what does single breed and sub group shows mean please
as the kc have said that a pup of 4 months are allowed nfc at these shows
is single breed show a show that is for example just gsd,or bc etc
but a sub group show?

i think a sub group show is the likes of buba--where they all are dogs from the utility group. ,

I think that would be a Grpup show Dizzy, sub group shows are for instance a show for all the Dachshund ntrrfd, or like the sighthounds of Ancient Egypt.  I think the collie shows with both coat types (i.e.two breeds) would count also.

When did the KC say aged 4 months for not for comp.???  last I looked it was 6 months!  when did this change because it will be really useful to know if it is 4 months now for NFC!

NFC - not for competition but can go and look around and be socialised?

it is with immediate effect,and you can take a pup of 4 months and over to be socialised not shown,and must be put as nfc,you can contact the press office at the kc to find out more, i found it out on another site,for obedience.

NOT FOR COMPETITION ENTRIES


The Kennel Club has been receiving numerous requests from individuals and clubs on the issue of allowing puppies between the ages of four and six months to enter shows  'Not for Competition'.



The General Committee has also been considering a proposal from the KCLC Breeds Council that puppies aged four calendar months and over are eligible to enter 'Not for competition' at breed club and sub-group club shows.



In considering this proposal the General Committee were mindful that a similar situation has been in operation at Obedience and Agility Shows for a few years and therefore agreed to extend this to single breed and sub-group shows.



Therefore, with immediate effect four month old puppies may be entered at single breed and sub-group shows with the provisos that the club/society offer this facility.



Kennel Club Regulations will not be altered to take account of this decision until the success or otherwise of this change is reviewed in two years time.
