may be withdrawn from Any Variety (AV) Classes when judged before Breed Classes.
c. Proviso: For the purpose of this Regulation, dogs beaten in competition for Stud Dog, Brood Bitch, Progeny, Brace and
Team or a Special Award confined to one breed will not be considered to be a beaten dog.
12. Best in Show The dog declared Best in Show is a dog which has competed and is unbeaten by any other dog exhibited at the
same Show.
a. Shows Judged on the Group System: (Definition: Shows judged on the Group System includes classes for breeds within

3) Best in Show: Best in Show must be selected from the Best of Group winners provided they are unbeaten. Reserve
Best in Show must be selected from the remaining Group winners following the selection for Best in Show.
b. Withdrawal from other Competition: Dogs which become eligible for Best of Group and Best in Show may be withdrawn
from all other competition other than breed classes and Best of Breed prior to the competition for Best of Group or Best

AV Classes when judged before Breed Classes.
c. Proviso: For the purposes of this Regulation, dogs beaten in competition for Stud Dog, Brood Bitch, Progeny, Brace
and Team or a Special Award confined to a single breed, will not be considered to be beaten dogs.
13. Exhibits will not be admitted to Group or Best in Show competition after a period of ten minutes has elapsed since the
announcement that exhibits are required for judging, unless they have been unavoidably delayed by previous judging not
being completed on time, and then only with the special permission of the Show Management.
14. No modifications will be made to this Schedule except by permission of the General Committee of the Kennel Club, which
will be followed by advertisement in the Canine Press wherever possible.
15. All exhibitors must be familiar with Kennel Club Regulation F (Annex B) - Regulations for the Preparation of Dogs for
Exhibition.
16. All dogs resident outside of the UK must be issued with a Kennel Club Authority to Compete number before entry to the
show/event can be made. All overseas entries without an Authority to Compete number will be returned to the exhibitor/
competitor.
17. Dogs in Cars 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. 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.
Exhibitors/Competitors are reminded that show societies have the right under Kennel Club Regulation to refuse any entry.
18. Not for Competition entries will be accepted. Details of each dog so entered must be recorded on the entry form and must
be Kennel Club registered.
19. The owner, exhibitor, handler or other person in charge of a dog is requested to remove as soon as possible any fouling
caused by their dog(s) at any Kennel Club licensed event within the licensed venue and within the environs of that event
including car and caravan parks and approaches. Adequate receptacles for the disposal of such fouling will be provided.
20. 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).
• DEFINITIONS OF CLASSES •
In the following definitions, a Challenge Certificate includes any Show award that counts towards the title of Champion under the
Rules of any governing body recognised by the Kennel Club. Wins at Championship Shows in breed classes where Challenge
Certificates are not on offer shall be counted as wins at Open Shows. In the case of a dog owned in partnership and entered
in Members' classes or competing for Members' Specials each partner must at the time of entry be a member of the Society.
In estimating the number of awards won, all wins up to and including the seventh day before the date of closing of entries shall
be counted when entering for any class i.e. Wednesday, 14th January 2015. Wins in Variety classes do not count for entry in
Breed classes but when entering for Variety classes, wins in both Breed and Variety classes must be counted. A First Prize does
not include a Special Prize of whatever value.
A dog is not eligible for entry in Variety Classes (excluding AVNSC Classes) unless also entered and subsequently exhibited in

(3) A dog in Any Variety Veteran Class.
(4) A dog in Any Variety Champion Class.

(6) A dog which is withdrawn from exhibition in breed classes as a result of the appointment of an emergency judge.
(7) A dog in Good Citizen Scheme Classes.
(8) Exhibits bred by the scheduled breed Judge.
If an exhibitor reports before the judging of a class or classes that a dog has been entered which is ineligible, the exhibitor may
choose one of the following options: (1) Withdrawal
The dog may be withdrawn from competition subject to the conditions of Regulations 9(j) and 20.
(2) Transfer
a) If a dog is ineligible for a class or classes as regards its breed, colour, sex, weight or height the Show Secretary shall
transfer it to the equivalent class or classes for the correct breed, colour, sex, weight or height and, in the event of
there being no equivalent class, Minor Puppy and Puppy excepted to the Open class for the correct breed, colour, sex,

twelve calendar months of age, eighteen calendar months of age or twenty four calendar months of age respectively,
the Show Secretary shall transfer the exhibit to the Puppy class, Junior class or Yearling class respectively for the
correct breed, colour, sex, weight or height and in the event of there being no Puppy, Junior or Yearling class to the
Open class for the correct breed, colour, sex, weight or height.
c) For any reason other than the above, the Show Secretary shall transfer it to the Open class for the correct breed,
colour, sex, weight or height.
