~~~

All together, we're looking at around $9000 being given out for prize money! There is some room for variation (awards for dog titles, chat trivia, money for participation) but I think that's pretty amazing. happy :) Many thanks for the people who are offering to help fund the event - we are still accepting donations because the more we have the more we'll be able to give out / spread the cost amongst the donators.

In addition, we are also looking for some judges to help judging the puppy naming, images of autumn and jack'o'lantern hieroglyphics contests. If you choose to judge you will not be able to participate in the event. In order to judge, you must have been a SD member for at least a year. happy :)

Event threads will be going up through Sept 2shocked 8Oct 1 in their respective forums, so be sure to keep an eye out! laugh :D I'll be posting links to event threads below so keep an eye on this thread. wink ;) Entries will open as soon as the threads are up, but entries will be closing on Oct 15. Donors will be contacted shortly.

Just an update since LRK's last post:

The general hosting arrangement will be the following:
Myths - Showing-related events
Dead Until Dark - Community-related events, RL dress up
Little River Kennels - Off-topic events, pup naming

Also, donations will be calculated from the offered amount of each donor by percentage. I will be adding up the final budget and PMing people who have offered to donate shortly. happy :)

Since I am donating money I'm not going to take part in the contests so I can volunteer for whatever is needed.

Sounds great Silk N Denim! Though if you want some prize money whenever, try to stop by for chat trivia. laugh :D I plan to throw out a good bit of cash for that, I'll be sponsoring specialties, putting sizable payouts up and some decent prize money for that. wink ;)

On that note I haven't decided on a time yet for any of the trivias, do you guys have any preferences for times for this upcoming Saturday? I'll try to do whatever time is more convenient for you guys. happy :)

I'll try to make some no-handler shows.

If I make a show called "Barktober No-Handlers Please" do you think we could get folks to voluntarily respect that, at least at a breed level? Maybe confuse the heck out of Stella and company - they'd have to actually look at the dog!

In addition, I dabble in 6 different breeds and can add a specialty for each - English and American Cocker, English, Irish, Gordon, and R&W Setters.

Specialties between October 5th and 7th for:

American Cockers
English Cockers
English Setters
Irish Setters
Irish R&W Setters
Gordon Setters

And

On the 12th, Wire Fox Terrier (hope we can get enough entries for this one).

If there are a couple more breeds who don't get specialties too often and can come up with the entries I can do a few more.

I don't know. I think the people participating in Barktober would, but any other users may not know/care so they wouldn't do it.

I am willing to donate or host a specialty or all breed.

If we donate and host shows are we still allowed to compete in events?

And is their a prize for GCH and UD titles during that time frame?

You can enter any contest you aren't donating to (because obviously if you won there would be no one to send prizes to lol).

As long as you aren't judging, you are more than allowed to participate in things. happy :) I'll be making sure that any donors who compete won't get their own prizes, we've got enough of a prize pool to make sure that everybody gets awarded I think. wink ;)

There is a prize for a GCH and UDX, but not GCH and UD. The event thread isn't up yet, but I'll notify you when it is - I'm hoping to get it done soon but it might have to wait until the weekend. happy :)

Did you know?
The third obedience title is a UD, or "Utility Dog", which is earned through competition in the Utility obedience class
