Driffield Championship Show 2025
Driffield Championship Dog Show
We’re now pleased to be in a position to announce the arrangements for Driffield in 2025. This year we’ve been granted permission by the RKC, to run two shows, Driffield 2025, and the Driffield 49th show.
Driffield 2025 will be our usual show structure, with both CC and non CC breeds scheduled, AVNSC & Import Register
Driffield 49th show is a CC breeds only event, with AVNSC and Import Register
Schedules are being finalised for both shows and will be available through Higham Press.
Entry fees: please refer to schedule for details. Exhibitors entering by post must refer to the note of discounted fees on offer when entering both shows. For exhibitors entering both shows online an automatic discount will be applied. In order to receive the discounted fees online exhibitors must enter the 2025 championship show first. Higham Press’s system will then automatically apply the discount for entries to Driffield 49th championship show.
Please note exhibitors do not have to enter the same dog into both shows to qualify for the discounted fee however dogs entered must be registered in the same ownership to qualify.
We are providing exhibitors the opportunity to enter two shows at the same venue on the same day. We would appreciate your cooperation in trying to make it more efficient to avoid unnecessary delays. Please be aware when entering that whilst classes may be held up for dogs being shown in another ring, they will not be held up for exhibitors, so please consider a suitable back - up handler in case of this situation. The two shows will run concurrently.
The 2025 show will commence with the judging of the Dog classes. The 49th Championship Show will commence with the judging of the Bitch classes. The rings will be the IN/OUT configuration, located opposite each other.
At the request by exhibitors from previous shows the classification for breed entries in excess of 100 dogs at previous recent Driffield shows has been increased to include all Crufts qualifying classes for - Irish Setter; Golden Retriever; Labrador Retriever; Cocker Spaniel; Whippet; Staffordshire Bull Terrier; Bearded Collie; Border Collie; Rough Collie.
