following guidance to help guide you through the do’s and don’ts travelling to and whilst at KC
licensed events.
• When travelling to a show please take a moment to consider whether the route to the show is on a
busy holiday route, and leave earlier to avoid increased tme in trafc jams.
• If your vehicle is not air-conditoned seriously consider whether travelling to the show is a good
idea at all.
• The vehicle should be as fully ventlated as possible, and plenty of stops should be taken, with lots
of water available to drink.
• Ensure your dog is not sitng in full sunlight. There should be plenty of free fowing 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 have
plenty of water available to drink so your dog stays well hydrated.
• Avoid your dog taking part in unnecessary exerton, or from standing in exposed sunlight for
extended lengths of tme. Remember, if you feel hot your dog is very likely to feel much hoter and
dehydrated, and this could lead to dire results. Please look afer your dog’s welfare. WARNING: IF
YOUR DOG IS FOUND TO BE AT RISK FORCIBLE ENTRY TO YOUR VEHICLE MAY BE NECESSARY
WITHOUT LIABILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE CAUSED.
Anyone whose dog is entered at a Kennel Club licensed event should take all reasonable steps to

purpose.
30. PHOTOGRAPHY & VIDEO RIGHTS The Organisers would like to bring the regulaton on photography
and flming to the atenton of exhibitors, trade stands, press and visitors. It is a conditon of all
those atending the event that no flming or other form of recording may be taken or made at the
venue without the express writen permission of the organisers. The taking of photographs in the
venue for sale or reward is strictly prohibited except with the writen permission of the Organisers.
Press accredited photographers are provided with permission to take photographs ONLY for use in
newspapers, magazines and internet sites – this is for news purposes only. There is no objecton to
the general public taking photographs or video flm of general views of the show, provided that these
are for private use only. Specifc dogs may be photographed only with the approval of the exhibitor.
No photography or flming is permited in breed judging rings whilst judging is actually taking place.
However, judges may allow it to happen at the end of classes. Filming and fash photography is
allowed from outside the rings at all tmes unless the operaton of the camera is actually afectng
exhibits. However, if a powerful fash unit is used or it is clear that exhibits are being afected, a ring
steward or the judge is empowered to stop the person concerned. Cinematograph or television
equipment may only be used at the show if a permit has been issued by the Organisers.
Use of Electrical Equipment at Shows
The Kennel Club is becoming increasingly concerned at the amount of electrical equipment being
used by exhibitors at shows, including hair dryers and hair straighteners and other grooming devices.
Electrical equipment should not be brought to shows unless absolutely necessary. In rare instances
where it might be required, it should be PAT tested and permission sought from the secretary of the
show before it is used.
The Kennel Club has also been informed of recent instances of exhibitors commandeering certain
areas of a venue in order to have access to power points so as to use electrical grooming equipment.
This is totally unacceptable and partcularly unfair on the breeds whose allocated areas have been
cramped because of this selfsh behaviour.
Security at shows
In light of recent events the Kennel Club would like to issue a reminder to all Societes of the
importance of security at dog shows.
The Kennel Club understands that due to the nature of dog shows and the quantty of paraphernalia
exhibitors bring it would be extremely difcult for show organisers to take on the issue of security
alone, therefore we would reiterate the advice being given by the Police and security services, that
everyone in the UK should remain vigilant and this applies to those organising and taking part in dog
shows.
The importance of exhibitors feeling that they and their dogs are safe when atending a show cannot
be underestmated. We would therefore remind you of the importance of the need for show
organisers and exhibitors to remain mindful of potental dangers and that all visitors generally need
to be vigilant and alert.
Furthermore the society should provide robust notfcaton informing exhibitors of where to report
to should they see anything suspicious or of concern, and of the evacuaton procedures in place.
