I know this is off Topic,but I thought I'd post it for Janice because she doesn't believe the KC take action against individuals as you can clearly see they do.

Kennel Club Fact File
Rule A42 Disciplinary Case
Disciplinary Sub Committee Hearing
30 October 2008
The Kennel Club -v- Mr G A Gordon
Kennel Club Rule A 42
The Committee, having carefully considered the evidence, find that the complaint brought by the Kennel Club under Kennel Club Rule A42 a (1) (b) against Mr G A Gordon, in that he repeatedly engaged in threatening and abusive behaviour at the Northumberland and Durham Labrador Retriever Club Working Test at Hope Farm held on 20 April 2008, resulting in the issue of a police caution by Northumbria Police, is upheld.
The Committee noted that Mr Gordon admitted and apologised for the incident and recognised it as being inappropriate. The behaviour complained of, namely threatening, abusive conduct and putting people in fear is totally unacceptable and cannot be tolerated at Kennel Club licensed events. Everyone should behave in an appropriate manner so that all may feel secure. This incident is not commonplace and the Committee felt there were mitigating circumstances. The Committee therefore wished to issue a reminder to participants that private issues have no place in the context of licensed events.
The Committee impose the following penalties:
1
To warn him to his future conduct
[A42 j(1)]
2
To censure him
[A42 j(2)]
3
To disqualify him from exhibiting at, taking part in, attending
and/or having any connection with any event licensed by the Club. If any person disqualified under this sub-paragraph shall attend any canine event whilst disqualified the General
Committee shall have the power to increase the period of disqualification
[A42 j(4)]
The suspensions and disqualifications are to be for a period of eighteen months (18 months) from 30 October 2008.
The Committee, following the impositions of these penalties, would draw the attention of the Respondent/s to the effect of Rule A42 sub-sections n.
Dundee I haven't found any proposed legislation but it's on the KC site that they have asked for it,it's probably a long way off.
According to DLRC an early day motion has been passed.
