Rules and Regulations of dog showing
Very often you will see people refer to the “Red Book” which is the bible of rules for all activities run by the Kennel Club in the UK. All shows must have the Red Book at the secretaries table, should you want to look up any rule at any point during a show. Good secretaries will often be familiar with the rules and when the rules are updated
The sections are split alphabetically and the “f” regs are the show regulations. These can also be found online on the KC Website and the PDF link is here:https://www.thekennelclub.org.uk/media/49543/showregs.pdf
Many exhibitors keep a copy of the rules on them while showing, either electronically or a printed copy. They can often be useful when discussing rules with other exhibitors. I have seen and heard so many times where people are given incorrect information on the rules and regulations. The only correct answer is written in black and white, although some of the rules can be very grey and difficult to read and understand.
No-one can know all the rules – but it’s easy to look them up!
