2012 Pup Shoot-Out This Weekend!
Evansville, IN –
The sixty-four member field for the 2012 PKC Pup Shoot-Out has been confirmed. The event is scheduled for Friday and Saturday, March 2nd and 3rd, 2012 at the Isle of Capri Casino in Lula, Mississippi. Co-sponsored by PKC, Purina, and the Isle of Capri Casino, the winner drives home in a brand new pickup truck! The event is a single elimination event, conducted under Pro Rules with non-hunting judges, with early round cast winners advancing to the late round from Friday night. The four late round cast winners form Friday night late compete on Saturday night for the keys to the brand spanking new pickup truck! For one hound and handler, the dividend for the month of hard running, to get qualified, will be a huge one. The other three finalists will be paid $2000 for 2nd, $1000 for 3rd and $500 for 4th. Each handler will be playing the 1 in 64 odds, at the casino, of taking home a new truck.
Our field this year consists of 38 Males and 26 Females. Those 64 dogs represent two Black and Tan Males and one Female, two Cross-Bred Females and one Male, one English Female and two Males, along with 33 Walker Males and 22 Females.
Tennessee leads the field with nine qualifiers, followed closely by Georgia with eight qualifiers. North Carolina had seven qualifiers rounding out the top three states. Kentucky and Mississippi qualifiers number six each, along with the states of Alabama, Florida, and Missouri each having three qualifiers. Arkansas, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas and Virginia have two qualifiers each. These are joined by the states of New York, Wisconsin, and West Virginia with one qualifier each rounding out the field.
The field includes thirty-six Champions, sixteen Silver Champions, six Gold Champions, and six Platinum Champions that earned over $44,000 in monthly aggregate winnings to qualify for this event.
All participants are asked to be on site between 2:00 PM and 4:00 PM on Friday, March 2nd for pictures. At this time, handlers will draw for their first round cast, as well as, receive a cap and jacket commemorating the event, compliments of Nestle-Purina and PKC.
