Saturday’s Crufts Semi Finals and Dog of the Year competition.

Below is clarification on a couple of questions from competitors and spectators that have come in over the last few days in case of interest to others.

Competitors will have access to the ring when the show opens until about ten minutes before the judging starts.

Spectators that are bringing dogs with them will NOT be able to bring them in the building. Only dogs entered in the show can go inside. If you bringing a dog as a spectator in your car, you can exercise them outside on lead but will need to register them at the booking in desk as per the schedule.

There will be food and refreshments available from the shop in the hall next to the booking in desk. We have a number of stalls attending which we hope you will support.

Please park as directed and sensibly to ensure we can fit everyone in without blocking vehicle access.

A list competitors in running order will be added to the website today for people to print out and bring to follow the proceedings if you want one. We will not have printed catalogues to buy on the day.

Although the hall will be warmed up before the show starts we will not have the overhead heating system on whilst dogs are working.

Thank you and looking forward to seeing you all!
