The dogs entitled to compete for these Championship Competitions are those who have been
awarded a Kennel Club Obedience Certificate between 24 January 2022 and 23 January 2023.
Entry Forms are sent direct to the owners of all qualifying dogs with full particulars of the
conditions of the Championships. Please note there is an entry charge of £22.00 per dog.
The First Prize winner in each Championship will be entitled to be described as Obedience
Champion. As all competing dogs must have won at least one Obedience Certificate, the
Championship will be the equivalent of two Obedience Certificates.

bitch has lost more than 15 points out of the 230 the Championship Award must be withheld.
