Attraction of Exhibits F(1) 17f : The attraction of attention of exhibits by any method from outside the ring is prohibited, it is the duty of the Judge, Steward or Show Management noticing such attraction to ask it to cease.

Identification on Cages / Crates : Exhibitors are reminded that it is their responsibility to display their Exhibit / Bench number on Crates / Cages at all times. This is a Kennel Club requirement. The original Exhibit / Bench number card, as provided by the Show Society, must not be used for this purpose.

Soft Crates : The Kennel Club has drawn attention to the potential health and safety implications concerning the use of soft crates at shows as in its view, they do not offer sufficient protection to dogs. Soft crates left unattended at the ringside are a potential hazard particularly when occupied by large breeds, and it has been known for dogs to become distressed and move soft crates along the floor and also escape. Soft crates should only be used when there is sufficient room available and when they can be safely secured.

Junior & Adult Handling JUDGE: JACQUELINE WARD (Mianja)

YKC Members’ Handling Crufts 2019 Qualifier Only dogs of six (6) calendar months of age and over on the day of competition are eligible for entry into an YKC qualifying class. Classes for handling are decided by the handler’s age. The classes are divided into three age groups:

· 6-11 years (6 years and up to, but not including 12th birthday); · 12-17 years (12 years and up to, but not including 18th birthday); · 18-24 years (18 years and up to, but not including 25th birthday).

Please enter the class age category you will be on the day of the qualifier. 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 Beagle, 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 2019. 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: http://www.ykc.org.uk/ and follow the compete tab.

17. DOGS IN VEHICLES 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 dont’s travelling to and whilst at K.C. 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 your 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 likely to feel much hotter and dehydrated, and this could lead to dire results. Please look after your dogs 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. Right to refuse entries : Exhibitors/Competitors are reminded that Show Societies have the right under Kennel Club Regulations to refuse any entry.
