Two words have been added - refer to the new Rule 249 which has been reproduced below, with the change highlighted in Bold and Underlined: 249 If, at any CCC(Q) recognised event, including all handling and training events sanctioned by the CCC(Q) , a dog displays or is reported to have displayed any unprovoked aggressive or savage disposition or behaviour toward any person, or any unprovoked, unacceptably aggressive or savage disposition or behaviour toward any other exhibit or stock, it shall be the duty of any Judge, Steward, Club or Show Official, or any other member of the CCC(Q) or any Controlling Body, to report in writing to the Chief Steward/Show Manager any and all such incidents on the day of the exhibition before the closing of the exhibition. Where the incident occurs in the ring the Judge may, at any time, at his/her discretion, order that the exhibit concerned be removed from the judging ring and withdrawn from further competition. Having ordered removal/withdrawal of an exhibit, the Judge is to record the incident in his/her Judges book or record the information on the bottom of the Ring Steward’s Graph and submit a written report to the Show Officials. Having received such a report the Chief Steward/Show Manager is to: a. obtain written statements by witnesses to the incident; b. arrange a meeting of the appropriate Club or Show Committee/Subcommittee, to be held on the day of the exhibition when practical, or within 14 days of the exhibition in other cases; and, c. advise the owner of the reported exhibit that he/she may make written submissions and attend the Committee/Subcommittee meeting to be held on this matter. Any failure of the owner or handler of an exhibit to take advantage of the hearing or to provide statements is NOT to delay or invalidate the procedure. NO member who has an interest in the exhibit may be appointed to the Subcommittee conducting the hearing.
