on duplicate entries or overpayments. The owner of the dog entered in this show is entirely responsible for any error in the entering of their dog, regardless of how, or by whom the entry was made. Withdrawal of entries prior to closing may be made by telephone, but MUST BE FOLLOWED UP IN WRITING, and be received by the Show Secretary no later than the official closing. If written, or electronic notification is not received, the dog will remain entered in the show.
