Crufts 2022 – Northern Team Inter Regional Application

CRUFTS INTER-REGIONAL TEAM COMPETITION  Friday 11th March 2022

NORTHERN TEAM – APPLICATION FORM

The Inter-Regional Competition next year will be held on Friday 11th March 2022.

The format will feature 1 Beginner dog, 2 Novice dogs, 2 ‘A’, 1 ‘B’ and 1 ‘C’ plus a Beginner reserve.  Two Border Collies or Working Sheepdogs only may feature in the team with a maximum of three Crossbreeds, one of which may not be of Collie type and no more than three of any other single breed.

It is of utmost importance that the selectors have a wide and strong choice of other breeds.

The Northern Team will be selected by myself, Alison Gresty and Julie Rowlands.

Dogs must not be Obedience Champions and handlers and dogs competing at the 2022 Crufts Championships are not eligible.  Those eligible to apply for the Northern Team are to reside in Co. Durham, Cleveland, Tyne & Wear, Northumberland, Humberside, Yorkshire, Cheshire, Lincolnshire, Greater Manchester, Lancashire, Cumbria and Merseyside.

The closing date for eligibility is 31st October 2021 and all entries must be received by myself by 18th December 2021.

The try out dates will be:

Sunday 14th November at Newton Heath

Saturday 18th December at Eggborough Village Hall

I would normally like to do them closer together but I have left it quite late to book venues and try to avoid clashing with things, which proved near impossible so these are the only dates we can do this year. Hope you can attend.

If you would like more info please ask. I will post more updates with times etc as we get closer 😊😊
