17. Dogs in Cars on Hot Days Your dog is vulnerable and at risk during hot weather and the Kennel Cluboffers the following guidance to help guide you through the do’s and don’ts travelling to and whilstat KC licensed events.• When travelling to a show please take a moment to consider whether the route to the show is ona 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 goodidea at all. • The vehicle should be as fully ventilated as possible, and plenty of stops should be taken, withlots 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 haveplenty 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 forextended lengths of time. Remember, if you feel hot your dog is very likely to feel much hotter and dehydrated, and thiscould lead to dire results. Please look after your dog’s welfare. WARNING: IF YOUR DOG IS FOUNDTO 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 all reasonable steps toensure the needs of their dog(s) are met, and should not put a dog’s health and welfare at risk byany action, default, omission or otherwise. Breach of Kennel Club Regulations in this respect maybe referred to the General Committee for disciplinary action under Kennel Club Rules andRegulations.Right to Refuse Entries.

20. The Committee of this show cannot be held responsible for products advertised or sold bystandholders at the show, and remind exhibitors that such products may not meet therequirements of the Regulations for the Preparation of Dogs for Exhibition.

21. Exhibitors/handlers are responsible for clearing up and removing any loose hair or fouling fromdogs in their charge, or any other litter, whether from the car park, the exercise area or from anyother part of the venue.

22. Parents/Guardians please note, well behaved children are welcome but those in charge of childrenwill be held fully responsible for their actions and any damage caused within the environs of theshow.

23. Owners, handlers, exhibitors or any other person in charge of a dog at a Kennel Club licensed event must ensure at all times that the dog is kept under proper control whilst at the licensed venue including its environs, car parks and approaches.

25. The attention of exhibitors is drawn to the fact that any coat preparation or shampoo or similar in either schedule or catalogue does not imply that the use of such preparation may not contravene Kennel Club Regulations for the Preparation of Dogs for Exhibition F.

concerning the use of soft crates at shows as in its view, they do not offer sufficient protection todogs. Soft crates left unattended at the ringside are a potential hazard particularly when occupiedby large breeds, and it has been known for dogs to become distressed and move soft crates alongthe floor and also escape. Soft crates should only be used when there is sufficient room availableand when they can be safely secured.

28. In accordance with Kennel Club guidelines exhibitors must display their exhibit number or owneridentification on their crates/cages at all times.

IMPORTANT NOTICEDog fouling, grooming and waste (animal)

Any owner, exhibitor, handler or other person in charge of a dog is required to remove immediately anyfouling caused by their dog(s) and/or any grooming waste at any Kennel Club licensed show, within the 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.
