Rules off enrollment

It is with great pleasure that we can inform you that our dog shows will take place on Saturday the 26th and Sunday the 27th of September 2020 - of course based on the current national regulations!

Over the past few weeks, both the MECC team as well as our organisation have worked very hard on a protocol with measures that will allow us to welcome you in a safe and hospitable atmosphere.

In addition to the MECC team, we would also like to thank the Municipality of Maastricht and the Dutch Kennel Club for the trust they have placed in us.

There will be two exhibitions, which will take on a different form to previous years and to how we would like them to be. Unfortunately, it has to be this way! The coronavirus measures leave us no choice. This also means there will be no honorary judging, no group judging and no Best in Show this year. These judgings cause large crowds of exhibitors and visitors in too small an area. There will be an inspection report and a qualification for every dog. We will also be awarding the normal CAC and CACIB championships.

We ask you to respect our rules, to sit down in the section reserved for you, wear face masks in the ring, keep your distance from each other and use the indicated walking routes.

You can find our COVID-19 protocol on our website under downloads.

Because it may not be possible for all judges to travel to Maastricht, we are now updating our list of judges. You will find these on our website very soon.

The breeds will be inspected in 22 rings. We will have time blocks with a total of 80 dogs per ring. As soon as we have reached the maximum number of dogs per ring, the registration for the relevant breeds in that ring will close. Registration will be confirmed as soon as it has been paid for. So sign up quickly to avoid disappointment.

In spite of all the additional measures, we hope that you will still enjoy our shows as much as ever. You are not permitted to hug or kiss,  but there are still many other social opportunities to chat with each other.

It has been quite a challenge for us and we are all taking a big step! However, we are confident that we can present a good and very safe show. Otherwise, we never would have gotten this far.

So please don't let us down. Sign up and please respect our rules. Let's show the 'outside world' that we are capable of many good things.

The show has been organised with the approval of the municipality, the Dutch Kennel Club (Raad van Beheer) and the MECC. This is based on the current situation in our country. Should this change in the coming period and we are forced to cancel the shows based on national and/or local regulations, we will refund your registration fee minus ten euros. Unfortunately we have to charge ten euros to cover the various preparation costs that we cannot avoid incurring. You will receive a voucher for those ten euros that you can redeem when you register for one of our shows in 2021.

You can register via our website www.dogshowmaastricht.nl or directly via online dogshows. Registration closes on Sunday 20 September 2020.
