2024 SHOWS

2025 TRKC CLUSTER drawing

The Cluster drawing began in 2023. To be held again in 2024. For each 6-Show Cluster Entry in 2024, you will receive an entry form for the 2025 TRKC CLUSTER DRAWING. The lucky person whose name is drawn will receive a Certificate for 1 dog Cluster Entry in 2025. In other words if you enter 2 dogs in all 6 shows in 2024, 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 2025.
