DOGCARNIVAL – Unofficial Carnival Show full of fun
After the final competitions of the NITRADOG Carnival Cup on Saturday, January 25, 2025, the party will begin with a carnival show.
• Who can participate?
Every male or female entered for the NITRADOG Carnival Cup, whose owners will enter stylishly dressed, possibly even matching their four-legged pet.
• What classes can I enter?
Registration is possible in the “hobby” class, which is not limited by age or any other conditions. We have not forgotten about couples and breeding groups.
• Will the couple’s competition be different?
In the couples competition, these can be composed of males and females of one or two breeds. The dogs do not have to be owned by the same owner and do not even have to be of different sexes. The judging will be based on the harmony of the owner or owners and their dogs.
• What will be different in the breeding group competition?
A minimum of three dogs born to one breeder, from one litter or from two or more breeds, will be allowed to enter this competition. The maximum number is not limited.
• How will be the “main” competition?
The competition will be attended by males and females of all ages, as usual, according to 10 breed groups, and this time there will be also unrecognized breeds in the 11th group. Of the eleven winners advancing to the final, the three most successful will be awarded.
• What are the entry fees?
DOGCARNIVAL 2025 is free of charge.
• When is the deadline?
The last entry deadline is via www.dogshow.sk on 21.01.2025.
• Who will be the judge?
Let’s say who will not be judging. It will not be the judges for judging the exterior of the dogs. The judges can be representatives of clubs, breeders, dog owners, or handlers who will be present at the Carnival party and are willing to take on this honorary function.
• May judges of groups and competitions show dogs in the competitions where they are not judging?
Yes, they can, except for the BEST IN DOGCARNIVAL judge, who can only show dogs in couples and breeders’ group competitions.
• What conditions will determine the selection?
Judges for the competitions, eleven groups, and the final competition can be proposed on our Facebook page or by e-mail to dogcarnival@dogshow.sk. The same person can be proposed to judge multiple groups, competitions, and BEST IN DOGCARNIVAL. The proposer must have the agreement of the proposed person, who will be contacted. Proposals can be sent until 08.01.2025.
On 10.01.2025, public voting was launched on the https://www.click4survey.sk/s4/63940/b0cb302c to determine the judges. The voting will end on January 20, 2025, at 24:00.
The BEST IN DOGCARNIVAL judge cannot judge any group or competition. If a proposed “judge” receives the most votes in multiple groups, they may choose which group they wish to judge. Judging two or more groups is only possible if there are no other nominees in the group. In exceptional cases, the show committee may appoint judges.
We´re looking forward to the CARNIVAL PARTY!
