• JUDGES' PROFILES •Abby Bellamy (Moontorn) I have been showing Flatcoats with my Mum since I was 6. I obtained my own kennel name in 2016 and bred my first litter in 2017 from which I kept a bitch. From the experience I have had so far I have loved judging Flatcoats and seeing them always happy.

Andy Cook (Milcook)I have owned and shown GSPs for the last 18 years and worked the GWP for over 6 years. I have shown and judged other HPR breeds over the last 7 years.

Marie Grady (Glenrioch)I have owned Golden Retrievers for over 18 years and I really enjoy showing my dogs. The highlights so far have been BIS at the Golden Retriever Club and Res CC at Crufts. I recently started accepting judging appointments now that my children are a bit older and look forward to judging at this lovely show.

Sue Harris (Barleyarch)I have been involved in dogs for almost 40 years, within this time we have owned or bred approximately 50 title holders winning just shy of 500 CCs. We are proud to say we have always worked and shown our dogs and we firmly believe in “Fit For Function”, and as Gundogs particularly meet this requirement it is always a delight to judge this group.

Mrs Hilary Jones (Redbornstoke)I first judged English Setters twenty years ago and later added other Gundog breeds to my CV. I am very fortunate in being able to work my Setters and Spaniels in the field. Judging is an honour as well as a great pleasure and I thank the Committee for their invitation.

Mandy Milford (Haramander)I have owned and shown Pointers for 20 years and been judging for 10 years. I was on the Southern Pointer Club Committee for 5 years and have been on the Salisbury and South Wilts Canine Society Committee for around 15 years. I am currently on the judging B List for Pointers.

Mrs Helen Moorat (Langleybury)I have grown up with dogs my whole life with both my Grandmother and Great Grandmother having Champion Kerry Blue and Sealyham Terriers. I have also owned Beardies, Old English Sheepdogs, Dachshunds and Basset Hounds but it is Cocker Spaniels that have grabbed my heart and I have been showing and judging for more than 10 years.

Joanne O’Neill (Lewisglen)I have owned Golden Retrievers for 30 years, starting my showing career as a young Junior Handler. Successes include Junior Warrant, Stud Book Numbers, BOBs and Group placings at Open Shows. My girl winning Mid Limit Bitch at Crufts 2016 was a very special day. My first judging appointment was January 2019.

USE OF ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT AT SHOWSThe Kennel Club is becoming increasingly concerned at the amount of electrical equipment being used by exhibitors at shows, including hair dryers and hair straighteners and other grooming devices.Electrical equipment should not be brought to shows unless absolutely necessary. In rare instances where it might be required, it should be PAT tested and permission sought from the secretary of the show before it is used. The Kennel Club has also been informed of recent instances of exhibitors commandeering certain areas of a venue in order to have access to power points so as to use electrical grooming equipment. This is totally unacceptable and particularly unfair on the breeds whose allocated areas have been cramped because of this selfish behaviour.

SECURITY AT SHOWSIn light of recent events the Kennel Club would like to issue a reminder to all Societies of the importance of security at dog shows. The Kennel Club understands that due to the nature of dog shows and the quantity of paraphernalia exhibitors bring it would be extremely difficult for show organisers to take on the issue of security alone, therefore we would reiterate the advice being given by the Police and security services, that everyone in the UK should remain vigilant and this applies to those organising and taking part in dog shows.The importance of exhibitors feeling that they and their dogs are safe when attending a show cannot be underestimated. We would therefore remind you of the importance of the need for show organisers and exhibitors to remain mindful of potential dangers and that all visitors generally need to be vigilant and alert.

• ABUSIVE BEHAVIOUR •South Western Gundog Club tries hard to be a friendly, encouraging and supportive show. The Club will not tolerate any kind of abusive behaviour to its Officers,

Committee, Officials, exhibitors or staff at its venues.Anyone found to be behaving in this manner will be asked to leave and a report will be sent to the Kennel Club, in addition the Committee may refuse to accept further

entries from perpetrators.

14. All exhibitors must be familiar with Kennel Club Regulation F (Annex B) Regulations for the Preparation of Dogs for Exhibition. 15. All dogs resident outside of the UK must be issued with a Kennel Club Authority to Compete number before entry to the show/event can be

made. All overseas entries without an Authority to Compete number will be returned to the exhibitor/competitor. 16. 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.

17. 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. The use of pinch collars, electronic shock collars, or prong collars, is not permitted at any show licensed by the Kennel Club. This shall apply at the venue or within the precincts of the show.

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. 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.

20. Should any judge be prevented from fulfilling their engagement, the Committee reserves to themselves the right of appointing other judges to fulfil their duties. Exhibitors are at liberty to withdraw from competition but no entry fees can be refunded.

21. Any owner, competitor 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 venue and within the environs of that event including car and caravan parks and approaches. Adequate receptacles for the disposal of such fouling will be provided.

22. The Committee will do its utmost to ensure the safety of the dogs brought for exhibition but it must be clearly understood by exhibitors and all other persons at the Show that the Committee will not be responsible for the loss or damage to any dogs or property, or personal injury whether arising from accident or any other cause whatsoever.

23. An announcement prior to the date of closing of entries in Our Dogs of any alteration of addition made by the Committee to the schedule or in these Regulation shall be sufficient notice thereof.

24. All children must be kept under control and parents will be held responsible for any damage caused and charges incurred. 25. Please do not obstruct gangways with cages, pens, grooming tables, trolleys and dogs. Storage space will be made available for trolleys/ cages. 26. If in the opinion of the Show Secretary, Show Manager or Judge any dog is considered not in a fit state for exhibition owing to a disease, savage

disposition, or any other cause, the dog may be excluded or removed from the show the dog must not be brought into the Show at any time under any circumstances.

27. No animal other than an exhibit duly entered at the show will be allowed within the precincts of the show during its continuance. 28. The owner, exhibitor, handler or other person in charge of a dog at a Kennel Club licensed event 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).

29. A dog may be disqualified by the Board from any award, whether an objection has been lodged or not, if proved amongst other things to have been a) registered or recorded as having been bred by the scheduled judge, this shall not apply to a judge appointed in an emergency; b) exhibited without payment of the appropriate entry fees.

30. Every exhibitor shall ensure that whilst the dog is being exhibited, its handler shall display the correct ring number.
