Motivation: The organisers of the PE weekend wish to keep the weekend filled with events in order to attract out-of-town exhibitors. They feel that if they do not have a large enough cluster of shows, exhibitors will not enter, and the PE Clubs will suffer.
Approved.
5.2.2 Entry in contravention of the Regulations:
Jabbari Red Velvet (ZA009224B18) Boston Terrier
Upon receipt of the Champion application for the above-mentioned bitch, the office noted that the dog was entered in the name of the breeder instead of the registered owner.This is in contravention to Schedule 3, Regulation 7.1.1:
7.1.1 When an entry is submitted to a show holding club, a dog shall be solely and unconditionally the property of the Exhibitor and at the time of exhibition it shall be registered in the Exhibitor’s name at the Kennel Union, or at a registry formally recognised by the Kennel Union in a written agreement.
According to the owner she had posted the transfer application to the office in mid to late 2018 but this document did not reach the office and the transfer was not processed. The owner entered the shows not realising that the dog was not registered in her name and is appealing to Exco for leniency on the above regulation having only just become aware of the problem.

10. GENERAL
10.1 Online Open Show Entries
The various Dogsport entries, e.g. Agility and Dog Jumping entries are now being done online, there a few reasons for this:
- Agility and Dog Jumping are responsible for their own entries and the details
- Handlers can’t enter unless they have paid for their entry
- The payment goes into the Licence-holding Clubs’ banking account
- The draw is completed before the show on line as well saving a tremendous amount of time at the show
When you have Obedience, Carting and Rally Dog these entries are included in the Agility section of the Schedule. At a NAPC meeting, a matter was raised that the Schedules are stating ONLINE ENTRIES ONLY as per the attached, which was just an Agility Schedule, This is apparently on the Pretoria Kennel Club Schedule as well. The objection is that the Ch Show Schedule does not allow for this.
NdP is already looking into the legalities of the Ch Show online entries. The Executive Committee’s input is required on the above matter. ( TKC Open Show Schedule attached for reference)
After discussion, MA advised that the Schedule should allow for both online and manual entries and suggested the wording be changed to online entries preferred/available. NS advised that the online application is a very easy procedure and that those competing in dogsport need to be educated on the online entry procedure.
10.2 TEO Forms
MA advised that he would liaise with Mr Kevin Young who was tasked by DOGSPC to identify any potential problems with the TEO forms.
11. DATE OF NEXT MEETING
Tuesday, 22 November 2022 at 13h00.
There being no further business, the Meeting closed at 13h42 with a vote of thanks to the Chair.
Unless otherwise stated, all decisions taken at this meeting are based on consensus of the members present at this meeting of the Exco.
