Show regulations
Exhibitors undertake to observe these regulations. Only breeds recognised or provisionally recognised by FCI can be entered, as well as breeds recognized nationally in Denmark and are pedigree registered by Dansk Kennel Klub. In the latter case the breeds must be found in a special section in the show catalogue under the heading “breeds not recognised by FCI”.
All dogs must be registered in a kennel organisations approved by FCI.
All dogs are shown at the exhibitor’s own account and risk. The organizer cannot be held liable for damages caused by dogs or exhibitors.
Docking and cropping
According to Danish legislation, tail docking, ear cropping and removal of dewclaws with the purpose of changing the dog's appearance are forbidden.
All ear cropped dogs born after 30 June 2009 cannot be shown regardless of the dog's country of birth. Cropped dogs born before 1 July 2009 can only be shown if the dog has been born in a country where ear cropping is permitted. (Danish bred ear cropped dogs born after 1 January 1985 cannot be shown).
It may be possible to procure further information at the show secretariat regarding the state of affairs of ear cropping in other FCI countries. Tail docked dogs born after 1 June 1996 cannot be shown, regardless of the dog's country of birth. The prohibition also includes dogs that have been docked for veterinary reasons, irrespective of whether a veterinary certificate is presented.
