PEDIGREE
I got some details on the Pedigree Bench show from the PCCI forum. It was posted by May Reyes from Pedigree. I will reproduce it here for those interested.--

...the PEDIGREE Bench Show is a conformation show with a little twist.

It is going to be the very first Bench show and the biggest event of PEDIGREE in the whole of Asia. It is patterned after the Bench shows of Crufts but due to limited space, it will be on a smaller scale.

This show is co-presented by three affiliate clubs, the Philippine Dobermann Federation, the Philippine Hound Group Club, Inc and the Bulacan K9 Club and will be for the benefit of the PCCI.

There is going to be a conformation back-to-back All-breed Championship dog show under two International Judges from Australia and fabulous PEDIGREE Bench Show trophies will await the winners. Points won from these shows will be accredited as this is a PCCI sanctioned show and points will be counted for the National Top Dog of the Year. PCCI show schedule shall be followed:

Saturday AM: Sporting & Terrier Group
Saturday PM: Toy & Hound Group

Sunday AM: Non-Sporting & Herding Group
Sunday PM: Working Group


Entry fees shall be the same as that of PCCI and you may register your entries through the PCCI office at (02)7218345. Please look for Janet.

Everyone is welcome and encouraged to join the conformation shows on April 22 & 23 at the NBC tent at the FORT. Comfortable holding areas for the dogs entered in the show shall be provided.

While the Conformation show is on-going there will be other activities and the highlight of the two-day event are the activities within the Bench area. Top Breeders with expertise on their own respective breeds and their dogs shall be occupying the Benches. Walk-ins, spectators and guests are welcome to visit the Benches and find out more about the breeds they are most interested in.

Breeders shall decorate their benches, post photos, posters or even give out leaflets as a means of sharing their knowledge on their particular breed. Breeders shall be available on both Saturday & Sunday to attend to all inquiries there may be on the said days. At the end of the event, the most popular Bench shall be given an award.

Puppies will not be allowed to be displayed and sold during the 2-day event. PEDIGREE strongly upholds the golden rule of Responsible Pet Ownership. Breeders are encouraged to invite their prospective puppy buyers to their house or kennel and develop a mentor-student relationship.

Benches shall be provided for by PEDIGREE. As for assigning of Bench participants, priority has been given to the PEDIGREE Ambassadors and PEDIGREE sponsored clubs. Other slots are still available and you may contact me at 0917-885-0508 on how to apply for it. Of course, being a PEDIGREE Event, PEDIGREE users shall be given priority.

Outside the tent, other canine activities are scheduled. All these geared on giving more knowledge to dog owners and will-be dog owners.

Please invite all your friends, those interested to learn more about dogs and those who are in search of a new dog to come and visit the PEDIGREE Bench Show on April 22 & 23 at the NBC Tent at the Fort, as this will be an opportunity of a life time to meet up and talk to the Philippine's finest breeders and to learn from them and to witness the Biggest World Class Canine event to happen here in the Philippines and in Asia.

This event shall be televised and will be aired a week after the event on Studio 23.

I hope to see you all there! Let's work hand in hand as this show is for all of us! Kudos!
