5.1.1 Case 2024-01 – KUSA (Van Vliet) vs Brunner – Appeal
Carried forward from Exco 09.2024
“General Observations and Supplementary Commentary
The Members of the FAC would fail in their responsibilities towards the Kennel Union should they not bring to the attention of the Executive Committee their concerns relating to events which took place at the Baakens Valley Working and Herding & All Breeds Training School’s Non-championship Show held on 22 March 2024. These include:
-
The Judge on the day failing to adhere to Schedule 05B(02) App B Special Requirements in the FCI-IBGH 3 test with regard to the order in which exercises were to be carried out;
-
The Club failing to adhere to the Schedule 03 Regulation 37.1 which states (underline and bolding added for clarity): “The Show Committee shall report, in writing, to the Secretary any case of alleged fraudulent or discreditable conduct, and any default or omission at or in connection with a Show which is brought to its notice. Every such report shall be submitted to the Secretary within seven (7) days of the show and shall be accompanied by all documents and information in connection therewith which is in its possession of power.”;
-
The Trial not meeting the requirements under Schedule 05B(02) App B which state, under Trial Participants, that: “The examination (trial) must have a minimum of 4 participants per trial day. The minimum number of participants per day may only be less if for FCI-BH/VT or BH/VT (NPO) examinations these dogs pass and try for a further examination (FCI-IGP-1, FCI-IFH 1) at the same event.”;
-
The Non-championship Show held on 22 March 2024 not being compliant with the stipulation for trial days as provided for in Schedule 05B(02) App B under Trial Days; and
-
The validity of qualifications awarded on the day.
The intention is to enable the Executive Committee to consider taking appropriate pre-emptive steps, either by way of regulation, or training, to hopefully avoid the recurrence of such disruptive events in future.
At the request of the Fedco Appeals Committee, the KUSA Secretary appeals to the Executive Committee to decide on the actions to be taken so that these may be recorded in the Minutes for noting by the FAC and Fedco.
After discussion it was decided that CPA send a letter to the National IGP Sub-Committee (NIGPSC) bringing the concerns expressed by the FAC to their attention and urging them to take the necessary steps to improve IGP Judges’ knowledge of the FCI Regulations pertaining to the judging of Trials to avoid future incidents such as those which occurred at the Non-championship Show in question. Furthermore, Exco required input from the NIGPSC regarding the validity of the awards made on the day given that several Regulations were contravened by the Judge and Club.
The NIGPSC should also be urged to alert Clubs hosting Trials to the Regulations Schedule 03 Regulation 37.1, which requires any default or omission at or in connection with a Show to be reported to the KUSA Secretary within seven (7) days of the Show.
Letter sent to National IGP Sub-Committee asking for input.
Carried forward from the previous meeting pending a response from the NIGPSC on the validity of the awards made on the day.
No further updates received. A reminder was sent to the NIGPSC on 15.01.2025.
CPA reported that a response had been received from Mr JQ Swartz that the relevant training is being provided. The validity of the awards was, however, still in question. After discussion, it was decided that the awards were to remain in place.

5.2.2 OTHER CLUB / SHOW MATTERS
5.2.2.1 Objection to shared show date – 10-11.04.2025
Baakens Valley Working & Herding Club have made an application to hold a second Dog Jumping & Agility Show on an existing Cluster weekend. One of the Clubs on those days, Madiba Bay Agility Club, has objected to sharing the date with 4 Clubs. Exhibitors have expressed concern about overworking their dogs and the strain on finances. Adding this show to the weekend is likely to result in exhibitors choosing which rounds to enter, thereby taking entries away from the Clubs with their traditional show dates over the weekend
Emails of objection attached.
GBR to refer matter to Eastern Cape & Border Provincial Council and provide feedback at the next Exco meeting.
Carried forward from the previous meeting.
On 13.01.2025, the Chairman of EC&BPC advised the KUSA Secretary as follows:
“After some thought and a discussion with the Exco Chairman, it has been decided that Exco will deal with this complaint.”
GBR reported that after liaising with Baakens Valley Working and Herding Club, they are willing to withdraw their application for the 2025 Cluster weekend.
Noted.

5.2.2.4 Dog Jumping Inter-provincial Order of Judging – 11-12.04.2025
The National Dog Jumping Sub-Committee has approved a change to the order of judging for the PE Inter-provincial.
Schedule 05E(31) (Regulations for DJ Inter-provincials):
8. FORMAT
8.1 The event will consist of two (2) rounds for each dog and points will be awarded as laid down in Regulation 9. 8.2 The first round must be run under Table “A” and the second round must be run under Table “B”.
8.3 Dogs will be awarded points for their performance in each round as per the scoring system set out in Regulation 9.
8.4 The scores of the best three (3) dogs in each team will be calculated for each round.
8.5 The points gained for each round will then be added together to determine the overall winning team.
8.6 In the event that two (2) or more teams tie for any of the final placings, each team will nominate one Handler and dog to participate in a run-off. The run-off course will be at the discretion of the Judge. Should both these dogs be eliminated, each team will nominate a different dog for the run-off. This process will be repeated until a winner can be declared.
Due to time constraints on the days required, the Eastern Cape Sub-Committee is running Round 2 followed by Round 1 as per the attached Show Schedule and letter of explanation.
The National Dog Jumping Sub-Committee requests that this be sanctioned and approved by Exco.
Noted and approved.
5.2.2.5 Late Submission of Show Documents – Western Cape Staffordshire Bull Terrier Club – 01.03.2025
The Above Club is requesting that they be allowed to go ahead with their Show on 01 March 2025. Their documents were due on 01 September 2024, but were received on 16 January 2025.
Schedule 03:
2. Every application for a licence to hold a Championship Show shall be made not less than six (6) calendar months for Shows held from 1 January 2003 before the proposed date, on an official Kennel Union form, signed on behalf of the applicant Club by the Chairman, Treasurer and Secretary, who shall ,give their full addresses, setting out the information required therein, and such application shall be accompanied by the draft schedule of the Show, a letter of acceptance from each prospective Judge and the fee prescribed in terms of Schedule 07.
5.17 Where a Club, for any reason whatsoever, has been unable to finalise its Draft Schedule twelve (12) weeks before the first day of the Show, no licence shall be issued for that event. If a licence has already been paid for, Licence Fees will be refunded to the Club, subject to the deduction of Penalty Fees incurred up to twelve (12) weeks and, should the Penalty Fees be in excess of the Licence Fees, the Club shall be responsible for payment of the shortfall.
The 12-week cut-off for their Show to be cancelled was 07 December 2024.
They were also required to submit AGM documentation as well as Financials, and this has subsequently been received.
After discussion, there was doubt whether Exco had the authority to grant the request. BJ proposed that he should contact the Chairman of the Federal Council to request her to obtain permission from Fedco to grant the dispensation requested via a round robin resolution.

It was reported that the abovementioned dog had acted and behaved aggressively by attacking another Exhibit at the TKC Kennel Club Championship Show held on 13.10.2024. Both the Club and the Registered Owner have submitted documents relating to this incident. A preliminary TEO was issued on 18.10.2024.
The dog is to complete a socialisation course (TEO Manual 12.2.1.3), provide KUSA with a letter of proof from the Training Club (TEO Manual 12.2.1.3.2 and 12.2.1.3.3) and then complete a CGC Silver (TEO Manual 12.2.1.4).
The Owner has submitted the following documents in support of the TEO being lifted:
-
Unsigned letter from Club saying the dog had attended a training day and not shown any aggression
-
Unsigned letter from an observer at the training day and on the day the dog completed its CGC
-
Proof of CGC Silver
After discussion it was decided that the dog must complete a 3-month dog training course and it was noted that the dog has been enrolled with the Dog Training Club of Bredell. Once a suitable socialisation course has been completed, a letter of clearance needed to be obtained from the relevant Club before the lifting of the TEO would be considered by Exco.
The owner of the dog has provided evidence of the dog having been enrolled in two training Clubs. Signed copies of the two letters provided had since been provided to the KUSA Office
