All Pedigree events must be judged under the appropriate Kennel Club rules in force at the time of the event. Competitors entering any
competition will be deemed to have agreed to abide by these rules and regulations.
All Pedigree sponsored competitions should be judged using standard marking.
If the entry for the heat exceeds the Kennel Club limit for a Judge in a day, then the class will be equally split and another Judge appointed for
the second part. Qualifiers and reserves from that heat will be taken in equal proportion from each part, giving the total number originally
required from that heat. Rosettes and awards remain unchanged if the heat is split.
PEDIGREE MARKIES NOVICE GRAND NATIONAL JUMPING
This class will be classified as Novice and judged under the Kennal Club rules for standard classes. Handlers may enter more than one dog in
a heat and may qualify more than one dog for the final. Once a dog has qualified for the final, further heats may be entered for competition.
The first four places from each heat will be invited to compete in the finals. It is important that handlers who gain a place in a heat with a
previously qualified dog should inform the Show Secretary on the day of the Show of this fact.
PEDIGREE ADVANCED POWER AND SPEED GRAND PRIX
This class is only open for dogs eligible for advanced competition. Handlers may enter more than one dog in a heat and may qualify more
than one dog for the final. Once a dog has qualified for the final, further heats may be entered for competition. The first four places from each

clock. Only dogs that are clear on the first section can attempt the second section of the course.
