which has competed and is unbeaten by any other puppy exhibited at the same Show. A puppy is a dog of six<br />
and not exceeding twelve calendar months of age on the first day of the Show. Where the Best in Show is a<br />

Withdrawal from Other Competition: Dogs which become eligible for Best in Show maybe withdrawn from all<br />

Brace and Team or a Special Award confined to a single breed, will not be considered to be beaten dogs.<br />
13. Exhibits will not be admitted to Best in Show competition after a period of ten minutes has elapsed since the<br />

Dogs for Exhibition.<br />
16. All dogs resident outside of the UK must be issued with a Kennel Club Authority to Compete number before<br />
entry to the show/event can be made. All overseas entries without an Authority to Compete number will be<br />
returned to the exhibitor/competitor.<br />
17. Dogs in Cars on Hot Days. Your dog is vulnerable and at risk during hot weather and the Kennel Club offers<br />
the following guidance to help guide you through the do’s and don’ts travelling to and whilst at KC licensed<br />
events.
• When travelling to a show please take a moment to consider whether the route to the show is on a busy<br />
holiday route, and leave earlier to avoid increased time in traffic jams.<br />
• If your vehicle is not air-conditioned seriously consider whether travelling to the show is a good idea at<br />
all.<br />
• The vehicle should be as fully ventilated as possible, and plenty of stops should be taken, with lots of water<br />
available to drink.<br />
• Ensure your dog is not sitting in full sunlight. There should be plenty of free flowing air around the dog.<br />
• When at the show, never leave your dog in the vehicle.<br />
• Keep the dog in the shade - take your own shade for example a large umbrella and always have plenty of<br />
water available to drink so your dog stays well hydrated.<br />
• Avoid your dog taking part in unnecessary exertion, or from standing in exposed sunlight for extended<br />
lengths of time.<br />
Remember, if you feel hot your dog is very likely to feel much hotter and dehydrated, and this could lead to<br />
dire results. Please look after your dog’s welfare. WARNING: IF YOUR DOG IS FOUND TO BE AT<br />
RISK FORCIBLE ENTRY TO YOUR VEHICLE MAY BE NECESSARY WITHOUT LIABILITY<br />
FOR ANY DAMAGE CAUSED. Anyone whose dog is entered at a Kennel Club licensed event should<br />
take all reasonable steps to ensure the needs of their dog(s) are met, and should not put a dog’s health and<br />
welfare at risk by any action, default, omission or otherwise. Breach of Kennel Club Regulations in this respect<br />
may be referred to the General Committee for disciplinary action under Kennel Club Rules and Regulations.<br />
Exhibitors/Competitors are reminded that show societies have the right under Kennel Club Regulation to refuse<br />
any entry.<br />
18. Not for Competition entries will be accepted. Details of each dog so entered must be recorded on the entry<br />
form and must be Kennel Club registered.<br />
19. Entry fees will not be refunded once an entry has been made. If acknowledgment is required, a stamped addressed<br />
postcard with "Receipt" written on the reverse side should be enclosed for the Secretary's signature.<br />
20. Should a judge be prevented from fulfilling his/her engagement, the Committee reserve to themselves the right<br />
to appoint another in his/her place. Exhibitors are at liberty to withdraw their dogs from competition but no<br />
entrance fee will be refunded.<br />
21. The judges are instructed and empowered to withhold the prize or prizes in any class if, in their opinion, the<br />
dog or dogs so not possess sufficient merit in the schedule of prizes.<br />
22. All judges are required to take classes in the order in which they are entered in the Judging Book.<br />
23. The Officers will be most anxious for the care and safety of dogs brought for exhibition, but it must be<br />
distinctly understood by exhibitors and all other persons that the Committee will not be held responsible for<br />
loss, detention of or damage to any dog or other property, whether arising from accident or any other cause<br />
whatever, nor from any act or omission of themselves, their Officers, servants, agents or others, and it is on<br />
this understanding that entries are accepted.<br />
24. The Committee of the Kennel Club shall be the final court of appeal or umpire in all questions or disputes of<br />
any kind whatsoever (except where such powers are delegated by the Committee of the Kennel Club), arising<br />
out of Kennel Club Rules and Regulations. A person attending to or entering a dog for any Show shall, by such<br />
act, be deemed to have agreed with the Committee of the Kennel Club or delegated authority, as the case may<br />
be, under the provision of the Arbitration Act 1899, or any statutory modification thereof.<br />
25. Any instructions in the nature of the Rules and Regulations printed for convenience in other parts of this<br />
<strong>Schedule</strong> shall be deemed to be the Show Regulations of the Committee and shall have the same effect as if<br />
they formed a part of these Regulations.<br />
26. No animal other than a dog entered at this Show will be allowed within the precincts of the Show during its<br />
continuance.<br />
27. The attracting of the attention of exhibits by any method from outside the ring is prohibited. It is the duty of<br />
the Judge, Steward or Show Management noticing attraction to ask that it cease.<br />
28. Any owner, competitor, handler or other person in charge of a dog is required to remove as soon as possible<br />
any fouling caused by their dog(s) at any Kennel Club licensed show within the licensed venue and within the<br />
environs of that event including car and caravan parks and approaches. Adequate receptacles for the disposal<br />
of such fouling and waste will be provided.<br />
29. The Show will be held under Kennel Club Rules and Show Regulations. All dogs must be registered at the Kennel<br />
Club, and where a change of ownership has taken place, the transfer must be made previous to the Show.<br />
30. The Committee reserve to themselves the right, on reasonable grounds, to refuse any entries they may think<br />
fit, to exclude or remove any dog not in a fit state for exhibition from disease, savage disposition, vice, or any<br />
other cause (vide Rule 15).<br />
31. The Committee of the Show can accept no responsibility for products advertised or sold by standholders at the<br />
Show and remind exhibitors that grooming products on sale may not meet the requirements of the Regulations<br />
for the Preparation of Dogs for Exhibition.
32. The owner, exhibitor, handler or other person in charge of a dog at Kennel Club licensed events must at all<br />
times ensure that the dog is kept under proper control whilst at the licensed venue, including its environs, car<br />
and caravan parks and approaches. This Regulation applies before (at any time during the set up period at the<br />
venue), during the event and afterwards (at any time during the breakdown of the event).<br />
33. A dog may be disqualified by the General Committee from any award, whether an objection has been lodged<br />
or not, if proved amongst other things to have been: a) registered or recorded as having been bred by the<br />
scheduled Judge, this shall not apply to a Judge appointed in an emergency; b) exhibited without payment of<br />
appropriate entry fees.<br />
34. Every exhibitor shall ensure that whilst the dog is being exhibited, its handler shall display the correct ring<br />
number.<br />
35. Gazebos and tents may not be erected without prior permission of the show management.<br />
36. It is the responsibility of the parent/guardian that children attending the Show should be kept under supervision<br />
at all times.<br />

sites - this is for news purposes only. There is no objection to the general public taking photographs<br />
or video film of general views of the Show, provided that these are for private use only. Specific dogs<br />
may be photographed only with the approval of the exhibitor.<br />
No photography or filming is permitted in breed judging rings whilst judging is actually taking place.<br />
However, judges may allow it to happen at the end of classes or after the Challenge Certificate<br />
is awarded. Filming and flash photography is allowed from outside the rings at all times unless the<br />
operation of the camera is actually affecting exhibits. However, if a powerful flash unit is used or it is<br />
clear that exhibits are being affected, a ring steward or the judge is empowered to stop the person<br />
concerned. Cinematograph or television equipment may only be used at the Show if a permit has<br />
been issued by the Organisers.
