Looking for some clarification please.
There are several exhibitors in my breed, labradors, who have puppies coming out towards the end of the year. They would like to qualify them for Crufts 2012. Fellow exhibitors have told them that their last chance is LKA in December but others has also joined the debate and said that Boston 2012 is also a qualifier. In the schedule for Boston it clearly states on page 6 that 'Wins at this Show (in the required classes) qualify for CRUFTS 2013'. However the Crufts website, http://www.crufts.org.uk/crufts-2012-qualification, says the qualifying dates are 7th January 2011-6th January 2012. The first day of Boston is the 6th of January. I know that Boston used to be a qualifier for the same year but for several years now it has been a  qualification for the following year. Surely the society and the KC would not allow only those in the Gundog group to qualify and not the rest of the groups.

Alyson, the Kennel Club have confirmed it is a qualifier for 2013 ONLY....
