Only undocked dogs and legally docked dogs may be entered for exhibition at this show OUR BEST IN SHOW JUDGE Mr Chris Quantrill (Seejaycue) My first pedigree dogs back in 1969 were Cavalier King Charles Spaniels whichmy former wife and I bred for a short time. In 1985 we obtained our first Bullmastiff.

I started judging in 1989 and progressed many years later to awarding CCs in 1999. Since then I have awarded CCs in Leonbergers and this year will award CCs in Siberian Huskies. I am on the A3 list for non CC breeds and I am awarding CCs in Dogue de Bordeaux in New Zealand 2014. I have had the privilege to judge in Austria, Australia, Denmark, Holland, New Zealand, Russia and the USA.

I am Chairman of Dunstable CA and acting Chair of the Estrela Mountain Dog Club. After winning the Dog and Bitch CCs in 2010 with our homebred Bullmastiffs, I gave up showing to concentrate on helping other breeds.

My thanks to Beckenham CA for inviting me to judge BIS and I am sure I will be treated to some exceptional dogs.

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. 18. 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. 19. Any owner, competitor, handler or other person in charge of a dog is required to remove as soon as possible any fouling caused by their dog(s) at any Kennel Club licensed show within the licensed venue and within the environs of that event including car and caravan parks and approaches. 20. The owner, exhibitor, handler or other person in charge of a dog at Kennel Club licensed events must at all times ensure that the dog is kept under proper control whilst at the licensed venue, including its environs, car and caravan parks and approaches. This Regulation applies before (at any time during the set up period at the venue), during the event and afterwards (at any time during the breakdown of the event). 21. Exhibitor Passes will NOT be sent. Please enclose a stamped addressed envelope or postcard of an acknowledgement of receipt of postal entries is required. 22. Any costs incurred through incorrectly completed or dishonored cheques will be passed on to the exhibitor concerned. Any exhibitor failing to pay entry fees and/or costs incurred will be dealt with by the Committee of the Kennel Club.
