I'm so glad you are interested in showing your pet! Please take the time to read this page carefully in order to know what is expected of your entry. It's a pretty standard and quick list, so do everyone a favor and read it! :) Doing so will ensure an enjoyable event for everyone. If you fail to follow the rules there will be consequences.

Please check out MLCK's Posing Guide if you have any questions about styles and what is looked at when judging a pose. If you have any questions feel free to zip us an email.

Rules Only 2 entries per kennel per show, unless otherwise stated. (For example if a show isn't recieving enough entries I may allow you to enter more than 2) Fully matured adults only You may only enter your unique pets and photos! Absolutely do not steal anyone else's photos, and only show dogz that are one-of-a-kind bred or adopted (aka do not use downloadable petz) One email per entry Poses must be facing right to ensure fair and correct judging Photos used in previous shows can not be reused! Having your pet re-pose for each show is not only more fair, but also will increase your petz show skill. The background must be white, and your petz should not be wearing any clothes or have other petz or toys in the picture. DO NOT edit your entries! This includes flipping the image, adding a shadow, inner beveling, adding eye sheen, etc. Any envidence of tampering with the original photo will cause immediate disqualification. Make sure the files are attached and not imbedded/inserted into the email message Use the correct email subject so your entry is not misplaced Have fun! :) Failure to follow the rules will result in disqualification from the show, and (based on the severity of the offense) possibility of being banned from future competition at Dogz Naturalist. You have been warned several times, so please just follow the rules!

Show Categories Front "Dali" Pose - This category is open to any dogz breed (with the exception of fantasy or wild breedz such as horsez) that is posing in the Front or "dali" pose. Profile "Dane" Pose - This category is open to any dogz breed (with the exception of fantasy or wild breedz such as horsez) that is posing in the Profile or "dane" pose. Again, if you have any concerns about posing check out MLCK's Posing Guide. It's a fabulous resource.

Points and Ranking Dogz Naturalist's Show Points and Titles Out of all the entries for each show 5 pets will recieve titles, awards, and points. They will be distributed as follows: Best in Show: 5 Points First Place: 4 Points Second Place: 3 Points Third Place: 2 Points Honorable Mention: 1 Point Overall Points and Titles As you compete in more shows, your pet will increase it's overall points and ranking in the petz show world. Once your pet owns a title it can be included in their show name. For example a pet named Dogz Naturalist's Super Cool Cougar could become RCh. Dogz Naturalist's Super Cool Cougar after recieving 5 show points.
