Contact the desk
One address, read regularly, and the useful messages change the entry they concern.
The desk reads one address: contact@csjk9blog.com. Every message is read. The useful ones change the entry they concern, and a changed entry carries its new date.
What is worth sending
- A regulation that has moved on. If the Kennel Club, the International Sheep Dog Society or a race organiser has amended a rule this record quotes, say which rule and where the new wording is published.
- A correction of fact. The entries describe structures, courses and cards; if one of them is described wrongly, the correction is welcome and the source for it is what makes it usable.
- A gap. There are disciplines this record barely touches, and carting is the clearest example. If something is organised in Britain and is not written down here, that is worth knowing.
- An enquiry about a paid placement, after reading the sponsored content page, which sets out what would and would not be accepted.
What the desk cannot do
The record does not run events, so it cannot confirm an entry, move a date, settle a dispute over a judge’s decision or tell you whether a trial is going ahead in bad weather. The society running the event is the only source for that, and its own channel will always be faster than this site. The desk does not train dogs, sell or recommend equipment, value a dog, or answer questions that need a vet. It does not publish results and does not accept results for publication.
Where else to write
Questions about the conditions of using the site belong with the terms page, and questions about data with the privacy page. How entries are chosen, checked and corrected is set out on the editorial policy page, and what this record is for on the about page. For everything else, write to the address above and say which entry you were reading; it makes the answer quicker and the correction better.
What happens to a message
A message is read, answered if it needs an answer, and kept only for as long as the correction or the enquiry it concerns is open. Nothing sent to the desk is published, quoted or passed on, and the address is not added to any list. A correction that changes an entry is credited to nobody: the entry is simply corrected and its date moves.
