Welcome to the races!
We've recently had some vicious weather, and a deep layer of snow is glistening under a clear blue sky. The wind has finally calmed down and is now near non-existant, but it has left many signs of its havoc - watch out for fallen trees!
The weather conditions are excellent for a sled race, but that doesn't mean it's a walk in the park - for this is one of the toughest dog sports there is! Do you have what it takes?
Basic rules
- Each entry consists of a team of 4-6 dogz. You may enter up to 2 teams per person.
- The race will be closed at 5 entries.
- All entering dogz must be fully grown and in good health, or they will not be able to handle the conditions.
- Only dogz allowed, team must be registered. No breed limits, but I would recommend against dogs that lack the required physique for this sport. There is no bias against certain files.
- Allowed clothing: Harness. Dogs with sensitive feet may wear socks as booties.
- Allowed picture editing: Merging pictures, adding a line, drawing on harness, adding a small watermark.
The team
Your entry should show a team that is well adapted at working together.
- Each dog should be running at high speed. They should have matching strides (all should have the legs in as close positions as possible - consistency is more important than what particular stride you've chosen for your team).
- Attention should be forward. Aggressive eyes is allowed in the leader dogs without fault (they need to be determined, after all!), but not preferred in the other team members. Scared or surprised expressions are not preferred, especially in the leader/s.
- You may re-enter the same picture, but if I see your picture in show after show after show, I will eventually most likely be less likely to place it.
Example of an entry:
Include the team's name and the dogs' names with your entry.
