SPECIAL EVENTS

TO BE HELD AT THE

2025 SHOWS

2026 TRKC CLUSTER drawing

The Cluster drawing began in 2023. To be held again in 2025. For each 6-Show Cluster Entry in 2025, you will receive an entry form for the 2026 TRKC CLUSTER DRAWING. The lucky person whose name is drawn will receive a Certificate for 1 dog Cluster Entry in 2026. In other words if you enter 2 dogs in all 6 shows in 2025, you will receive 2 entry forms for the drawing. If you name is drawn, you will receive a certificate for 1 dog TRKC cluster entry in 2026.

AGE MATTERS COMPETITION

Begun in 2017, TRKC decided to honor senior dogs over 9 yrs. Beautiful Rosettes are awarded for Oldest Dog, Best Moving, and Best Stacked!

In addition to Oldest Dog, Best Moving, and Best Stacked, the judges may also give out Award of Merit Rosettes!

Begun in 2017, TRKC has a drawing for a Beautiful Mother's Day Surprise for the Mother's Day Drawing. This is made and/or put together by one of our very creative members! Must be present to win. 1 free ticket per person. If you entered a dog, your ticket will be in your armband envelope.

EXHIBITOR VOTED BEST JUDGE FOR

THE MOTHER'S DAY CLASSIC

Started in 2019 we're continuing this special event! All exhibitors receive an official ballet to vote for whom they feel is the best judge for the weekend. The award is made with a presentation of a beautiful rosette and gift.

BEST OF BEST IN SHOWS

Started in 2021, each Junior who receives a BEST JUNIOR SHOWMANSHIP award will compete for the ULTIMATE JUNIOR Award. There could be up to 6 Juniors in this special event. A Beautiful Rosette and a gift will be awarded.

NEW TITLE AWARDS

If during the Mother's Day Classic Weekend, your dog obtains a NEW TITLE, be sure to ask for a New Title Form. Fill it out and return it to the Event Secretary. New Title Awards are presented on Sunday.

BEST OF BEST IN SHOWS

In 2013 at the first TRKC conformation shows, The Best of Best in Shows began. This event is held at the very end of the weekend. All 6 Best In Show dogs and any other dog receiving a Best In Show (including a BIS for Altered, Veteran, Puppy and Brace Class) is eligible to compete in this event.
