Best of Breeders Contest


Take a break from Bazaar breeding, to breed some more!

We challenge each of you to put your best litters forward as part of the inaugural The Best of Breeders breeding contest, which aims to highlight the breeding efforts of our PL petzers and give an opportunity to appreciate the fruits of their hard work (and Prism's batch breeder).


The tentative cutoff date for entries is Wed 21st August AEST, after which voting for the People's Choice will open for 2 days.
🏆 The award ceremony will be held on Sun 24th August AEST, where judge's picks and winners for each category will be announced (and awards given out)!


We highly encourage donating these litters to future advents!
Feel free to message me with any questions you may have on discord (nymble #7600)

  • Matching Set Award - Best Cohesion
    this breeder's litter demonstrates a pleasing cohesiveness, with a strong resemblance between siblings whilst also being adorable individually!
  • Lucky Dice Award - Best Variety
    this breeder's pair throws out varied & surprising offspring that don't necessarily bear a strong resemblance to each other, but are also wonderfully cute standalone!
  • Back to Basics Award - Best of OW Free
    wowee it’s GMO, paraben and OW free, this traditional litter is a stellar standout without being bred with any overwrites!
  • Simply Sentimental Award - Alternate Scoring
    this category honours the sentimentality behind this bred litter independent of their physical traits. perhaps they descend from some of your earliest naturally-raised petz? are they part of a difficult pb nib project you spent many hours on? tell us!
  • People’s Choice
    a survey form will be put up after the final cutoff, and after 2 day window of voting, the people's choice winner will be determined!
  • Judge's Picks - each judge has a unique ribbon that they can award to a personal favorite!

There are plenty of categories and opportunities to win something.
These awards stack, so participants can theoretically win multiple categories!


Image

Helping me judge this contest are ...

Hexer extraordinare, Queenie @ Phantasmagoria,
The reknown prolific petz breeder, Becca @ Sungraze,
& our very own queen of goats, Hashbrown!

Our judges will determine the winners of the Best Cohesion, Best Variety, Best of OW-free and Simply Sentimental categories, and as individuals choose which litter to award their ribbon to as part of Judge’s Picks. People’s Choice, on the other hand, will be left up to a vote from which the judges are exempt.


Image


  • One litter submitted per member - can be either dogz or catz!
  • Litters must comprise of a minimum of 3 and maximum of 5 petz
  • To count as a litter, the submitted litter must share the same parents
  • Please submit offspring photos @ age 100
  • OWS allowed (though note, the litter cannot be considered for the OW free award category if used)

Image

On top of the prestige of being named a Best of Breeders winner, each category winner will receive a
personalised trophy and a Best of Breeders winner ribbon.

Image

+ A custom graphic award (similiar to the style of my sweepstake show graphics)
will also be created for each of the award winners featuring their litters!

For Judge’s Picks, each judge will have their own unique ribbon to award their favourite litter.
from left to right, the ribbons to be awarded belong to: myself, queenie, hash & sungraze

OWS used (if any): XXXtreme dali & lida's pittie on scottie
About the litter: I wanted to try to get a litter of pups that looked somewhat related, but had a lot of variety as well! SCPs of the pups are: Anthony (scottie scp), Daphne (poodle scp), Eloise (dachie scp), Francesca (dali scp), and Benedict (poodle scp). I'm really into the variety, but I like that the litter is also retaining some cohesion with all pups having black coats & white patches.

.......

Couldn't resist making a litter graphic as well!

OWS used (if any): None
About the litter: I started a new line for this, so they are g6 NIB. Both parents (and so all the kittens) carry all cali genetics in both slots except tail, where they have persian in both slots! They only carry BWS markings that show all three desired white patches, so all of their kittens have those, too! My aim was "monochrome calis with persian tails" because I was reminded that grey and blue are pretty together :)

About the litter: Sheepie coats were in my sturdy line early on, but were bred out in the pursuit of the ideal shape. So I took some time to breed them back in. This pair also carries new eye colors (130s, 171, and 100s). They breed true to standard and have double-black eye lids (which was a bit of pain since all my sheepie coated ones carried grey lids lol). I was also able to keep the red coat, which has been elusive to me personally hehe. Also: I am a big fan of minimal mutt patches, and I think the ones expressed here are really lovely.

Heartbeat - Blink - Sneeze - Giggle - Hiccup
OWS used (if any): no OWs used
About the litter:
I chose Imelda for her selfie eyelids and Splotch to complement the brown eyelids from Imelda and for one of my favorite markings, his alley spots without gray muzzle. I didn't intend for the slothy eyes to be so strong, but it turns out every kitten I chose from them has their slothy eyes too. Essentially, what I hoped to get from this pair was a lot like Hiccup who happened to be one of their first kittens. Sneeze has mutated white selfie eyelids and hidden chest patch, tail tip, and face blaze. Giggle has hidden alley spots.

About the litter: I love that catz mix a little better than dogz with head swaps and such, so I wanted to focus on that aspect. I also really wanted to breed a litter that was special to me in some way, so I chose two of my UGCh catz that, between them, had 4 different cat heads in their genetics.
