EDIT: I lied. Show will be extended until January 13 @ 12 noon CST. Dont ask. Just.. its better this way, okay?!This is an RNG ShowWelcome to Attention's Brace-Only Conformation Show!! A very special show where you can show off your dynamic duos and perfect pairs off - together!! Before you go any further though, lets clear one thing up.
What IS brace conformation?Excellent question!! Brace is a lesser seen and known class held at some conformation shows(AKC, possibly other registries??). In brace conformation, 2 dogs of the same breed, but not always of the same sex, are shown together. Using a
brace coupler, the dogs are
stacked, examined, and
gaited as a pair.
In real life competition, dogs are judged on similarity, as well as conformation, and therefor dogs of the same color are preferred. We will not place this condition on judging here, so please feel free to enter dogs of drastically different colors if you so wish!!
Understood?? If not, feel free to ask about anything you are unsure of. c: Lets get onto the nitty gritty stuff now: rules and requirements!!
Rules and Requirements No free or reused lineart.
You may recycle backgrounds, but nothing else.

No tracing is permitted.

*(fullbody rule does not apply to dogs partially covered by the other dog)

1 entry per dog!!
Backgrounds/handlers/shading/etc are allowed, but not required.
Background, if included, should depict general dog show scenery.
Dogs 6 months and older may compete. Age difference does not matter, but please try to keep the dog's sizes somewhat similar!! This simply means, please no tiny 6 month puppies with adults. c;
If I missed anything, let me know!! c: Now for.. well.. everything else!!
JudgingJudging will take place during a Join.Me session with at least 3 witnesses and
will be judged using a random number generator. Each team will get 1 roll for breed, another for group, and another for BIS(that is, if they advance that far). In the case of a tie, the tying teams will get a 'bonus' roll.

BBIS; Best Brace in Show
RBBIS; Reserve Best Brace in Show
BCh; Brace Champion - Will be given out at judges discretion as something of an 'honorable mention'.
PrizesRosettes or trophies will be given to the breed, group, RBBIS, and BBIS winners.
