Scruffts
Is your crossbreed the next Scruffts Family Crossbreed Dog of the Year?
Scruffts is the nation’s favourite crossbreed competition and is a great way to enjoy time with your dog and family. A crossbreed is a dog of mixed blood, whose parents are of two different breeds, or a mixture of several breeds.
The Kennel Club is co-ordinating Scruffts heats throughout the UK in 2009. The winners from each heat will be invited to Discover Dogs 2009 at Earls Court 2, London in November for the Grand Final.

Scruffts supporting the Kennel Club Charitable Trust
The Kennel Club Charitable Trust co-ordinates individual charitable donations and funds to benefit the canine world. Its mission is to promote the general improvement of dogs through charitable donations and research grants.
Entry to each class is £1 with all money raised going to the Kennel Club Charitable Trust.
How to Enter:
There’s no need to register or enter in advance; just simply turn up on the day at any of the heats listed and you too could dazzle the judges. Entry to each class is just £1 and all the money raised goes to the Kennel Club Charitable Trust to help ‘make a difference for dogs’.
Eligibility for entry:
Scruffts is a competition for crossbreed dogs - pedigree dogs, therefore, are not eligible for entry. Dogs must be over six months of age to enter a Scruffts class and must not be older than 12 years.
Scruffts rosettes will be awarded to 1st, 2nd and 3rd places in each class.
It must be stressed that only 1st place winners in each class are eligible for the final in November. However, in the event of a 1st place winner not being able to attend the final then 2nd or 3rd place winners will be invited to attend in their place.
Judging Guidelines
Whilst Scruffts is a fun competition, judges will also be checking that the dogs have the following qualities:
- Good character
- Good health
- Good temperament with people and other dogs
