Beauty show Improvements
I think it would be nice to have a way to disqualify dogs from a beauty show for not meeting the show's specifications. This happens in real life, so I don't think its unreasonable.
I'm a little aggravated at seeing a show that says a certain theme or breed, and then is half filled with entries that obviously made no effort to fit. I've noticed some players are simply throwing their dogs in to every show they can, and frankly it kinda ruins it for me.
For example, I had a Winged Pit Bull contest. Obviously entries are required to be both pit bulls and have wings. What is frustrating is to have a dog entered that is neither a pit bull or has wings. Yes I know you just can not let them win, but that means that another person who may have had the correctly qualifying dog wasn't able to enter and have a chance at a show because someone else entered. Obviously if you disqualified a dog, then the show would be open for another entry.
On the flip side of that, I think it would be nice to have a way to cancel your entry. It would kinda suck if you meant to enter a different dog, but now can't because you selected the wrong dog.
Also a way to limit the shows like trials can be limited to certain breeds. I mean, you could not select a breed and its automatically open for all breeds, or you could pick and choose. That I think would also cut a lot on the disqualifying dogs.

I do agree with and fully support having the option to cancel your entry until such a time as the show closes for judging.<br /> <br /> I have mixed feelings about the need for limiting show entries because i don't see the need for it just yet. Shows cost $100 to enter and pay out only, what? $350? Making it financially inadvisable to just throw any dog at any show, so the behavior seems pretty well limited to a very occasional issue. Also weighing on my hesitance is that there are so many shows and they take so long to get enough entries that at this time it's difficult to say people are getting pushed out of shows by non-qualifying entries.<br /> <br /> If there were to be limits I would support a breed-specific block which would automatically prevent certain entries. I do not believe we could have people deciding that someone isn't working within the show's theme and just manually remove their dogs. Such a feature has such a potential for abuse.<br /> <br /> All in all I think this is a decent suggestion and I, with the aforementioned reservations, do support<br /> <br />

You have my <b>full support.</b> I agree with all that you suggested here. <br /> <br /> I get aggravated when I accidentally enter one of my own dogs into the wrong show. Not only that but I get a bit embarrassed of myself knowing I did so, but I guess one good part is that they don't know the competitors in the show, besides the winner. ~ Along side that, I think I and some others would like if we or the player who made the show(s) would be able to pick places, like 1-3rd place. Of course first place would be 350$, second place 250$, and third place 150$. Just like we have first to third place in trials showing on our dogs info. Just thought I'd add that. P;

Support :3 I was thinking about what if someone entered a full grown dog in a puppy only show?
