We will be focusing on breeds from this data set that are under 5 entries. We want to boost these entries to ensure that BOB and BOS can be awarded for each breed possible!
Prizes
If you register petz for a breed in need, adopt petz for breeds in need, or make accepted breedfiles for the breed groups we're focusing on, you're entered into a raffle to win a hex from a breed of your choice!
The following activities will count towards entry:
- Registering petz from a breed in need / +1 per breed
- Adopting out petz from a breed in need (includes litters, single adoptions, hexing services, gifts, etc) / +1 per breed, +2 if adopting out 5 or more petz in a breed
- Hexing a new accepted breedfile for any breed in this month's groups / +5 per breedfile
- Hexing a new accepted breedfile for any breed without files in this month's groups / +10 per new breed
If you adopt out a pet from a breed in need, you get +1 entry, and the person adopting also gets +1 when they register the pet (or when they show off a pose for the pet, if registration was transferred to them).
If you adopt out a pet from a breed in need and you register a pet from that breed for yourself, you get +1 for the adoption and +1 for your own pet.
All the entries will be entered into a raffle at the end of the month, and the winner can claim either:
One hex from any breed (doesn't have to be from Hound or Foreign)
Two hexes from any breed in need (doesn't have to be from Hound or Foreign)
Prizes will be hexed by a UKC Conf steward.
Of course, just because other breeds in the group aren't in need doesn't mean you should ignore them! Picking up more popular breeds and doing adoptions for them is encouraged too! They just don't gain entry to the raffle.
Please ask if you have any questions!
