at EQUESTRIAN CENTRE, MOULTON COLLEGE

Health and Safety: A nominated Safety Officer will be in attendance throughout the Show. Exhibitors and spectators are reminded that just as The Rottweiler Club 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. They are therefore expected to take the greatest care to avoid guy ropes, uneven surfaces and other hazards which are inevitable and integral elements of a dog show. Those bringing and using portable items of equipment such as folding chairs, trolleys, cages and grooming tables also have a responsibility to ensure that their tools, equipment and furniture is used and erected safely and does not constitute a hazard to others. Exhibitors are also reminded that they should wear appropriate clothing and footwear for the prevailing conditions on the site. Exhibitors show at their own risk and if they consider conditions are not ideal or are unsafe they may withdraw their dog/s from classes.

• JUDGES' PROFILES •

Mr Peter HughesMy father had his first kennels in 1935, born and bred with dogs GSDs, St Bernards & Corgis (Pembrokes).

I was a kennel boy for Mrs Thelma Gray at 8/10 years of age (summer holidays). Thelma Gray was the first importer of Rottweilers. I saw many photos whilst working there.

My first Rottweiler was from John Harpham Whaplode Kennels in 1966, shown lightly (as she did not like it) but worked in Obedience and Working Trials. My next Rottweiler was from GBOS Kennel shown, but also worked in Security and Working Trials.

I married into Herburger Kennels. Many Champions made up in UK and overseas including first Champion working as a security dog, Ch Herburger Countess Natasha. Herburger has imported many dogs from USA and Germany.

Working Life; Professional Dog Trainer working mostly with Scent Narcotics, Explosives, (Rottweiler as one of the first Explosive Detection Dogs in UK) CDs, Mobile Phones, Medical, Cadaver Land and Water, Water Leaks, Electric Leaks and many more Scent Detection Work.

We moved to Bulgaria and imported a number of Rottweilers from Romania.

The points I look for in the Rottweiler are Confirmation and Temperament.

Special Awards — Miss Corinna Diamond (Kydeneam)

Firstly, I would like to thank the Club for inviting me to judge the Special Stakes at your up and coming Championship Dog Show in 2020. I am so excited and look forward to your entries, please support those of us who are up and coming and need experience in order to perfect our judging skills.

I have adored and owned Rottweilers for over 20 years. The breed versatility is a particular passion of mine and I have an interest all aspects of the dog. I am a qualified Canine Behaviourist and have worked as a Dog Trainer for many years. I have previously been a Committee Member of The Rottweiler Club and am currently a member of The Midland Rottweiler Club. I have also previously been the Rottweiler Breed Health Coordinator, raised money for various Rottweiler charities and my own dogs have represented the breed in the Discover Dogs area for Crufts.

Prior to having my daughter 3 years ago, I was very actively showing my dogs for many years across the country and abroad although my team is now retired. I began judging to ensure quality specimens of the breed are rewarded and recognised. I now regularly steward at Rottweiler shows in order to keep myself busy and in touch with people who share my passion, working closely with judges from all over the world I continue to learn something new at each and every show. Again I look forward to your entries.

Corinna Diamond (Kydeneam)

16. 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 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.

17. 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 Board for disciplinary action under the Kennel Club Rules and Regulations. The use of pinch collars, electronic shock collars, or prong collars, is not permitted at any show licensed by the Kennel Club. This shall apply at the venue or within the precincts of the show.

Failure to pay entry fees and/or bank charges will result in the exhibitor being dealt with by the Kennel Club.

22. The Committee is empowered to exclude or remove any dog which is not in a fit state for exhibition from disease, vice, natural or other causes. If such exclusion takes place either before or after the dog is judged, the entry fee will be forfeited. Vicious dogs must not be brought to the Show. Exhibitors are held responsible for any damage done by their dogs.

23. The Committee will not be in any way responsible for any claim for injury or compensation occasioned by or arising out of the holding of the Show or by reason of the act or default of any person in attendance thereat. The Committee will be most anxious for the care and safety of the dogs sent for exhibition and for any other property entrusted to them, but it must be distinctly understood by exhibitors and all other persons that the Committee will not be responsible for the entire or partial loss, detention or damage to dog(s), cages, etc. or any property whether arising from accident or any cause whatever, nor for any act or omission of themselves, their officers, agents, servants or others, and it is on this understanding only that entries are received.

24. The judge is instructed and empowered to withhold the prize in any class if in his opinion the dog(s) exhibited do not possess sufficient merit.

No person other than the exhibitor (officials excepted) will be allowed in the ring during the judging. A Judge’s decision shall be final except in a case of fraud or misrepresentation or where a mistake has been made bona fide by the judge.

25. No animal other than those entered at the Show shall be allowed within the precincts of the Show. 26. Should any question arise not provided for in these Rules and Regulations, the decision of the Committee shall

be final, subject only to appeal to the Kennel Club. The Committee of the Kennel Club shall be the main Court of Appeal in all questions or disputes of any kind whatsoever except where such powers are delegated by the Kennel Club (arising out of Kennel Club Rules & Regulations).

27. Every exhibitor making an entry/entries for this Show shall be deemed to have agreed to abide by Kennel Club Rules & Show Regulations.

28. 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. This Regulation applies before (at any time during the set up period at the venue), during the event and afterwards (at any time during the breakdown of the event).

29. Any owner, competitor, handler or other person in charge of a dog is required to remove as soon as possible any fouling caused by their dog(s) at any Kennel Club licensed show within the licensed venue and within the environs of that event including car and caravan parks and approaches. An exercise area will be provided. Please use this facility. Buckets and shovels will be available in the rings and other locations and are to be used for this purpose.

30. In the event of fire or similar emergency, owners and/or handlers must remove all dogs from the hall and assemble outside away from the building. Do not attempt to leave the showground, this could obstruct the arrival of emergency vehicles.

31. Any person found to be interfering with, or attempting to feed any dog other than their own or those for which they are responsible for, will be reported to the police and the Kennel Club.

32. Parents or temporary guardians are responsible for children they bring to the Show, particularly in respect of nuisance, vandalism and damage to property. Should we have trouble in this respect, we claim the right to reject from this venue, the parents or temporary guardians, the children and their dog(s). No refund will be made in respect of lost entries. Parents or temporary guardians will be held financially responsible for any act of vandalism or damage by their children, and their entries may be refused at future Shows.

33. The Committee can accept no responsibility for products advertised or sold by Trade Stands at this show, and would remind exhibitors that grooming products on sale may not meet the requirements of the Regulations for the Preparation of Dogs for Exhibition.

34. Soft Crates. The Kennel Club has drawn attention to the potential health & safety implications concerning the use of soft crates at shows and 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.

35. Each exhibitor is responsible for providing their own crate or cage identification detailing that exhibit number, this should be displayed at all times. The original exhibit number as provided by the Show Society MUST NOT be used for this purpose.
