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.

I would understand if i entered the other 3 classes your annoyance but in child best friend class nothing is implied specifically this is for cross breeds only .. I asked before entering this class if i could and i was told i was eligable for entry .. As i said the organiser of the class picked my dog for his relationship with my son and righlty so ..
The rules state the whole of Scrufts is for CROSSBREED dogs.

I simply don't believe this comment, ESS Owner. This is a well documented show and, as such, is the regional (Scottish) qualifier for an important final at Earls Court in November. As Westie_N has said time and again, it is for crossbreeds only.
If you wish to show your pedigree ESS you have far more opportunities than the crossbreed owners ever have. I suggest you should stick to these in future.

If she was told she could enter, then the fault is with the show organisers
some people take things to serious!
It happens all the time, I have had dogs in the ring with me who have had major white patches blacked out and so on, but thats the world of showing, I DONT go getting in a taz about it and my show classes cost a fortune,

Pleae remember this class was designed for KIDS and FUN!!!!!
I am not the least bit concerned as to why you were there. That is not the point/
Your so did not rightly get placed. If he had got placed in the Companion Show junior handling class then yes, he would have rightly got placed, as you say.
Please, open your eyes!

You should not have entered that dog in that class.
My local heat took part in Westonbirt Arboretum earlier in the year. I could not be there, but, looking at the rules on Kennel Club website and the subsequent results, there is no doubt whatsoever.
It seems that the Scottish organisers were at fault, as well as the exhibitors, and they should have been stricter in their stewarding.
