You're correct Megz, the title was not even available on the data base when I went to process Meazles. When D NSW phoned to say they had updated the database, they told me they had one to process as well. I hit "add title" before the phone call finished, I then processed our second the Golden Retriever. Graham

a little while back (maybe 1-2 yrs??) the neuter classes were introduced. The Neuter classes were added on 1 January 2001, The Neuter Championship title was added on 1 July 2010.

Well then your comments are very harsh. DOGS NT has nothing to do with the contracting of the Royal judge. It is not a matter of not giving a shit, but one of not being able to give you information they do not have. The DOGS NT Administrator goes above and beyond what she is required to do in trying to help people and should not to be subjected to comments such as these. Graham Doyle President DOGS NT.

The ANKC Regulations Part 6 The Register and Registration was not altered when the Allowable Colours listing was implemented, revised and repealled. Clause 6.2.4 still states - "The registration of White Boxers is NOT permitted on any register". Graham

Hi I have written a guide to the neuter classes for show committees, but due to hold up in the approval process it has not yet been presented to the ANKC Board. This will be done in the very near future. Graham

I keep seeing Best Neuter in Group/Show being mentioned, I have to point out there is NO provision within the rules for such awards. If the club is only offering class 18/18a then the only awards to be judged and awarded in Best Open Neuter in Group and Best Open Neuter in Show. If the club is offering multiple neuter classes, it is just the same individual class in group/show awards. There is no equivelent to Best in Group or Best in Show for neuters and as such, no run offs between the neuter classes for best neuter in group or show. The ribbon requirements for a would be 7 class in Group for each neuter class offered and 1 class in show for each neuter class offered. If only class 18 is offered then only 8 ribbons are needed for a show. Each state differs in what prizes have to be given, but unless every other class in group (minor,junior, open etc) receives a $10 prize none would be needed for the neuter classes. I think it is fairly standard that classes in show receive a prize, so one would be required for each neuter class offered. Graham

DOGS NT sell the 3 to a page blank forms as well as fully completed forms(all you have to do is fill in the show details and sign it). If your state doesn't offer these, email [email protected] and we would be only too happy to help. Graham I should have added that these forms are perforated so no cutting is required at all. The prices are $15.00 for 10 sheets (30 entries, 1 dog) for the personalised forms and $15.00 for 17 sheets (51 entries) of the blank forms. Graham

There is supposed to be, amendments were made to the National Uniform Conformation Entry Form at both the 2009 & 2010 ANKC Conferences. Graham

The 3 to an A4 page is the correct (official) size. However there is not an entry form available that contains the correct information as required by the ANKC Regulations Part 8 6.2. I know because I having been trying to update the current form for use by my members. If there are any geniuses in MS Word formatting out there, I could certainly use your help. Graham

YES, but in a nice way of course. Graham

Don't forget the Territory TourIt starts in Alice Springs on 6 July and concludes in Darwin on 5 August. 17 All Breeds Championship shows and a Gundog Specialty ALLoffering classes 18 & 18a. There are ads running in Dog News Australia and the state canine journals, but if you want more info keep an eye on the DOGS NT facebook page or drop me a line. I should have most of the judges from the clubs in the next week or so and will get them up as soon as possible. Graham

Dogs NSW do offer this service https://dogsecom.ausn.com.au/Login.aspx?state=NSW I believe it is also available to other states through Dogs NSW Graham
