There should be plenty of free flowing airaround 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 alwayshave 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 forextended lengths of time. Remember, if you feel hot your dog is very likely to feel much hotter and dehydrated, and thiscould 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 BENECESSARY WITHOUT LIABILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE CAUSED.Anyone whose dog is entered at a Kennel Club licensed event should take all reasonable stepsto ensure the needs of their dog(s) are met, and should not put a dog’s health and welfare atrisk by any action, default, omission or otherwise.

an entry or entries at this show shall be deemed to have agreed to abide by these Rules andRegulations and it is on this understanding only that entries are received.

22. The Committee of this show cannot be held responsible for products advertised or sold bystandholders at the show, and remind exhibitors that such products may not meet therequirements of the Regulations for the Preparation of Dogs for Exhibition.

23. Exhibitors/handlers are responsible for clearing up and removing any loose hair or fouling fromdogs in their charge, or any other litter, whether from the car park, the exercise area or fromany other part of the venue.

24. Parents/Guardians please note, well behaved children are welcome but those in charge ofchildren will be held fully responsible for their actions and any damage caused within theenvirons of the show.

25. Owners, handlers, exhibitors or any other person in charge of a dog at a Kennel Club licencedevent must ensure at all times that the dog is kept under proper control whilst at the licencedvenue including its environs, car parks and approaches.

26. A dog may be disqualified by the General Committee from any award, whether an objectionhas been lodged or not, if proved amongst other things to have been registered or recorded ashaving been bred by the selected judge. This shall not apply to a judge appointed in anemergency.

The Society will arrange for the dispersal of suitable receptacles to assist compliance with regulation F8(a).

Attraction of Exhibits F(1) 17fThe attracting 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 that it ceases.

Soft CratesThe 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 sufficientroom available and when they can be safely secured.

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