DOGS IN CARS ON HOT DAYS Your dog is vulnerable and AT RISK if left in a vehicle in high temperatures and even on days considered as slightly warm. Please take care of your dog. If your dog is found to be at risk forcible entry to your vehicle may be necessary without liability for any damage caused.

WELFARE OF DOGS An exhibitor (or competitor) 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 knowingly put their dogs’ health and welfare at risk by any action, default, omission or otherwise. A breach of this Regulation may be referred to the General Committee for disciplinary action under Kennel Club Rules and Regulations.

TRIAL ETIQUETTE We should never fail to acknowledge the generosity of hosts which makes field trials possible. Clearly it is desirable that as many competitors as possible are present when the presentations are made at the conclusion of a field trial: not least because that is the most obvious way of showing such appreciation. There may be occasions, however, when a competitor feels it important or necessary to leave the ground before the end of the trial. If that happens, she or he must be sure to show due courtesy by informing the Chief Steward before leaving. Good manners, which cost nothing, should be at the heart of everything we do: especially where our hosts are concerned.
