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.

Members must be aged 6-24 years (for members 6 years and up to, but not including 25th birthday). Please note that membership of the YKC terminates on a member s 25th birthday. Please note that the YKC office will only accept wins from classes that are listed on the YKC website. If a show schedules a YKC class which has not been approved by the YKC Management Team and published on the website, it will not qualify for Crufts. Please note that in order to enter any YKC Crufts qualifying competition you must be a fully paid up member at the time of entry. If you enter a Crufts qualifier and you have not previously paid your membership fee then any award will not count towards qualification for Crufts. Therefore it is important to renew and maintain YKC membership as current if you wish to participate in qualifying Crufts competitions. Crufts 2017 Qualification Procedure: The first placed member only in each dog group at the qualifying show will qualify for Crufts. A rosette and prize money is awarded. If the first placed member has already qualified, the Crufts qualification will roll down to the next member (down to 3rd place only). The erection of tents or gazebos within the precincts of the show is strictly prohibited at all times.
