18 DOGS IN VEHICLES ON HOT DAYS. Your dog is vulnerable and at risk during hot weather and theKennel Club offers the following guidance to help guide you through the do’s and don’ts travelling to andwhilst at Kennel Club 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 todire 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 ANYDAMAGE CAUSED. Anyone whose dog is entered at a Kennel Club licensed event should take allreasonable steps to ensure the needs of their dog(s) are met, and should not put a dog’s health andwelfare at risk by any action, default, omission or otherwise. Breach of Kennel Club Regulations in thisrespect may be referred to the General Committee for disciplinary action under Kennel Club Limited Rulesand Regulations. Exhibitors/Competitors are reminded that show societies have the right under KennelClub Regulation to refuse any entry.

19 Not For Competition entries will be accepted. Details of each dog so entered must be recorded on the entryform and must be Kennel Club registered.

Record of Dogs Entered:

SOFT CRATESThe Kennel Club has asked that we draw attention to the potential health and safety implications concerning theuse of soft crates as in its view, they do not offer sufficient protection to dogs. They have asked that we point outthat dogs should not be left unattended in soft crates. There have been instances where dogs have escapedfrom soft crates which have not been securely fastened to benches, or that have been left at ringside. Wetherefore ask that if you use soft crates, you do not leave your dogs unattended, either in the hall, or in an opencar in the car park.
