SUPPORT THE BREED. SUPPORT THE BREEDER.
Narrow Path Dog Club Initiative 

As we prepare for our upcoming 2026 USCA S. C. Regional Breeding Evaluation, we have been brainstorming creative ways to make the day even more meaningful — not only for spectators, but especially for the breeders who dedicate countless hours, resources, and miles to present their dogs.

This initiative was inspired by a respected breeder from up north, who is traveling a significant distance to attend — bringing an outstanding high rated male simply to showcase him, even though he is not entered in competition. His commitment to supporting fellow breeders and giving placement opportunities to others deserves our utmost respect.

From that spirit of generosity, this idea was born.

 New Showcase Opportunity

Between the Puppy Classes and the start of the 12–18 Month Classes, we will host a special presentation break.

Please note:
• This is not an official USCA presentation
• No ratings or official placements will be given

This is purely about celebrating the breed and supporting the breeders behind it.

In a country as large as ours, opportunities to see quality dogs in person — or to assemble kennel groups — are limited. Even within our own region, there was only 1 show last year, which was our show on this field. Next show was held 8 hours away.

With that in mind, we are proud to introduce two special showcase categories:

⸻

 Stud Presentation

Breeders participating in our event are invited to present a stud that is not entered in competition.

Requirements:
• The stud must be titled
• Must have a Breed Survey meeting WUSV standards

This is a wonderful opportunity to showcase quality breeding stock and allow fellow breeders to evaluate dogs they may not otherwise have the chance to see.

⸻

 Mini Mixed Kennel Groups
• Minimum of three dogs
• Coat length and color may be mixed
• All dogs must carry the same kennel name
• At least three different parents represented
• All dogs must be officially entered in the show (  ENTRIES ARE EXTENDED TILL THURSDAY 3/5 11:59pm)

This category offers breeders the chance to proudly present the consistency and strength of their program — even if a full traditional kennel group is not possible. And it adds ring practice to the dogs.

⸻

 If you’re event’s participating breeder ans you are interested in participating in either of these categories, please contact 660-281-9813.

We hope this initiative brings added excitement, camaraderie, and appreciation to the day.

Most importantly, we celebrate every single one of you who makes the effort to participate, travel, and contribute to strengthening our breed.

We look forward to seeing you there.
