What does JW stand for at the end of the show name????
I should know, and will probably cringe when I hear it as it is so obvious, but can someone enlighten me please.

Thankyou Chloe.

Can I ask, what is a Junior Warrant, also, how does a dog qualify for Crufts?

A Junior Warrant is a tilte a dog (or bitch) earns between the ages of 6 & 18 months.  Points are won from class wins at both open and Ch show - 1 points for an open show win, 3 points for a Ch show win.  There has to be 3 dogs or more present to claim the points.  It gets more complicated with regulations about only 1 show per week counting, and points being claimed from Bob or group wins (cant remember the actual requirements h ere, they keep changing it!)  You need 25 points to claim the title, with a certain number of them abtained from Ch show wins. 

To qualify for Crufts you need to be placed 1st 2nd 3rd in qualifying classes at Ch shows where CCs are on offer for the breed.  The KC publish different "bands" for which classes qualify for which breeds.

This is probably a great oversimplification of both cases, but gives you a rough ides :)

So if a how has JW in the title it means JW winners can compete ? if it  doesnt say Jw ????

I don't quite understand the question. A Junior Warrant is a title won by a young dog, so it is entitled to put the letters JW after its name. To my knowledge it doesn't restrict entry to classes at all.

me being simple im afraid... i thought she said "jw" in the show title ... not thinking she meant the DOGS show title ..i thought the actual "show" name ...........................i know i know !! lol
