The Kennel Club should face a LEGAL CHALLENGE - Page 6

Your reply only looks at point 1

Any views on points 2 and 3

Reason

Thought in a round about way my reply did cover your points 2 and 3. Howver, -;

Your Q2. I will repeat the KC standard IS based on and does not deviate from the WUSV Standard, just a Shortened version of it, all of which the WUSV, FCI and SV have previously approved. The few minor amendments in the wording does not surmount to a deviation therefore I cannot see the judge reporting back to the SV regarding not been allowed to judge to the WUSV standard , nor can I see the SV having a case to object to the KC revised Shortened version (simply because it is basically the same as what was agreed in 1982). Of course I could be wrong but thats my opinion as it stands at the moment. As said before the whole Senario you paint would have to be played out to see WHAT WOULD REALLY HAPPEN but I really do feel that we are possibly blowing this whole thing out of proportion.  

As for your question 3. It would be an excellent Idea if the two WUSV clubs met with the KC to suggest that they fully adopt the WUSV in its 'wordfull' entirety, but again this has been done before and all was in agreement that the shortened version would sufficiently describe the breed. However, now may be the best time to try to argue that in retrospect (considering what has just transpired with PDE) , the shortened version perhaps falls short of the explicit details required to judge the breed correctly. Worth a try I guess, but doubtless we all know the reply in advance.

Lets all try to stop wasting our time and energies on trivialities and senario's that will probly never happen and start to concentrate on the bigger picture of such important issues as the registration of progeny from Health screened parents.

As show secretary for my club ........ if I alter the schedule AFTER exhibitors have paid their monies, on any rule, be it large or small - it is not up to me or my club to decide if it matters to that paying exhibitor  -  it is a point of law that we would be breeching ..... if we did not offer to refund monies of any exhibitors requesting it,  How come exhibitors have not requested to the K.C - in writing - that they require a refund because the Breed Standard for their particular breed has changed since they paid their fee for Crufts - and they won their achievement now under differing breed standard.
I`m with David on the fighting fund donation... but it needs to be done quick.   John Alexander - solicitor Worcester - marvellous doggy man too - let him sort it out for us, but lets be quick.  Justice for Dogs could perhaps hold the purse strings for the fighting fund, come on, I`m waving my donation !!

Why not contact the KC directly and request a refund on the basis of changing standards after you entered. Have any of you tried?

I expect everyone that has entered Crufts would be committed to accommodation booked / going / shopping there / meeting friends / having Kudos (debatable) of being qualified etc etc  -  but I really hope that people have asked for their money back.  It would be interesting to see.   

I stated in my above post  "how come exhibitors havent" because I feel it would be a milestone if they did, and we would all have heard of it happening by now......, as the K.C. would HAVE to refund, having changed the goal-posts I am sure, no matter how small a change, without giving people prior notice before scarpering with their monies.  Its not cheap to get to Crufts, and the car park has to be paid for too - on top of fuel and accommodation etc, so there may be some out there that feel it worth a refund, but because its such an area of intrigue - in other words - none of us really know whether there will be a point made regarding the judging or not - then people dont know what to expect.  I just hope they are not disgusted having paid their money and taken their choice.    Mo
