How do I apply for Crufts 2020?
In order to apply for Crufts 2020, you can simply take your four-legged friend to a show day of your choice.
However, you need to first make sure that your dog fits the set of requirements.
To show your dog at Crufts, your dog must either be registered with the Kennel Club or you must obtain an Authority to Compete (ATC) number from the Kennel Club.
- Your dog must have a veterinary health check to make sure they are healthy to compete.
- Your dog must also be able to show in the ring, so it’s advised to take ‘ringcraft’ classes to help your dog develop the basic skills expected by the judges.
- Dogs also have to be able to stand still during the judging process and this also requires specific training from classes that are provided countrywide.
