Contest History

20 Points

Pups and Trainers are very interactive with each other, both in how they mosh/play and how they often use nonverbal queues within the community.

The Lifestyle portion is a way to somewhat judge that aspect of the contestants. Judges will award points based on their perception of both the contestant's behavior and social interactions within the community from the start of the meet and greet until the end of the contest.

40 Points  

The Contestant must choose between a show presentation or fantasy. A show presentation is a series of 3 set commands with a partner. In between each command, the trainer must put the pup into the stack position.  The commands for the show presentation will be provided during the Meet and Greet the night before, and the Contestant may elect to either have an announcer prompt them through the commands or go through at their own pace.

The fantasy option is a chance for a puppy and/or trainer to demonstrate what pup play looks like to them. Fantasies should be no longer than 3 minutes in length, and music should be the correct length and provided to the Producer digitally no later than the start of the Meet and Greet.
