SHOWING AND HANDLING DOGS IN THE UK
Those taking part in dog shows in the UK are expected to maintain and abide by the highest standards in accordance with Kennel Club Rules and Regulations (KC Show Regulation F3 refers).
HANDLING
Exhibitors are reminded that it is not acceptable to handle a dog in a manner which causes its feet not to touch the ground when on the move. The same applies to the practice of picking up dogs, often terriers, by their necks and/or tails when lifting them. If a dog winning Best of Breed has been handled as per the foregoing, the handler will not be permitted to handle the dog in the group and a replacement handler will be required for the dog to compete further. Similarly, if a dog is handled in this manner in the Group an alternative handler will need to be appointed for Best in Show. Exhibitors should note that such practices could constitute harsh handling and reports will be referred to the Committee under Kennel Club Show Regulations F11.
CAGES/CRATES
The use of cages/crates with wire false floors where the dog is not sitting on the base of the cage is not permitted at Crufts. In addition, each exhibitor is responsible for providing their own cage/crate identification.
UNATTENDED DOGS
Crufts is a public show and for the safety of all concerned, dogs should be supervised at all times. It is the exhibitors responsibility to ensure their dogs are not left unattended.
ALL BEST OF BREED PRE-GROUP CHECK
A basic final check of each Best of Breed will be undertaken in the collecting ring by an Official from the show management and vet teams.
The Crufts Committee is mindful that is has a duty of care towards all dogs entered at the show. The observation will focus on the obvious visible conditions which could compromise the dogs performance in the Group Competition (KC Regulation F(1)15b refers)
PREPARATION OF DOGS
No substance which alters the natural colour, texture or body of the coat may be present in the dog’s coat for any purpose at any time during the show. No substance which alters the natural colour of any external part of the dog may be present on the dog for any purpose at any time during the show.
Any other substance (other than water) which may be used in the preparation of a dog for exhibition must not be allowed to remain in the coat or on any other part of the dog at the time of exhibition. (Kennel Club Show Regulation F(B) refers).
IMPORTANT: TRAVELLING WITH YOUR DOG
Crufts exhibitors must ensure that their dogs fully comply with the entry rules for bringing dogs into the UK. In the case of dogs being brought from some countries, this will involve a process which can take a number of months to complete prior to travel to the UK and Crufts. For further details please see www.gov.uk/take-pet-abroad.
If you require a health certificate for your dog to travel back home from Crufts, this cannot be supplied by the volunteer veterinary staff in the Veterinary Centre. However, as a service to exhibitors, Crufts has arranged for a veterinary surgeon from the 608 Veterinary Group to visit Crufts each day to arrange certification for you. This service will be available between 4pm and 5.30pm each day in the Veterinary Centre and exhibitors will be required to pay veterinary staff at the time of examination - the cost being £45 per certificate. Payment must be in cash as cheques and credit/debit cards cannot be accepted. Appointments can be made at the Veterinary Centre throughout the day.
DOCKED TAILS
Dogs which were docked before 6th April 2007 - If your dog was docked either in the UK or in a foreign country before 6th April 2007 then it may compete at Crufts.
For dogs which were docked on or after 6th April 2007 - If your dog was docked on or after 6th April 2007 it is not, under the law, permitted to be shown at Crufts.
CROPPED EARS
No dog with cropped ears is eligible to compete at any Kennel Club licensed event. (Kennel Club Show Regulation B19 refers).
SHOW STACKERS
The use of show stackers is prohibited at Crufts.
DOGS IN VEHICLES
Appropriate action will be taken immediately in the event of dogs being unattended in vehicles and found to be in a distressed condition.

CRUFTS 2020
KENNEL CLUB REGISTRATION - AUTHORITY TO COMPETE
In order to show your dog at Crufts your dog must have a Kennel Club Registration Number or an Authority To Compete Number (ATC).
If your dog does not have an ATC number it cannot be entered for Crufts.
ATC applications for Crufts entries must be received at the Kennel Club by 20th December 2019. We are unable to guarantee issuing an ATC number for any application received after this date.
Please be advised if you wish to apply for an Authority to Compete number for your dog you can now apply online as we no longer can accept Authority to Compete entries via email.
If you wish to apply online please visit http://www.crufts.org.uk/content/dog-exhibitors/authority-to-compete-atc/
Online entry is both secure and simple and allows complete review of the entry information submitted.
If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact our Registration Team on 01296 318540.
THE KENNEL CLUB CODE OF CONDUCT
The Kennel Club has developed a Code of Conduct to help advise exhibitors of what it and your fellow exhibitors expect of you. (Kennel Show Club Regulation F3 refers).
The Kennel Club Code of Conduct has been developed to set out the Kennel Club’s expectation for all those taking part in or attending events under its jurisdiction.
These are not exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with relevant regulations as listed in the Kennel Club Year Book. A breach of these provisions may be referred to the General Committee for disciplinary action under Kennel Club Rules and Regulations.
• All dogs must be of the correct temperament to enable the judge to examine it, independently of the exhibitor’s assistance.
• Dogs with aggressive tendencies must not be exhibited.
• Sparring between dogs in the ring is not allowed.
• Conduct - participants have a duty both to their dogs and to others to make licensed events friendly and welcoming, and are expected to be co-operative and above all create a safe environment for all to enjoy their time at licensed events.
• Sportsmanship - participants should conduct themselves at all times in an appropriate fashion and should display good manners and respect towards other participants, show officials and to the judges.
• Any verbal communication with a judge should take place after judging has taken place and must be conducted in a polite and professional manner.
• Abusive or aggressive behaviour towards anyone at the show - including the judge, other participants, show management or other officials - will not be tolerated under any circumstances (further information appears later in this publication regarding harassment).
• Do not interfere with any dog whilst it is being judged.
