The Kennel Club has announced details of its stud book bands for 2022. As previously announced, stud book bands are allocated based upon average show entries, using the same formula as for the CC allocation. These new bands have been adjusted so that they are more evenly spread than in previous years, which will have the bonus of providing extra opportunities for dogs to gain stud book numbers. In making this adjustment, the link has also been removed between a breed’s stud book band and the minimum requirements for hands-on experience to be considered to award challenge certificates for the first time. These numbers will be reviewed regularly by the judges committee. Hogan, Michael (7 March 2019). "10 things you didn't know about Crufts". The Telegraph.

While the show strain is bred to the conformation standard, the working strain is bred for working ability, and as such, several physical differences have appeared. Working-type dogs tend to be larger with flatter heads and shorter ears. The coat also tends to be shorter and finer than the show variety and have less feathering. The working strain seems to be more energetic than the show strain.
