  • 💰🐾 Does Your Dog Qualify for Added Money at Nationals? 🐾💰

    One of the most exciting parts of BDC Nationals is Added Money — and it’s all built by participation throughout the season!

    For every sanctioned run, the BDC sets aside $5.00 to grow a prize pool that is paid out to the top finishing spots (1–5) at Nationals across all divisions.

    ✅ How to Qualify
    Any dog that has competed in three (3) or more sanctioned BDC events during the 2025 season is eligible to earn Added Money payouts at Nationals.

    🚫 Dogs that did not meet the three-event requirement will not be eligible for the Added Money payout.

    🎯 Still Plenty to Play For!
    Even if a dog does not qualify for Added Money, handlers are still welcome to participate in any payouts or calcuttas offered at Nationals.
