Qualifying heats for the Junior Warrant Winner of the Year competition will take place at designated open shows hosted by general canine societies across the UK throughout May, June, July and August 2025. These heats offer young dogs the opportunity to compete for a place in the prestigious semi-finals, with the final being held at Crufts 2026. The first heat took place over the past weekend, officially launching this year’s competition. Exhibitors are encouraged to check the list of upcoming qualifying shows and ensure they meet the eligibility criteria ahead of entry.
