Benching?

What does it mean by
Quote:
26 All dogs, except Toydogs, must have a benching chain and collar.

27 No dog may be removed from its bench, except for the purpose of being prepared for exhibition, judged, excercised
or by order of the Veterinary Surgeon or Show Committee. After being prepared, the dog must be replaced on its
bench. No dog shall be absent from its bench for the purpose of being exercised at any time for longer than 30
minutes. Dogs may not be present at the ringside, except when their breed is being judged at the same time.
Gangways must be kept clear at all times
Does this mean I cant walk around with my dog? Also whats a bench chain and collar?

Re: Benching?

In theory you shouldn't walk around with him, he should be on his bench
A benching chain

Re: Benching?

Means exactly what it says, no you shouldnt walk your dog around unless for what it states, and toy breeds dont have to be benched by chain, most use cages on the benches. me well I cheat and dont abide by this rule.

That is what the rules say
I can't speak for other breeds but in my breed, many (maybe most) dogs spend their day walking round with their owners, relaxing in their crate or on their table with their owner sitting next to them.
They do enforce the benching rule at Crufts but that's another story
A benching chain is a short, double ended chain lead. One end clips to your dogs collar and the other end to the loop on the bench.

Most people use a crate or you can get a wire front that fastens to the bench to form a crate

So if everyone else in my breeds doing it, then I can too
What you're describing sounds like what I saw at blackpool, people relaxing with their dogs.

Somewhere on the forum I put bench dimentions although I think they might vary by a couple of inches. I will have a look and see if I can find them

Re: Benching?

just to let you know............i bought a benching rope recently , much better than the chain.

Probably 10% of my breed are benched at shows the rest go walkabouts with their owners for most of the day
