"A
crossbreed is a dog of mixed blood, whose parents are of two different
breeds, or a mixture of several breeds." says the Kennel
Club.
The Kennel Club is co-ordinating Scruffts heats throughout the
UK in 2010. The winners from each heat will be invited to Discover
Dogs 2010 at Earls Court 1, London in November for the Grand Final.

How to Enter
There is no need to register or enter in advance; just simply
turn up on the day at any of the heats listed and you too could
dazzle the judges. Entry to each class is just £1 and all
the money raised goes to the Kennel Club Charitable Trust to help
‘make a difference for dogs’.
Eligibility for Entry
Scruffts
is a competition for crossbreed dogs - pedigree dogs, therefore,
are not eligible for entry. Dogs must be over six months of age
to enter a Scruffts class and must not be older than 12 years.
Scruffts
rosettes will be awarded to 1st, 2nd and 3rd places in each class.
It
must be stressed that only 1st place winners in each class are
eligible for the final in November. However, in the event of a
1st place winner not being able to attend the final then 2nd or
3rd place winners will be invited to attend in their place.
Judging Guidelines
Whilst
Scruffts is a fun competition, judges will also be checking that
the dogs have the following qualities:
-
Good character
- Good health
- Good temperament with people and other dogs
