Stud Book Numbers

The majority of dogs who get a stud book number qualify through Showing and this is basically how you qualify:

For all Stud Book Bands, you qualify for a Stud Book Number if you win a Challenge Certificate or a Reserve Challenge Certificate
Each breed is assigned to one of 5 Stud Book Bands, Tollers are currently in Band D (effective January 2022), which means the following places also qualify for a Stud Book Number at Championship Shows where Challenge Certificates are offered for the breed

• First, second or third place in Open Class
• First place in Limit Class

Hold a Junior Warrant (more of that on the Junior Warrant page)

There are other ways to gain a stud book number:

In Field Trials : Winning first, second, third or fourth awards, Diplomas of Merit or Certificates of Merit at Field Trials held under Kennel Club Field Trial Regulations

In Obedience : Winning first, second or third prize in Championship Class 'C' in Championship Obedience Classes held under Kennel Club Obedience Regulations

Gaining a Stud Book Number qualifies a dog for Crufts for life
