Stall Space
There will be two stalls at this show
EMSBTC Club Stall
SBT Rescue Stall
SBT Rescue
The EMSBTC Committee would ask for your continued support for a cause
so close to all our hearts. If every exhibitor contributed just £1 with their entry
we could possibly raise another useful amount to help the steady stream of
Staffords ending up with Rescue – some are in a very poor way and require
expensive medical treatment before rehoming can be considered.
Once again, we ask you to be generous and thank you for your kindness

CLASSIFICATION
JUDGE:
Mr Gary Wheeler
BEST IN SHOW followed by BEST PUPPY IN SHOW
will be judged after Class 20
Your Judge
My wife, Denise, and I have had Staffords for over 20
years – although we only started showing about 10
years ago. Our show career started when we took
Ouzo (CH Lord Fagin at Denagar) into the ring and
he was awarded three CC’s and one RCC. We were
also showing Velvet (Denagar Boo’s Pride) and Shell
(Denegar Your One in a Million) – both achieving their
Stud Book Number. We thought “this will be easy
– this showing dogs thing!” ….. but how wrong can
you be??!! Well, it may not be easy but we have
thoroughly enjoyed showing our dogs and we think we have been very lucky with
them.
I am honoured to be asked to judge the EMSBC Members’ Limited Show, my first
breed club appointment, and look forward to giving an honest opinion on the day.
I hope you thoroughly enjoy exhibiting your dogs and that you, too, are lucky with
them!!
I know I will have a great day with the East Midlands SBT Club, and I sincerely
hope you do too.
Gary Wheeler

17 Your dog is vulnerable and at risk during hot weather and the Kennel Club offers the following guidance
to help guide you through the do’s and don’ts travelling to and whilst at KC licensed events.
• When travelling to a show please take a moment to consider whether the route to the show is on a busy
holiday route, and leave earlier to avoid increased time in traffic jams.
• If your vehicle is not air-conditioned seriously consider whether travelling to the show is a good idea at
all.
• The vehicle should be as fully ventilated as possible, and plenty of stops should be taken, with lots of
water available to drink.
• Ensure your dog is not sitting in full sunlight. There should be plenty of free flowing air around
the dog.
• When at the show, never leave your dog in the vehicle.
• Keep the dog in the shade – take your own shade for example a large umbrella and always have
plenty of water available to drink so your dog stays well hydrated.
• Avoid your dog taking part in unnecessary exertion, or from standing in exposed sunlight for
extended lengths of time.
Remember, if you feel hot your dog is very likely to feel much hotter and dehydrated, and this
could lead to dire results. Please look after your dog’s welfare.
