I have just found out that on the 30th sep my springer qualified for crufts

On the kc site it says only yearling bitches in band E qualify so i was just pleased with my 2nd place but after checking the 2012 qualifications and a call to the kennel club it has been confirmed..We are off to crufts

I have never been to crufts with or without a dog.. I am soooooo excited and sooooo proud of my little girl

Congratulations, the first time on the green carpet is always exciting.

congratulations as i was once told go enjoy ur self u have earned your right to be there on the green carpet and win or lose u bring the best dog home

Congratulations on qualifying her - it's surprising how many people don't actually realise they have qualified their dog for Crufts - I can still remember the first time I qualified one of mine, the whole drive was spent querying if we had got the result right until I got home and checked it for myself

======================

As I understand it - yearling often used to be "Special Yearling" and no class with "Special" in front of it is a qualifier (Crufts being the exception to the rule for 1st place dogs).

Qualifying classes / placings for stud band E dogs are 1st to 3rd in

• Minor puppy
• Puppy
• Junior
• Yearling
• Post Graduate
• Limit (1st to third gets their stud book number)
• Open (1st to third gets their stud book number)
• Veteran

You can also qualifiy if entering a Premier Open Show if your BOB is a Crufts qualifier (for Band E there must be 5 classes).

And you qualify for BIS and BPIS at Open shows (and Premier Opens) - I 'think' this includes RBIS and RBPIS as well - hopefully someone can clarify this.

smokeybear leoti and ceearott Thanks


Swarthy Thanks..I was under the impression that Yearling was not a qualifier but yesterday i was looking at the crufts results for last year and they had a yearling class in my breed.so i done a search for qualifications for crufts 2012 and there it was in black and white..I was excited and in disbelieve so i phoned the kennel club and explained.. They told me to take no notice of the band E and that yearling springer is a qualifier I was thrilled as i have only done 3 champ shows....I have gone nearly a month not knowing i had qualified...I wonder how many more newbies and others have missed stepping on the green carpet.

Chloef and Dexter..Thanks

Congratulations! Have a great time - and as Leoti said, whatever happens you know you'll be taking the best dog in the show home!

A word to the wise - they're not sending out schedules this year (for the first time ever ). You either have to write to them enclosing an A5 SAE or look at the schedule online and enter online.
