The Championship Show

The BMDC of GB's annual Championship show will be held on the Saturday of our Ruby Jubilee event.

This is our annual club show and usually attracts an entry second only to Crufts in the UK of up to 200 dogs. Our judges this year are Breed Specialists Jan Herngren from Sweden judging Dogs and Sandra Gatward judging Bitches. All UK BMDs or those registered in any FCI country are eligible to enter but the show is run to UK Kennel Club rules . Our show system is very different to most countries but this usually makes it interesting to visitors who are used to the FCI structure. For example all the show judging will take place in one ring so it is possible to see all the dogs.

Like everywhere else, entries have to be made in advance. Details of how to bring your dog into Britain can be found via the link below for overseas visitors. Show entry details will be in the schedule and available online at www.fossedata.co.uk

If you need any help with entries you can contact the Secretary Karen Bird on secretary@bernese.co.uk and she will be happy to help

The Show is opened by a MASSIVE parade of Bernese carters in Swiss costume.

The Obedience Show, alongside the Championship show, is also fully licensed by the Kennel Club and open to all BMDs and again details can be found via the web site or in the schedule.

In the evening after the show there is the annual after show party event the BernKnees Up with music, food, dancing and entertainment.
