NOT FOR COMPETITION RULE EXPLAINED
Some
societies accept dogs “Not For Competition” which means
the dog can be present on the showground even if it is
not shown.
For
the Curly Coated Retriever Club Championship Show in
conjunction with the World Congress for 2010 it has been
agreed that any dog attending the Congress with its
owner can be present on the showground as long as the
following ruling is followed.
If
you want your dog to sit with you by the ringside, to
comply with rules which are laid down by the Kennel
Club, the dog’s details MUST be entered on the Show
entry form and submitted to the Show Secretary.
If
your dog’s details are not submitted on the entry form
then the dog will not be allowed within the inner show
area.
Please
also note that puppies under the age of 6 months are not
allowed within the show area.
