Entry forms
They will be available in the dogoffice user account ten days before the show.
The entry form also serves as a unique ticket to the exhibition. The number of registered individuals = the number of free entries to the exhibition.
Arrive at the exhibition with sufficient time to spare according to the judging schedule, which we publish approximately 7 days before the exhibition.
It is pointless to be at the show from the beginning if your breed is judged later. However, it is necessary to ensure sufficient time reserve (for example, in case of complications upon arrival, due to the current traffic situation, the journey from the parking lot, etc.).
The entry form contains information about the show days (one entry form per show day), all registered dogs, their classes, including catalogue numbers and show ring numbers.
