5.2.3 Schedule 3 Reg 14 – Exclusion of Dogs & Reg 19.8
5.2.3.1 Temporary Exclusion Order (TEO)
At Fedco 12-2019, it was noted that Exco’s TEO Procedures Document, aimed at Dog Aggression in the Breed Ring, had served KUSA well for a period, but had come up against certain obstacles:
- A CGC Bronze was not considered by certain Working Discipline experts to be an adequate test to serve as part of the readmission criteria for a dog under a TEO.
- It was difficult to find three Breed Judges prepared to assess a dog under a TEO.
- KUSA was at risk to be held liable should a dog cleared under the Exco criteria (CGC and assessment by 3 Judges) bite again.
- KUSA was at risk to be held liable should one of its Judges be bitten during the assessment procedure.
It was decided that, as a matter of urgency, an alternative procedure needed to be devised by Exco for dealing with Dog Aggression , preferably in consultation with accredited Animal Behaviour Consultants.
The procedure should not only apply to Breed dogs, but also to dogs competing in Working Disciplines.
It was agreed that Exco Members should take this back to the various Provcos, collate information and discuss further at the F2F Meeting.
In the meantime, the present system is to remain, i.e. CGC (Bronze) followed by examination by three Judges.
To be carried forward to next agenda.
Please also note the following regarding the sworn statements (Fedco 12-19 item 9.11) required for reporting TEO incidents.
“Sworn Statements from Witnesses to Dog Aggression Incidents
JH sought clarity from the Legal Adviser on whether the statements garnered from witnesses of dog-biting incidents needed to be sworn statements. NdP said that unsworn statements were statements not made under oath and were therefore not binding on a person’s conscience. Unsworn statements had little value in legal proceedings and carried minimal weight in the verification of a sequence of events leading up to an incident.
JH accepted NdP’s explanation and said she would try to convince Commissioners of Oath in the dog world to have their stamps available at dog shows, failing which, witness statements would have to be certified at a police station, or by another authority, the following day.”
Noted.
5.2.3.2 Temporary Exclusion Order (TEO) – Ch Ilruca Deyzel – Boxer - Reg No: ZA015834B11.
TEO issued 12.12.2019 following a biting incident at the Jacaranda City Kennel Club Show held on 24.11.19.
Any reply from the owner will be tabled/circulated.
No reply was received.
To be carried forward to next agenda.
5.2.3.3 Jacaranda City KC Show 24.11.2019
TEO Incident Report from Club attached to agenda. Due to the particular circumstances, no instruction to issue a TEO was given by Exco Chair. The matter was to be discussed at Exco 01-2020.
Discussion ensued and decided that, in view of the circumstances, no TEO should be issued. However, a letter of warning is to be sent to owner of dog as well as parents of child involved in the incident.
It was agreed that a circular should be drafted stating that all underage children should be supervised by an adult at all times.
5.2.3.4 Temporary Exclusion Order (TEO) – Mardusmara Maveric – Boxer - Reg No ZA002841B19
TEO issued on 13.11.2019 following incident at Western Province Kennel Club Championship Show held on 27.10.2019.
[Note: although the TEO and accompanying documents were sent to the owner the above dog (Mrs M Holtrop) on 13.11.2019 (to the correct email address), she did not receive them. The documents were sent again on 13 th and 14th Jan and she has been in telephonic contact with the Office and will attend to addressing the ‘allegations’ about her dog in writing asap.]
Note that the incident took place in the parking area as people were packing to go home.
TEO documents attached to agenda.
Any further information from Mrs Holtrop will be circulated, once received.
Although the owner’s response had not yet been received, it was decided that the Boxer should successfully undergo a CGC (Bronze) and then be examined by three Judges.
[Reply since received and circulated 27.01.2020 – This was circulated to Exco Members who have upheld the decision that the dog should undergo a CGC (Bronze), etc.]

Email received from Clr Hubbard:
“DOGSPC and NAPC, advise that Gauteng would be able to step in and host the KUSA Classic 2021. However, if a viable application is received from another Province by end February 2020, to host the KUSA Classic 2021, Gauteng would withdraw from the 2021 application.
Please be advised that 5 International Judges have been contracted for 2021 as per the decision taken by the KUSA Classic Consultancy Team. This decision was made towards the end or 2019 after we had contacted 14 International Judges for 2020 during the period of July to December 2019, and only managed to contract 5 Judges out of the 14 who were not already contracted or committed to other shows worldwide. We are leaving it too late to contact International Judges to come out to South Africa. International FCI/Other Judges need to be contacted and/or contracted at least 20 months prior to the Show.”
