Kennel Club Regulations F12 – Dog Fouling & Grooming Waste
Any owner, Exhibitor or handler or other person in charge of a dog is required to
remove immediately any fouling caused by their dog(s) and/or any grooming
waste at any Kennel Club Ltd. licensed venue and within the environs of that
event including car and caravan parks and approaches.
Any organisation holding a Kennel Club licensed event is required to provide an
adequate number of receptacles for the disposal of such fouling waste.
The Chalking, Powdering or Spraying (with the exception of water) of exhibits
within the precincts of the Show is forbidden.
SOFT CRATES
The Kennel Club has drawn attention to the potential health and safety implications
concerning the use of soft crates at shows as in its view, they do not offer sufficient
protection to dogs. Soft crates left unattended at the ringside are a potential hazard
particularly when occupied by large breeds, and it has been known for dogs to become
distressed and move soft crates along the floor and also escape. Soft crates should
only be used when there is sufficient room available and when they can be safely
secured.
Note for Exhibitors
Each exhibitor is responsible for providing their own crate or cage identification and
should note that the original exhibit/bench number card, as provided by the Show
Society, must not be used for this purpose.
N.B. Exhibitors of Puppies
Puppies are not eligible to enter AVNSC classes if their breed is scheduled – if there is
no puppy class in your scheduled breed you can enter in any breed class, the puppies
will then be eligible to compete for Best Puppy in Breed if they are unbeaten by another
puppy in their breed. Alternatively, puppies with breed classes but no puppy breed
classes may be entered in AV Puppy and, if unbeaten by another puppy, can compete
for Best Puppy in Group. Puppies of breeds not scheduled at this show can enter any
of the AVNSC classes in their Group and, if unbeaten by another puppy, can compete
for AVNSC Puppy in their Group.

DOGS IN CARS 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’t’s travelling to and whilst at K.C. 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 your 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 likely to feel much hotter and dehydrated,
and this could lead to dire results. Please look after your dogs welfare.
