Conformation Show Rules

Conformation Show Rules

• Please make sure your dog is up to the standard once you enter it. 

• Docked/cropped dogs are allowed to take part in the show if the breed standard accepts this option. E.g. cropped Doberman - is okay, but cropped Spaniel - is not allowed.

•  Your dog can take part in a few different classes, for example, the "Open" and "Brace" classes. But you must have separate entries for each of the classes as well as register them separately. Also, you can't do this if your dog is, for example, a pup, entering the "Puppy" class and you want to grow it up, so it enters and "Open" as well.

• Dogs with standard faults can still participate, but their chances of winning are very slim. Dogs such as Albino, Double Merle, and Double Harlequin are not allowed and will be DQ'd, as will dogs with disabilities.

•  Real breeds that are not recognised by the Kennel Clubs due to their rarity or newness will be placed in the closest group to their breed (Gullterrier  3 group, Terrier). They will receive CACIB.

Attire/Dog wear

• Absence/abundance of the wear will result in deducting points from the dog entry. 

• You can't have the dog wearing some type of clothes/attire for the confirmation/performance part unless you provide another picture without them. For conformation - it simply covers the dog, not allowing it to trace its anatomy. For performance - won't allow the dog to move freely.

• The conformation leash must be visibly dawn. The leash must be thin, with no collar, harness, or any other correction collar.
