The Kennel Club is reminding exhibitors of dogs qualified for Crufts 2014 that the deadline for online entries is midnight on Monday (January 20).

The final entry date for Crufts has been extended to enable dogs which qualify at Boston and Manchester Dog Show Society Championship Shows in 2013 and 2014 to be entered.

Crufts takes place from March 6-9 at the NEC, Birmingham. The breed classes are scheduled to take place on the following days:

Thursday, March 6 – Working and Pastoral

Friday, March 7 – Terrier and Hound

Saturday, March 8 – Toy and Utility

Sunday, March 9 – Gundog

Gerald King, Chairman of Crufts, said: “We thank all of the exhibitors who have so far entered Crufts 2014, the world’s most prestigious dog show, and would like to remind all exhibitors that the final closing date is 20th January 2014, so there is still time to enter.

"We moved the qualification date for Crufts back so that exhibitors who qualify at Manchester and Boston can bring their dogs to Crufts in 2014, rather than having to wait almost 14 months for the opportunity.”
