Washing Room Rules
The washing room must be booked in advance through our website.
Appointments can be booked.
If you are unable to book an appointment online, you can book the washing room at the registration desk during the available times.
WASHING ROOM RULES:
These rules have been set up to give all participants the same amount of time. We understand that coat preparation may take longer, but these rules allow us to guarantee access to the washing room for everyone, avoiding exclusions or a lack of available space. We ask for your cooperation in respecting the time limits and supporting a fair organization for all.
Special thanks go to The Hot Dog Line for supplying the equipment. All the tools used during the event will be available for purchase at exclusive discounts at stand no. 1.

Attention!
Washing room bookings will be managed online. The link to book your washing room appointment will be active from early January 2027.
STATIONS
The 8 available washing stations can be used for a maximum of 15 minutes per person (20 minutes for large dogs), with no exceptions. This limit is essential to give all participants the time they need to prepare their dog on schedule before the competition. Compliance with this limit will be carefully monitored by staff.
DRYING
In the drying area, 20 stations with blowers and hair dryers will be available. Maximum drying times are set at 30 minutes for small dogs and 45 minutes for large dogs (Standard Poodles, Kerry Blue Terriers and American Cocker Spaniels). Exceeding these times will not be allowed: if the limit is exceeded, the organizers may remove dryers or blowers so that all participants can access the equipment under the same rules.
RULES
1. If a competitor needs extra time for preparation, brushing or any pre-competition clipping, they must move to a separate station, where they can continue working without using hair dryers or blowers.
2. Anyone arriving late for their booked time is not guaranteed access to the washing room, as it will not be possible to reschedule late arrivals without inconveniencing other participants.
3. Please note: Dogs not booked by the online registration closing date will not be able to access our washing room. The room will close strictly on Sunday at 1:30 pm.
No exceptions to these rules will be granted.
BADGE
At the entrance to the room, you will need to collect your washing authorization badge from the reception desk. Each competitor may be accompanied in the washing room by only one assistant. Moving hair dryers or blowers from the electrical outlets set up by the organizers, or using your own equipment, is not allowed, to avoid overloading the electrical system. Each competitor may use only one blower or hair dryer at a time.
