Have A Dog Day
UK dog show secretarial service managing online and postal entries for Kennel Club licensed championship and open shows across the United Kingdom.
Have A Dog Day is a UK-based dog show secretarial company serving kennel clubs and breed societies looking to outsource the administration of their Kennel Club licensed events. Like other UK secretarial services, they manage the full entry cycle — from publishing the show schedule and accepting entries to producing the ring catalog — allowing the hosting club to focus on running the day itself. Their website also serves as a convenient directory of upcoming shows they manage.

The UK Show Entry Landscape
How to find which service manages your show
| Multiple Providers | In the UK there is no single national entry portal. Several secretarial companies — including Have A Dog Day, Higham Press, and Fosse Data Systems — each manage their own roster of shows. |
| Check Each Schedule | The show schedule (premium list) always states which secretarial company is managing the event and how to submit your entry. Always refer to the current schedule for closing dates and entry methods. |
| Kennel Club Coverage | All shows managed by Have A Dog Day are Kennel Club licensed, meaning results count toward KC titles and the entry and judging processes follow standard Kennel Club regulations. |
