SOTY 2022

The Committee has decided that we will be running SOTY for the 2022 year.

Please Note:  We are unable to give you the complete list of qualifying shows for the whole 2022 year due to a slower uptake because of COVID but we will keep you all informed and updated as we are going forward.  We will try to give everyone at least two months in advance notice.  

The 2022 SOTY event will be held early in 2023 for all those who qualify.

If you have already had a Best In Group, R.U. In Group or Puppy In Group so far this year, then you will have already qualified those particular dogs as we are starting the qualifying from 1st January 2022.
