Dog of the Year (DOTY):

Points system for Members

Dog Of The Year Representative Competition 2021

Due to the ECRC DOTY event having to be cancelled for 2020, we have decided to extend our points system to incorporate two years.

To be able to enter you must be a fully paid up member for the duration of the competition (2019, 2020 and 2021). You cannot submit points and join retrospectively.

• Points collected from 1^st August 2019 through to 31^st July 2021
• The dog and bitch with the highest number of points will be asked to be our representatives.  Should they be unable to attend, the invitation will be passed to the next dog/bitch with the next highest number of points
• Puppy points do not count
• Proof of wins may be requested

Double points can be claimed when gained at any open show held in the South West Area (Cornwall, Devon, Somerset, Dorset, Wiltshire and Gloucester).
