How to enter the Breeders' Competition
All you need to take part is a Breeders' Competition Record Book. These are available either from the Kennel Club’s Online Shop or by contacting the Publications Department at the Kennel Club 0844 463 3980 ext. 278, or by obtaining one from the Kennel Club Roadshow stand which attends many shows throughout the year. Full instructions on how to enter the competition, and what information needs to be completed, are detailed in the Record Book. It is the breeder’s responsibility to keep up the Record Book up to date and accurate.
Breeder
All dogs to be bred by the same breeder, or breeder partnership. No combination of different breeders is permitted. Please use a separate Record Book for each breeder or partnership, and for each breed of dog.

Team
Each team consists of three or four dogs. New combinations of dogs are allowed from show to show, at the discretion of the breeder. A breeder or his/her delegated representative may enter more than one team at each show.
Group Competitions
A dog beaten in competition for Best Breeder in Breed Award or Best Breeder in AVNSC classes is not considered to be a beaten dog for further competition at the show. If one of the dogs in the team has been awarded Best of Breed, and there is a time constraint at the show, the exhibitor can choose whether or not to wait for the Best Breeder in Group competition, or to go in the “main” Group competition.
