British Heritage Dog Breeds

Hi from Birbrinda. Can anyone tell us if they have obtained Junior Warrant in Dandies, or any other Vulnerable or Rare Breed. If so, HOW? As Breed Classes at Open Shows are as rare as Hens Teeth, one is left with entering AV Terrier or AVNSC. These classes do not count for Junior Warrant, which, as far as I can see, makes it difficult, if not downright impossible, to obtain the required points. Does anyone know different? Surely this is a matter that needs redressing by the KC.

Hello! Suggest you contact Beverly Deacon (Cassencarrie) who will advise you on this.

There are some ETTs that have their JW. You really have to look around at shows all over the place to find breed classes.

Some of the championship shows have classes for breeds which do not have Champion Certificates available, these classes are still classed as Open and with these you can get your 'Open' points.

Rare Breeds cannot win the Junior Warrant, as some points have to be won at championship shows where CCs are on offer. As these breeds don't have CCs, they obviously can't fulfil that requirement.

I know it can be done in the Cardigan's, but the biggest problem can be winning in classes with big enough entries.
