In the puppy bay I always let people choose the hog they want to bay. We should have something that will suit your pups. As for rules, Here are mine. They are pretty much the same for the bigger bay pens.
1st. 3 judge rule- throw out high and low score.
2nd. Every dog enters the pen with a perfect 10. He is deducted 1/10 a point for each mistake he makes throw the 2 minutes.
3rd. We do not judge on style as for each breed is different.
4th. Dog is to enter pen and gather and maintain the hogs attention without breaking concentration or eye contact.
5th. He must hold him at bay without the use of unnecessary roughness or force for 2 minutes.
6th. If hog breaks bay dog must attempt to stop him any time he has the opportunity to do so. If he catches the hog he must release him within the 5 second count or he will automatically be disqualified.
7th. Dogs will not be docked for distrubance outside the pen this is a judges call.
8th. At no time will any score be changed. However if you have legitimate grevince judge may allow you a rerun.
9th. No protesting judges score once they are final.
10th. No open containers, no drunks, no profanity. We are a family orientanted event.
11th. It is manditory that you have a good time!!! Enjoy watching and competing against some of the BEST bay dogs in the USA. If you win a PRO class event here you will have beaten the best dogs in the country.
Sounds like you have some real good little boogers there sounds like they would be crowd pleasers.
