Crufts and the Kennel Club are happy for you to take photos and videos during your visit for your own personal use as souvenirs of your day at Crufts. However, there are certain restrictions on the use of cameras for still photography and private video films. Please complete the declaration form below to say that you agree to abide with these restrictions.

We are happy for you to put your Crufts videos on YouTube, Facebook or any other social media sites. However, please be aware that all videos and footage taken by the Kennel Club remains copyright of The Kennel Club who will have the right to claim (ie monetise) any video containing any such material which is uploaded to the web.   If you incorporate such material then your video may be claimed and, in certain circumstances, you may be requested to remove it from YouTube.
