PLEASE Read!!!
Companion entries:
​
We are pleased this year to offer companion entries for individuals who are traveling together who would like to combine their dogs onto teams in the draw. This allows traveling companions to each enter one dog together to comprise a single entry.
Please remember that once entered as a companion entry, that dog cannot be pulled from one companion entry and substituted into another companion entry. A companion entry can only consist of 2 dogs – 1 dog belonging to each member of the companion team. If a companion team has 2 dogs each, they can enter 2 teams of 2 dogs (one dog from each for each companion) or as two separate entries of 2 dogs each person. A single entry of 3 - 4 dogs for a Companion is NOT ALLOWED. A Companion entry goes into the draw as one draw tag just as the individual entries do.
To submit your companion entry:
1. Each handler should submit the entry form as usual between 7/15 - 7/19.
2. Please email catbirdstockdogs@gmail.com with notification of your companion entry (one email may be sent, but please cc your companion on the email as well). This email needs to include:
-
Name of Companion Handler.
-
Which dogs are to be paired up for the companion entry in the draw.
-
This email MUST be received during the entry window of 7/15 - 7/19.
