Carolina Shepherd Competitions & SAR
NEW 8/26/24: We have updated our competition form! Please use the updated form for your entries moving forward.
The Blue Ridge Club hosts shows and activities for Carolina Shepherds and also coordinates search and rescue (SAR) activities throughout the Adirondack Mountains. While participation in competitions is not required, it is encouraged.
Entries use a random number generator (RNG) to give a random value to a dog's entry. This determines how well the dog performs and can be modified by traits and toys, treats, or equipment from the store.
Titles were modified from AKC.

How to Play:
1) You need a Carolina Shepherd to participate in conformation and sports activities, however if you do not own one yet OR if you do not have a dog that is ready to participate in SAR you may use one of the club dogs to participate in SAR. You may also use a club dog to participate in Trail Clean-Up if you do not own a Carolina Shepherd yet.
2) If you have not already created a bank account for your winnings, sign up for one here.
3) Fill out the below entry form for each of your dogs or the club dog that you are using. You may write 'Club Dog' in place of a kennel page link if you are using a club dog.
4) Dogs must be health tested prior to being entered in competitions.
Rules:
You may use a club dog to participate in SAR if you do not own a Carolina Shepherd OR if your dog(s) are not ready to participate in SAR (ie they have not passed the test courses yet). You may only use a maximum of one club dog to enter SAR each round until you have a dog that is ready to participate in SAR.
The same club dog may be used by more than one user during the same SAR round.
Club dogs may not be entered in sports or conformation. They are not awarded SAR titles.
You may enter up to 7 of your own dogs in conformation, sports, and SAR each round.
You may only enter ONE dog in trail clean-up each round. If you do not have a Carolina Shepherd of your own you may use a club dog to participate in trail clean-up. Club dogs may not participate in inspiration/injury.
List all traits (both positive and negative) and equipment for each dog.
You may only enter one sport (agility, obedience, or tracking) each round.
Incorrect forms will be skipped and noted at the bottom of the results post.
If a dog does not have previous titles or title bonuses, you may write n/a or none.
If you try to apply an item you do not have in your bank, your entry will be rolled without the item and noted at the bottom of the results post.
