You'll find that, IMHO, the keeshond breeder community is one of the most helpful, and definitely the most active, in the game. ![]() |

Definitely the friendliest bunch! I have had moments where I have nothing to show or don't have luck with litters and someone is always willing to help out and help improve my kennel! |

Did you guys see Keeshonds are #24 on the competition list now? Ive never seen us that high before... |

Wow! That's fantastic. It must be a reflection of our breed activity plus our show ring results. ![]() |

Ok all, I am thinking of hosting an all breed show. However, I don't think a $5 entry fee will be worth the money it takes to put the show on. Would any of you enter a show that has an entry fee higher than $5 and if you would, what is the highest entry fee you would be willing to pay? I am making sure I would get the entries before putting it on. I am willing to add payouts for BOB on a few breeds. |

I dont usually worry about how much a show is gonna cost, as long as it has dogs I want to compete against in it, (or dogs Im trying to avoid facing in the ring NOT in it), and who the judge is. That being said, Spyte, I'll enter a show of yours no matter what the fee is. Keeshond solidarity! |

I try to avoid $20 shows as much as I can. Less than that is cool with me. ![]() Jessica |

I enter shows at all levels - $5 to $20. While I prefer the $5 shows, I often find that $20 shows are quite worthwhile if I place in group/show - the payouts justify the higher entry cost. Are you looking to profit from sponsoring one, or just to contribute? I sponsored one a while back and broke even, but only just. I'm sure you're well aware, but remember that you only get back 20% of entry fees. I went for a show with a $400 sponsorship fee, set the entry cost at $20 and it worked alright. I still don't think that entries are at a high enough level for it to ever be profitable though. Best of luck - you'll have my entries ![]() Analeyn |

this post has been edited 1 time(s) I generally prefer $5 or $10 shows, although I have entered the odd $20 by accident. But if you put a show on -- I will enter whatever the entry ![]() You just need to post the name of your show -- so I know. I am happy to enter any shows put on by Keesie breeders, but I need to know which show it is .... LOL ----- Last edited by Aussiewolfsister on 1/6/2015 4:08:44 AM |

Price is actually the last consideration when I enter. Judge and competition being the first. Let me know the name of the show and my entries will be there. ![]() |

I am not doing it for profit, I don't figure I will make a profit on any show really regardless of the entry fee. I am actually doing it for two different reasons: 1. To contribute, hence the higher pay out. The payouts are higher for all placings I believe. Plus the added payouts, I'm hoping it will help a few people out. 2. I want to experiment. I have a breeder in a different breed that does this and says it's a better way to show due to the payouts and lower amount of competition. So I am entering some of those and I want to host one or two. I will not be setting the entry fee at $20 as I feel that is a bit much. I will most likely set it at $15. If that works for everyone! I want to take you guys into consideration for this! |

Speaking of creating shows, as i watch my cash balance increase (love the log in bonus btw), Im thinking of hosting a specialty. We're getting a ridiculous number of entries on even a nightly basis. Would you folks be interested? |

Specialties are always welcome ![]() I have two new studs up - Interstellar (94.95) & Divergent (94.90) www.showdog.com/dog.aspx?id=13635604 www.showdog.com/dog.aspx?id=13635623 Analeyn |

I would absolutely be interested in a specialty and would enter Spyte's show as well. |

I just bred a puppy with a 9.4 Foreq ![]() I'm very pleased with this result! Finally results are showing from selective trait breeding. www.showdog.com/dog.aspx?id=13704547 |

I love all these new boys coming up for stud! I can't wait til my girls hit 30 days so I can breed! Also, specialties are always great! I don't have anyone I would enter right now. My boy is behind SOP and a bit trait wise, so I only enter him really as a filler. I would gladly add a payout or two though ![]() |
