THE SCOTTISH TERRIER CLUB OF AMERICA
PAWSITIVELY CLEAN SCOTS!
GUIDELINES FOR STCA MEMBERS ATTENDING
SPECIALTY SHOWS
In light of the anti-dog sentiment in our country today, and the wish
that Scotties will be accepted in hotels as good canine citizens, the
STCA has approved the following guidelines:
A. Don’t leave home without it! Traveling items should include the
following when appropriate: Heavy duty plastic to place under all
crates in order to protect the carpeting in room; newspapers,
large garbage bags, paper towels, baggies for picking up solid
waste, towels from home to wipe off paws. Don’t forget water,
dog food, bowls, spoons, and can openers, as well as medication
for diarrhea from your vet, in case your dog develops colitis due
to the excitement and stress of the big weekend.
B. Crate your dogs! CRATES ARE REQUIRED for all guests
traveling with dogs. All dogs must be crated at all times
whether you are in or out of your room; dogs are not to be loose
in a hotel room at any time. It is often helpful to leave the TV on
at a low volume. Dogs will not respond to unfamiliar sounds if
they don’t hear them. If your dog is prone to barking, you need to
take the dog with you when you leave the hotel room. Dogs guilty
of continuous barking may subject their owners to being removed
from the hotel, with no refund for the room.
C. No dogs on the bed or furniture! Even the most trustworthy dog
may be tempted to “mark” on hotel furniture.
D. Carry or crate! All dogs must be either carried or crated on a dolly
through the hotel lobby to go outdoors for exercise and walks.
There will be no exceptions to this rule.
F. NO GROOMING OR BATHING IN ROOMS! No exceptions. All grooming
must be done in a designated area at the show site. Hotel towels are
NEVER to be used for the dogs or in the crates.
G. Bringing Puppies (litters) to a Specialty Weekend - If you MUST travel
with puppies, they are to be crated. The activity level of puppies is
high and they can easily move around an exercise pen. You are
responsible for protecting your own puppies as well as the carpeting
and furniture in your hotel room.
H. All STCA Host Hotel rooms are subject to inspection during your hotel
stay by an STCA member, as well as a hotel representative, to ensure
that these and other specific hotel guidelines are being followed. STCA
members who witness any infraction of these rules are expected to
report these infractions to their Show Chairman or members of the
Board. Any person found in violation of these Hotel rules will
be subject to a Bench Show Committee Hearing.
I. It is understood that any member will be fully responsible for any and all
fees charged by the hotel in the event this member is found guilty of
improper behavior and/or of damage to hotel property.
J. Exemplary Manners Are The Only Manners Acceptable! When your
Show Chairman informs the Host Hotel that we are responsible dog
owners, he or she expects the membership to take this responsibility
seriously. The STCA will excuse members who are irresponsible or
disrespectful of hotel facilities during Specialty weekends.
K. AKC Rules for Attending Dog Shows Apply: STCA Show Chair and Hotel
Staff work together to ensure that STCA members and guests with
reserved rooms under the STCA block are subject to AKC Rules.
Additionally, AKC rules prohibit any un-entered dog at the show site
(for Sweeps/Rally/Obedience – this means ballroom).
Stand up and be counted as a responsible dog owner
and a proud STCA Member
E. Use Outdoor Exercise Areas Only! Do not exercise your dog in any
area except in the clearly designated areas. Waste bags and
deposit receptacles will be provided. Pick up solid waste
immediately and dispose of it properly. The exercise areas must
be kept clean!
PLEASE – NO FLEXILEADS AT HOTEL & SHOW AREA.
