PROOF OF POSTING - The Royal Kennel Club wishes to remind exhibitors of its Proof of Posting (POP) policy. The Royal Kennel Club is aware that on occasion entries do get lost in the post. However, a small number of exhibitors may be exploiting the Proof of Posting system by various means. In order to address this unsportsmanlike behaviour, the Royal Kennel Club uses a Proof of Posting database which lists everyone who makes an entry on the day of a show, and, in particular, whether Proof of Posting was provided on the day. The Royal Kennel Club will contact exhibitors who have not provided Proof of Posting or Proof of Online Entry following the show. read more.
