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 Board for disciplinary action under the Kennel Club Rules and Regulations

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.

17. 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.

18. No modifications will be made to this Schedule except by permission of the Board of the Kennel Club, which will be followed by advertisement in the Canine Press wherever possible.

19. Should any judge be prevented from fulfilling his/her engagement the committee reserve the right to appoint another judge. Exhibitors may withdraw from competition but no entry fees can be returned.

20. The Committee will be empowered to exclude or remove any dog which is not in a fit state for exhibition, either from illness, disease, vice, natural or any other causes and if such exclusion takes place either before or after judging the entry fee will be forfeited.

21. The Committee of South of England Gundog Club cannot accept any responsibility for products advertised or sold by stand holders at the Show and exhibitors are reminded that grooming products on sale may not meet the requirements of the Regulations for the Preparation of Dogs for exhibition.

22. The Committee will be most anxious for the care and safety of all dogs entered for competition and for any property entrusted to them, but it must be clearly understood by all exhibitors and any other persons that the Committee will not be responsible for the entire or partial loss, or detention of, or damage to any dog or person from any cause whatsoever, nor for any act or omission of themselves, their officers, servants, agents and others, and it is on this understanding only that entries are received.

23. Parents will be held responsible for the actions and any damage caused by their children within the environs of the Show. 24. Any owner, competitor, handler or other person in charge of a dog is required to remove as soon as possible any
