Breeds / colours from other organizations at WCF shows

All breeds from the WCC can be accepted at WCF shows if the WCF club wants it.
Titles are recognized if the breed is registered in the WCC.
But the colours of other organizations are not accepted by the WCF.
For the Bengal f.e. only the original colour is accepted, no later colours, see standard.

WCF Fun Shows

No fun shows may be held at shows that are not on the licence. The clubs and judges who do so will be suspended.
Unfortunately, we have now received many reports of incidents, which is why only WCF judges are allowed to hold
fun shows and no student judges.

This regulation applies from 01.01.2024.
