3.1 Entry in contravention of the Regulations:
Jabbari Red Velvet (ZA009224B18) Boston Terrier (Exco 10-22 Item 5.2.2)
Upon receipt of the Champion application for the abovementioned bitch, the office noted that the dog was entered in another person’s name instead of that 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 registered owner they 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 new owner of the dog 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.
The previous registered owner confirmed that they had signed the transfer document and was also under the impression that the dog was registered in the new owner’s name.
Explanation accepted - Awards not to be withdrawn.
