This annual competition began in 1998, and is specifically for Junior Warrant winners to compete against each other for the coveted title of  ‘The Kennel Gazette Junior Warrant Winner of the Year’ award, sponsored by Omega 3 Aid for Dogs.

Each year, there is a series of qualifying heats at Open Shows held by General Canine Societies around the country, during August and September.

At each heat, five dogs and a reserve are selected by the judge and 64 dogs from the heats are then invited to the Semi Finals at Discover Dogs, in November. At Discover Dogs the dogs are exhibited in the main ring in two groups simultaneously and from this, the judges select the ten finalists to go on and compete at the Grand Final which is held at Crufts, the following March.

At Crufts the overall winner is presented with an award and trophy, and their story will be featured exclusively within the Kennel Gazette's May issue.

The ten finalists that were successful at Discover Dogs 2012 are listed here, and will be exhibited at Crufts 2013.

Interested in taking part?

Eligibility to compete in the qualifying heats is for all dogs that have qualified for a Junior Warrant within a set period. The heats are advertised in the Kennel Gazette's May issue, along with information about where the heats for that year are being held.
