6 Vaccination guidelines for dogs entered in the show The vaccination regulations adopted by Svenska Kennelklubben apply to the show. Non- Swedish exhibitors are responsible for obtaining information on the rules and regulations for importing dogs into Sweden and reimporting into the exhibitor s native country. Upto-date information on the import of dogs to Sweden is available on the Swedish Board of Agriculture (Jordbruksverket) The Swedish Kennel Club s vaccination regulations The vaccination regulations adopted by Svenska Kennelklubben apply at dog shows and trials, as well as at any other public canine event. The organiser is responsible for checking the vaccination certificates of all dogs. To be eligible for participation in shows or trials, a dog must have an up-to-date distemper vaccination. Distemper vaccination Participating dogs must have been vaccinated against distemper in accordance with the following: Dog under 1 year: vaccinated when no younger than 10 weeks old. Dog over 1 year: vaccinated when no younger than one year old, with the most recent subsequent vaccination having been carried out within the past 4 years. First-time vaccinations must have been carried out at least 14 days before the day of competition. Parvo vaccination Svenska Kennelklubben recommends that all dogs be vaccinated against parvo. Please ask your own vet for advice on the parvo vaccines available. Kennel cough vaccination Svenska Kennelklubben recommends that all dogs be vaccinated against kennel cough. Rabies vaccination Sweden is a rabies-free country, and it is, therefore, important that all dogs imported into the country are vaccinated against this disease. For up-to-date information, please visit the Swedish Board of Agriculture's (Jordbruksverket) website Worming Tapeworm (Echinococcus) can cause serious illness in humans and dogs. Tapeworm carried by foxes can be spread by dogs to humans via wild berries or mushrooms. If tapeworm carried by foxes spreads to Sweden it may threaten Swedish open-air recreation and the opportunity for people to enjoy berries and mushrooms picked in the countryside. It is, therefore, of the utmost importance that dogs are wormed before they

7 are brought into Sweden. For up-to-date information, please visit the Swedish Board of Agriculture's (Jordbruksverket) website NB! The vaccination requirements for the import of dogs to Sweden are more stringent than the vaccination regulations for the show. For more information on vaccination regulations, visit For up-to-date information on requirements associated with bringing dogs into Sweden, visit the website of Swedish Board of Agriculture (Jordbruksverket) Cropped and docked dogs The regulations for docked dogs at the World Dog Show 2008 and the associated breed club shows (those which form part of the Circuit) differ from those which normally apply to dogs competing at trials and shows in Sweden. During the week 1-6 July 2008, the following applies: Ears Dogs cropped in a country where, at the time the cropping was carried out, cropping was not permitted may not compete at the show. Tails Dogs cropped in a country where, at the time the cropping was carried out, cropping was not permitted may not compete at the show. National regulations regarding the doping of dogs Preparation of dogs for exhibition (coat, nose and skin) No dog whose coat, nose or skin has been treated with substances intended to change the colour or texture thereof may be exhibited. This includes the use of colourants, hair spray, gel, mousse, chalk, talcum powder etc. Only preparations which are clearly intended to aid combing/brushing (conditioner) and/or reduce static electricity may be used on an otherwise untreated coat prior to exhibition. Doping and other inappropriate measures The exhibition of sick or injured dogs is not permitted, nor is the exhibition of dogs which have been subjected to measures aimed at inappropriately altering their appearance, performance or reactions, or intended to conceal signs of injury or illness. For details of regulations regarding prohibited treatments and measures, please see National regulations regarding the doping of dogs, which also includes instructions on how to apply for exemption from the above regulations. It is incumbent upon the person responsible for a dog to ascertain how a specific treatment or other measure may affect the eligibility of that dog to participate in breed shows, trials or competitions. When the show committee/trial management/competition management decides to carry out tests with the aim of investigating the issue of doping or other prohibited action, it is incumbent upon the person responsible for a dog to make that dog available for testing and for any further examination resulting from the test.
