Entries may be
submitted, but will be held by the show secretary pending UKC registration. The
owner of the dog should supply the show secretary with a copy of the
registration. If the registration number is not supplied by the closing date,
the entry and fee will be returned.
Dogs who do not have primary registration (such as imports whose owners
are awaiting foreign papers) may ask the UKC to grant them Temporary Listing
privilege which grants a dog a temporary number for 60 days. Any points won will be held for that time,
but will be lost if permanent registration is not completed by the end of the
60 days.

In order to
maintain good relations with the host hotel and to ensure the availability of
similar show sites in the future, we’re requesting that hotel rooms and show
grounds be kept in good condition. Show grounds, rings, grooming areas, hotel
rooms and grounds are expected to be left with no appreciable damage and as clean as possible. To ensure that this
standard is met, the Club, as a matter of policy, sets forth the following standards
of behavior:
1. All dogs must be on leash at all times.
2. Dogs must be exercised in designated areas only.
3. No dog should be left uncrated in a hotel room in
the absence of the room occupants at any time. Plastic will be provided to
place under crates.
4. Dogs that constitute a nuisance to other occupants
of the hotel by continual barking or howling may subject their owners to being
removed by the hotel.
5. There will be no extensive grooming of dogs in the
hotel rooms. Grooming will be permitted only in the areas set aside for that
purpose on the show grounds.
6. No dogs should be washed in hotel bathtubs, and
hotel towels should not be used on dogs for drying them or for any other
purpose.
7. The external and internal premises of the hotel and
show site shall be kept free of debris and feces caused by the presence of dogs
attending this Specialty.
8. The Club will provide a committee to inspect rooms
upon member checkout, either separately from, or in concert with, designated
members of the hotel staff. Should any room or its contents exhibit signs of
unusual wear or damage because of the presence of a dog or dogs, the occupant
of that room may be held up to censure by the Club and shall recompense the
hotel for all damages.
9. While UBSDA cannot assume legal responsibility for
the actions of individual persons attending one of its National Specialty
shows, it does assume ethical responsibility for their actions. It will make
every effort to assure that an offending person makes redress to the hotel or
show site in the event that s/he is responsible for damages to the premises.
10. UBSDA urges its members to inspect their rooms carefully
prior to checkout.
All members of UBSDA are expected to adhere to these
standards. The Specialty Show
Committee expects that non-members attending our events will adhere to these standards also.
