Dear All,

I have a question again regarding organizing a dog show. I have heard
that in Aussie you have trophies sponsored by individual breeders,
kennels or other persons/companies(?). I'd like to understand how it
works.

1) Do you have the same thing at all breed shows, or only
specialties/club shows?

2) What does the sponsor expect in return? Publicity, in what form?
Are their names announced before awarding the trophy to the winner in
the ring? In a magazine? Somewhere else?

3) How to avoid a situation where everyone wants to sponsor the Best
In Show trophy and not any other placements?

4) Who decides how big the trophy/cup/prize (?) should be, a minimum
value, so to say?

5) In what forms do the awards actually come? Cups, bags of kibble,
ribbons, ....?

I'd appreciate any responses!

Thanks a lot in advance,
Irena
