Schedule 03 Regulation 31 states:

Objections to Dogs & Disqualifications.

31.3 The grounds of objection made to a dog and immediate disqualification of such dog in terms of this

Regulation shall be any one or more of the following:

31.3.14 that it has been entered and/or exhibited at a Show when it is registered or recorded as owned by an officiating Judge within a period of four (4) months prior to the Show, when said officiating Judge is scheduled to judge any Class or Competition to which the dog may gain admission through its entry, except in the case of a dog owned by the officiating Judge appointed in an emergency, in which case the disqualification of the dog will be automatic without any liability incurred by the emergency appointed Judge.

Minutes of Exco 11-2023 state:

Dogs were exhibited at a Show when in the registered ownership of an officiating Judge thus as per the aforementioned Regulation, the dogs are automatically disqualified, and awards won on the day withdrawn.

The KUSA Office received a letter from the Chairman of the Club requesting that Exco review the decision taken at the Exco 11-2023 meeting.

Letter attached together with emails received from the two Judges.

Note: Regrettably, the applicable Regulations Schedule 03 Regulation 7.10.1; 7.10.2 and 7.15 were

inadvertently omitted from the previous meeting’s agenda and minute, giving the incorrect impression that the sanction applied was applied in accordance with Schedule 03 Regulations 31 instead of Schedule 03 Regulation 7. Entry for Exhibition which states:

7.10.1 A Judge may not enter a dog registered in his ownership in the same discipline on the same day at the same venue as he is officiating, save and except for Working Disciplines held under the licence of a different Club. Automatic disqualification of the dog(s) will apply and the Judge will be liable for disciplinary action under Schedule 1.

7.10.2A Judge may not handle a dog in any discipline, save and except for Working Disciplines held under the licence of a different Club on the same day at the same venue, as he/she is officiating. Automatic disqualification of the dog(s) will apply and the Judge will be liable for disciplinary action under Schedule 1

.15 Any dog which has been exhibited contrary to these Regulations shall be liable to disqualification and cancellation of any awards gained, whether or not an objection has been lodged under Regulation 31.

The matter was reviewed under the appropriate Regulations governing such incidents i.e. Schedule 03 Regulation 7.10.1, in which it is unambiguously stated and constitutionally prescribed that automatic disqualification shall apply,

Letter received from Mr Ken Hull requesting that the decision reached at Exco 12-23 for the above matter be reviewed.

After discussion it was decided that the Regulations in question be referred to Fedco for interpretation and the matter be accordingly adjudicated by Fedco.
