Hi everyone!
The January shows are now open, and February shows will be opening soon. Please be mindful that many of their closing dates will fall over the holiday period, so make sure you have everything sorted early to avoid disappointment!
✅ DogsNZ Memberships: Only financial members can compete at Championship Events. If you’ve received a message from the ShowSec MailBot, check your status and get it sorted ASAP. All owners and handlers of the dog must be financial members.
✅ DogsNZ Dog Registrations: Please ensure your dog is registered before the closing date. If you’ve received an email from the MailBot, follow the instructions and links provided to get yourself and your dog sorted.
⚠️ Processing Delays: DogsNZ are currently taking longer than usual to process new memberships, renewals and dog registrations. If you plan to enter shows in January or February, get your paperwork done well before the holiday period to avoid missing out! If you’re unsure how to proceed, ask your club for assistance and follow the Guide to Entering Events Updated for 2024 here: https://www.showsec.co.nz/filespage.php
✅ DogsNZ Holiday Break: DogsNZ will be shutting down over Christmas, so make sure your paperwork is completed before they close and their staff go off on holiday.
✅ Payments: I won’t hold unpaid entries. Unpaid entries will be deleted after the closing dates, so don’t be disappointed - make sure your payments are on time!
✅ Banks: Some banks are flagging multiple payments to different account suffixes as suspicious, causing payment holds. You can check your entry status anytime on ShowSec’s My Entries page. I clear the bank daily (except over Christmas, when I’ll be taking the stat days and those in-between off). If your payment hasn’t cleared, check with your bank to ensure there are no issues.
