--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Regulation F(1)9.f - Effective 1-Jan-10
f. A dog must, at the time of entry for a Show, be registered as required by Kennel Club Rutes and Regulations in the exhibitor's name (or registration or transfer applied for). In the case of joint registered owners the full name of every registered owner must be given.
Where an owner makes an entry on behalf of another joint registered owner(s) or where an agent enters on behalf of a single or joint registered owner(s) such person must have the authority and consent from the single or joint registered owner(s) to sign the entry form on their behalf thereby binding them all to Kennel Club Rules and Regulations. In the event of any dispute, evidence of such authority and consent will be required.
A dog acquired subsequent to entry having been made at a Show may be exhibited as the new owner's property provided that an application for the transfer has been forwarded to the Kennel Club before the Show, and the new owner has undertaken to abide by the Regulations and conditions of the original entry form (and in accordance with the conditions set out above).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Show Schedule Entry Form - Effective 4-Nov-09
Earlier this year two changes were published to Kennel Club Regulations which affect the declaration all exhibitors and competitors sign when entering for shows or trials.
These changes confirmed that all registered owners must sign the entry declaration or there must be satisfactory written evidence of the consent of one owner to sign on behalf of one or more of the other joint owners and stated that a dog's owner(s) will not bring to a Show/Trial any dog which is suffering from a visible condition which adversely affects its health or welfare.
The revised declaration for Breed Shows is given below with the relevant changes in bold for ease of reference:
'I/We agree to submit to and be bound by Kennel Club Rules & Regulations in their present form or as they may be amended from time to time in relation to all canine matters with which the Kennel Club is concerned and that this entry is made upon the basis that all current single or joint registered owners of this dog(s) have authorised/consented to this entry. I/We also undertake to abide by the Regulations of this Show and not to bring to the Show any dog which has contracted or been knowingly exposed to any infectious or contagious disease during the 21 days prior to the Show, or which is suffering from a visible condition which adversely affects its health or welfare or to bring any dog which has been prepared for exhibition contrary to Kennel Club Regulations for the Preparation of Dogs for Exhibition F(Annex B). I/We agree without reservation that any Veterinary Surgeon operating on any of my/our dogs in such a way that the operation alters the natural conformation of the dog or part thereof may report such operations to the Kennel Club. I/We declare that where any alteration has been made to the natural conformation of the dog(s) the relevant permission to show has been granted by the Kennel Club. I/We further declare that I/we believe to the best of my/our knowledge that the dogs are not liable to disqualification under Kennel Club Show Regulations.'
Thanks for this -quite a lot there to remember.
