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 Show will be held under Kennel Club Rules and Regulations. All dogs must be registered with the Kennel Club, and where a change of ownership has taken place, the transfer must be made prior to the close of entries. 20. Exhibitor passes will not be sent out, but each exhibitor will be allowed free admission to the Show. If receipt of entry is required, please enclose a stamped addressed envelope with your entry. 21. In all cases, the decision of the judge is final, except where fraud, misrepresentation or breach of the rules is discovered or a bona-fide mistake is made by the judge. 22. Should a judge be prevented from fulfilling his/her engagement, the Committee reserve the right to themselves to appoint another in his/her place. Exhibitors are at liberty to withdraw their dogs from competition, but no entry fee will be refunded. 23. The Committee reserve to themselves the right, on reasonable grounds, to refuse any entries that they may think fit, to exclude any dog not in a fit state for exhibition from disease, savage disposition, vice or anyhow. If other cause (vide Rule 15). 24. Any objections to a dog must be made under Kennel Club Rule No animal other than a dog entered at this Show will be allowed within the precincts of the Show during its continuance. 26. All persons making an entry or entries at this Show shall be deemed to have agreed to abide by Kennel Club and Regulations and by the Show Regulations of the Committee.

It is the duty of the Judge, Steward or Show Management, noticing such attraction to ask it to cease. 28. Any instructions in the nature of the Rules and Regulations printed for convenience in other parts of this Schedule shall by receipt of entry be deemed to be the Show Regulations of the Committee and shall have the same effect as if they had formed part of these Regulations. 29. Any owner, exhibitor, handler or other person in charge of a dog is required to remove immediately any fouling caused by their dog(s) and/or any grooming waste at any Kennel Club licensed show within the licensed venue and within the environs of that event including the car and caravan parks and approaches.
