At the risk of being informed that this class, like the GC class is viewed as a “Mickey Mouse” class gundog owners may be interested to know the following:
ENTRY IN SPECIAL WORKING GUNDOG CLASSES AT DFS CRUFTS 2010.
A dog is eligible for entry in Special Working Gundog classes for its breed if it has at any
time been awarded a Working Gundog Certificate, a Kennel Club Show Gundog Working Certificate or won an award, Diploma of Merit or Certificate of Merit in competition at a Field Trial held under the rules of any governing body recognised by the Kennel Club. N.B. Dogs entered into this class no longer have to qualify for entry in a breed class first
Therefore if you have a KC registered (breed register) gundog and it has a WGC, SGWC, CoM or DOM in FT then you can enter this class without having to have qualified for entry in the breed classes first.
(For the GC class dogs must have qualified for entry in the breed class first, you cannot enter the classe JUST because your dog has a Bronze, Silver or Gold)
My bitch may be coming out of retirement!
