If your dog does not have an ATC number it cannot be entered for Crufts. ATC applications for Crufts entries must be received at the Kennel Club by 23rd December 2015. We are unable to guarantee issuing an ATC number for any application received after this date. To apply please complete the Form 14 – Application for an Authority To Compete (ATC) number. www.Crufts.org.uk TRAVELLING WITH YOUR DOG Crufts exhibitors must ensure that their dogs fully comply with the entry rules for bringing dogs into the UK. In the case of dogs being brought from some countries, this will involve a process which can take a number of months to complete prior to travel to the UK and Crufts. For further details please see www.defra.gov.uk/take-pet-abroad. If you require a health certificate for your dog to travel back home from Crufts, this cannot be supplied by the volunteer veterinary staff in the Veterinary Centre. However, as a service to exhibitors, Crufts has arranged for a veterinary surgeon from the 608 Veterinary Group to visit Crufts each day to arrange certification for you. This service will be available between 4.00 pm and 5.30 pm each day in the Veterinary Centre and exhibitors will be required to pay veterinary staff at the time of examination - the cost being £45 per certificate. Payment must be in cash as cheques and credit/debit cards cannot be accepted. Appointments can be made at the Veterinary Centre throughout the day.

Any other substance (other than water) which may be used in the preparation of a dog for exhibition must not be allowed to remain in the coat or on any other part of the dog at the time of exhibition (Kennel Club Show Regulation F(B) refers). No act or operation which alters the natural conformation of a dog or any part thereof may be performed except: a) Operations certified to the satisfaction of the General Committee of the Kennel Club; b) The removal of dew claws of any breed; c) Operations to prevent breeding provided that such operations are notified to the Kennel Club before neutered dogs are shown; Nor must anything be done calculated to in the opinion of the General Committee to deceive.

Any examination thus ordered will be made by a person having, executive authority who shall have a written directive from the Kennel Club in their possession. Samples may be taken for further examination and analysis.

It is advised that you arrive at the show between 7.00 am and 8.00 am. After this time the traffic to the show becomes very busy and it is best to arrive early so that you may settle the dog on its bench. Please allow an hour to get from the car park to your bench in the mornings. There are shuttle buses from some of the car parks and the buses also take dogs. However, a walk from the car park provides good exercise for your dog. What do I need to bring with me? Please ensure that you bring: • Your own dog bowl and water - this is essential • Grooming brush • Blanket for the bench • Passes Car Parking Exhibitors can apply for a car park pass on the entry form for which there is a charge of £10 per car or £12 per car if paid on the day. Dog exhibitors are encouraged to park in the South or East Car Parks as first choice (see page 65 for further details) 24 Crufts 2016 Can I get to the NEC on the train with my dog? Yes. Birmingham International Station is situated two minutes from the NEC. Security Please never leave your dog alone on the bench, and also take care of any items of value. Where can I exercise my dog? There are specific exercise areas (filled with wooden chippings) and it is expected that all exhibitors clear up after their dogs in all areas. There are bags available for the removal of waste in all areas of the halls. Are there vets at Crufts if I need assistance? There is a large veterinary team on site for the duration of the show. There is no charge for any emergency treatment. Please also be aware that their role is not to administer any treatment for pre-existing conditions, but every patient is well looked after! Where can I groom my dog? You are able to groom your dog near to the benching area, but please make sure that you do not block any walkways. There are also specific areas signposted for breeds that require extra grooming. Please be sure that you are aware of the Kennel Club Rules and Regulations on grooming of dogs for show purposes, including clearing up any grooming waste. Ring Stewards and additional help The Group stewards can be recognised by their green blazers and steward badges. They are in each hall and they ensure the smooth running of the judging in the rings and are also there to assist exhibitors to find their rings and appropriate benching. They are also there for any emergency situation. When can I leave the show? There is a set time of 4.00 pm which all exhibitors can leave the show. Early removals are only given in exceptional circumstances. What happens if I win Best of Breed? You will be told by the steward to report to the Arena collecting ring by a specific time. The Group stewards can also help you. Once you are in the Arena, you will be told how the Group judging will proceed. You will also have your photograph taken which will appear on the Crufts results website for historical recording. Please ensure that you allow time to get to the Arena and take all your luggage with you. You will be allowed to have one extra person in the collecting ring only. If you have any other guests, they will be able to watch in the Arena free of charge on every day except Sunday. If your dog wins Best of Breed on the Sunday, then two guests will automatically be issued with two Best in Show tickets. Where do I collect winners’ money? Prize money will not be paid at the show - it will automatically be sent to winners within 30 days of the show. What do I do if I have an entry query at the show? If you have any queries or problems during the show, the Dog Exhibitors’ Enquiries Office is situated in the Organiser’s Office in Hall 3 and is there expressly to help you. Please tell us at once if you think something is wrong. We are there to assist and are anxious everyone should have a trouble-free and enjoyable day. CLASS ELIGIBILITY Class definitions are included in the show schedule and exhibitors should make themselves aware for which class their dog is eligible. Champions from a country with which the Kennel Club has a reciprocal agreement are eligible to enter the following classes: • Open Class • Age restricted Classes Junior Champions are not recognised by the Kennel Club and therefore, when entering please do not put 'Ch' before the dog's name. Overseas wins: A CACIB is equivalent to winning a Challenge Certificate in the UK and should be counted as such. A CAC is equivalent to winning a Challenge Certificate in the UK and should be counted as such. Any points won that count towards the title of Champion, under the rules of any governing body recognised by the Kennel Club must be included when deciding class eligibility.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR EXHIBITORS TRAVELLING BY CAR Arrangements for dog exhibitors travelling by car to Crufts 2016 are as follows: DISABLED BADGE HOLDERS Please note: The NEC charges £12.00 per car for parking at its venue - including Disabled Badge Holders. You can apply and pay for a car parking pass on the Crufts entry form at a reduced fee of £10.00, however, it will only be valid when used alongside an official disabled badge on the day. The following procedure will remain unchanged for parking whether a car park pass is paid for in advance or on the day. When you arrive on site at the NEC please follow signage directing you to the disabled badge holder car parks. The NEC has a limited number of spaces available to disabled badge holders adjacent to Hall 5. These spaces are the initial ones to be allocated and are done so on a first come first served basis. Please note that this area is filled very early. Once this area is full, disabled badge holders are then directed to the South Car Parks or the most appropriate area - please follow the NEC signage. A shuttle bus service is provided for disabled visitors from these car parks to the Piazza, where there are dog entrance doors at Hall 1 and Hall 5. At the end of the day a return service will take you back to these car parks. The NEC shuttles have good accessibility but may not be able to accommodate certain cages and trolleys due to their size. EXHIBITORS WHO ARE ACCOMPANIED BY A HELPER Dog exhibitor drop off will be conducted from the car park opposite Hall 5 between 0600 and 0800 hours. Please note that access is strictly between these hours and access after 0800 hours is not permitted. Vehicles with dog exhibitor drop off passes should access the NEC inner area via Gate 1, where they will be directed immediately left into the car parking area opposite hall 5. They should then follow signs taking them along a designated taxi route which runs the length of the car park, alongside the fencing to a holding area opposite VE door 5.7. Vehicles will then be held on the car park and allowed access to their nominated VE door when space is available and it is safe to do so. Access will be monitored by our traffic team. Please note that there will be a drop off time allowed of 10 minutes per vehicle in order to give all exhibitors the opportunity to unload and remove their vehicles to outer car parks before 0800 hours. Vehicles remaining at the dog exhibitor doors over their time limit, will be at risk of being removed by our tow vehicle. Once exhibitors have completed their drop off, they will leave site via Gate 2 and park their vehicle in NEC outer car parks as in previous years. Vehicles should not remain on Hall 5 car park. Should exhibitors wish to unload their vehicle from the designated car park area opposite Hall 5, via VE door 5.7, they can do so from the car park but will still be restricted to the 10 minute drop off time to enable further exhibitors the opportunity to unload. Please ensure passes are clearly displayed on your vehicle AT ALL TIMES, including arrival at Gate 1 so that our staff can allow you through without unnecessary delay. The remainder of the car park opposite Hall 5 will be available for blue badge holders as in previous years.. Exhibitors requiring this facility are asked to complete payment on the entry form. Special passes will be issued on a first come, first served basis and will be despatched with exhibitors passes prior to the show. The charge to use this facility will be £14.00 per day including parking fee. THERE WILL BE NO PICK UP FACILITY. EXHIBITORS WHO ARE NOT ACCOMPANIED BY A HELPER Unaccompanied dog exhibitors and those not wishing to drop off can park in South, East or West car parks. Please note that only a limited number of spaces are available in the West car park and the West car park has only one exit so there may be delays in leaving this car park. Please refer to the location map on Page 65. It should be noted that shuttle buses will be running from the South and East car parks all day. There is, however, no shuttle bus service to and from the West car park. All NEC shuttles will accommodate dogs, however additional coaches bought in to supplement the shuttles may not be able to transport dogs. Car park tickets covering South, East or West car parks can be ordered in advance, price £10.00, on the dog entry form enclosed and will be despatched with the exhibitors passes prior to the show. This pass will enable you to park in any of the three car parking areas (subject to availability).

POSTAL ENTRIES CLOSE ON MONDAY, 4th JANUARY 2016 (PO POSTMARKED) On-line entries close: Monday, 18th January 2016 Crufts 2016 77 GAMEKEEPERS' CLASSES All classes are sponsored by Chudleys Dog Food Judges: Ms D. Hall, Mrs V. Payne & Mrs T. Twist Ring Numbers 25, 26 & 35 Hall 5 COMPETING WITH DOCKED DOGS IN THE UK Dogs which were docked before 6th April 2007: If your dog was docked either in the UK or in a foreign country before 6th April 2007 then it may compete at Crufts. Dogs which were docked on or after 6th April 2007: If your dog was docked on or after 6th April 2007 it is not, under the law, permitted to be shown at Crufts (where the public are admitted on payment of a fee). The BASC Gamekeepers' classes consist of two categories as follows: 1. THE GAMEKEEPER CLASSES are strictly confined to gundog owners who are employed as bona fide head, single-handed, beat or under-keepers, river keepers or stalkers, or those retired (The dog may however be handled by anyone else at the request of the owner). 2. THE WORKING GUNDOG CLASSES are for dogs who have regularly worked in the shooting field, and the owners must provide written confirmation from the keeper/shoot organiser that their dogs have been worked as members of his regular beating/picking up team. HOW TO ENTER PLEASE NOTE: Entries for Gamekeepers' classes cannot be made on-line and therefore must be made on a 'paper' entry form. For each of the GAMEKEEPER/WORKING GUNDOG CLASSES send your completed entry form to Crufts by post to the address on the entry form. This must be accompanied by the relevant signed declaration (this can be found on the reverse of the entry form). For the two TEAM COMPETITIONS: 1. Photocopy the Crufts entry form four times, completely fill in one form per dog and owner clearly indicating which is the reserve dog, staple or pin all four forms together (No other entries on these forms please). 2. Put the team name on each form. 3. Also indicate name and address of the Young Handler accompanying your team (if you are bringing one). 4. The declaration must be completed by the Gamekeeper or shoot organiser where you predominately work your dog and must accompany all individual Gamekeepers' Class entries (this can be found on the reverse of the entry form). 5. Send all of the above to Crufts but please ensure that all the paperwork is properly completed otherwise your entry may become void. A dog may be entered in the Gamekeepers' Classes if it has not won a qualifying prize in a breed class at a Championship Show the previous year, or is not otherwise qualified, that is, if it is not eligible for entry in breed classes. Only the winners of the Gamekeeper Classes (not the Working Gundog Classes) will compete in "Best in Show - Gamekeepers' Ring" for the Northesk Memorial Trophy. It is the responsibility of the handler to report to the collecting ring steward before the advertised start time of their individual class. Dogs will not be allowed entry into the show ring if judging of the last dog in the class has commenced. Prizes will be awarded at the judge's discretion. ANY VARIETY POINTER, SETTER, H.P.R.

Dogs in Vehicles on Hot Days. 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. 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 General Committee for disciplinary action under Kennel Club Rules and Regulations. Exhibitors/Competitors are reminded that show societies have the right under Kennel Club Regulation to refuse any entry. 19. Not for Competition entries will not be accepted. 20.

An individual has the right to lodge an objection to a dog only if he/she is the owner or handler of a dog competing in the same breed or class. An objection may, however, be lodged by an official of the Show or by anyone so deputed by the Kennel Club. It will be the responsibility of the individual who lodges the objection or the official (as appropriate) to substantiate the grounds for the objection. The Kennel Club will substantiate the grounds for an objection made on its behalf. 6. Any objection by an individual related to an infringement of these Regulations must be made in writing to the Show Secretary at his/her office before the close of the Show and the individual must produce evidence of identity at the time of lodging the complaint. The attention of exhibitors is drawn to the fact that any advertisement for a coat preparation or shampoo or similar in either Schedule or Catalogue does not imply that the use of such preparation may not contravene Kennel Club Regulations for the preparation of Dogs for the Exhibition - F(B). This also applies to any coat preparation or shampoo or similar on sale at Crufts. The attention of exhibitors is directed to the Declaration they are required to sign on the Entry Form.
