Enter the 2026 Promising Puppy Contest • Entries close April 30th!
Every year, the Colonial Rottweiler Club loves shining a spotlight on the promising young Rottweilers our members have bred and own. The Promising Puppy Contest is a fun way to celebrate the next generation, recognize promising youngsters, and share them with the CRC family in our second quarter 2026 newsletter.
If you have a puppy or junior dog you are excited about, this is your chance to show them off, share their pedigree and story, and let fellow members see who is coming up through the ranks.
Entering is a great way to:
- Highlight your young dog in front of CRC members
- Showcase your breeding program or promising prospect
- Be part of a fun club tradition
- Compete for bragging rights and special recognition
Once the newsletter is mailed, CRC members will vote for the overall winner in each age group. Winners will be announced by email and shared on the CRC Facebook page.
Entries will be featured in one of two divisions:
- 3 to 12 month puppy dog
- 12 to 24 month junior dog
Whether your youngster is just getting started or already turning heads, we would love to include them.
How Voting Works
Voting will take place in late May once all members have received the newsletter featuring the Promising Puppy section.
Voting will be conducted through SurveyMonkey using a direct link emailed to all CRC members. Members will be asked to vote for the overall winner in each age group and may only vote once.
Once the results have been tabulated and the winners identified, they will be announced via a separate email to members and shared on the CRC Facebook page.
What The Winners Receive
The top winning dog in each age group will receive:
- A complimentary full page color ad in an upcoming CRC newsletter of their choice
- Well earned recognition within the CRC community
Entry Options And Cost
To feature your puppy in the Promising Puppy section:
- Half page color ad: $60
- Full page color ad plus Promising Puppy entry: $150 total
If you purchase a full page color ad, the Promising Puppy portion is just $30.
